Liverpool FC Fans Groups Should Be Careful Over Takeover of Club

I can not help but be concerned about the language used by two groups of fans of Liverpool - Spirit of Shankly and ShareLiverpool FC - aims to make an offer for the club. Supporters of both clubs - or, as the Spirit of Shankly pompously defines "marriage" - have links with the far left, like most of a city proud of its political past, but I'm afraid they're barking against ' wrong tree with his model for the future of Liverpool FC. The purpose of the survey is to convince fans to part with £ 150 million to buy a significant stake in the club. They believe that, once acquired, can run the club in a similar way to Barcelona and Real Madrid - where fans (or members) to vote for President of each club with the promise of transfer targets. The success of Real Madrid and, in particular, of Barcelona, would be welcome, of course, but the model is deeply flawed. Real Madrid, for example, is an incredible financial debt unsustainable club survives thanks to the ability of the creation of Spain's Real Madrid club. A series of bad loans from the wealthy elite of the country are taken into account because they are called to economic ruin in a country still has a rigidly structured elite. Barcelona, meanwhile, is perhaps a better financial model, but is on a scale so large it dwarfs Liverpool. Barcelona is a nation of Catalan in Catalonia, Spain and worldwide - and have the guarantee and the tensile force per game. Liverpool can not even pretend to have the full support of their city. Perhaps the only club in the UK with the ability to create a model similar to Barcelona is Celtic have an unprecedented opportunity "natural" global due to its ties with Ireland, Glasgow, Scotland, and Catholicism. Spirit of Shankly and ShareLiverpoolFC probably have reason to be concerned about the owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks case - after all, has not had much success in sports stadiums in the United States. However, they were much better in connecting Dubai (ICD), which have expressed interest in buying 98% share of Gillette last year. The simple economics of the modern game demands that the masses do not have the capital or the ability to maneuver to meet the quickly changing demands of owning a club. Best wait for the next to meet wealthy benefactor - and expect the best.
