All the applause for them bowing to public pressure drowns out the questions: why would a club that uses socialism, Shankly and the ideas of togetherness make such a decision? The answer to this would mean more than the backslaps for FSG

Had a couple of great emails today. Sample insults: & #39;vainglorious dick& #39;, & #39;pig-ignorant ****head& #39;, & #39;lying ****& #39;. My responses were, er, robust. Reminds me of the happy days when too many people thought Suarez was using terms of endearment.

Like I say, at times of crisis people show their true colours. I expected better of FSG. John Henry is not a stupid man. And if you& #39;re happy that it& #39;s explained away by communication problems between Boston, London and Liverpool then you need help

The decision to furlough was not made in error. It was not a misjudgment. They did it because they thought it was right and then they& #39;ve bowed to public pressure. I& #39;m OK with them thinking it& #39;s right. I& #39;m not OK with them trying to sell me & #39;this means more& #39; at the same time

The bottom line: if it& #39;s all about money, fine. I can live with that and will act accordingly. But Liverpool& #39;s marketing strategy is built around the club& #39;s & #39;values& #39;. Can& #39;t have it both ways...
