If you spent a day on Twitter you’d be forgiven for thinking that our entire supporters are against FSG, John Henry and desperate for the club to sign a new midfielder and now the Spirit of Shankly fan base has been forced to comment on possible protests against our owners.
Taking to their Twitter account, they wrote: ‘you need the support of the fans who go to the games, no member has contacted us to protest!’
This is a stark example of the difference between the club’s social media fans and the supporters who attend Anfield and weekly away games, something that angers many online when this debate comes up.

There’s no doubt that other Premier League clubs spend more money than we do and that our owners get a lot of money running our club, but that doesn’t mean the majority is really against the ownership we currently have.
A run of poor results and performances has led to some dramatic reactions online and constant calls for ‘FSG OUT!’ underneath most of the club-related tweets, it shows that a large part of the fanbase is bummed out.
For SOS to come out and make this statement through the programs, even if people don’t like to accept or acknowledge this division among the supporters, most of the fans who attend the game are not as upset with our owners as those who they watch from afar.
It’s another debate to say who’s right and who’s wrong, but the events and actions of those inside Anfield would normally be closest to the club’s historic spirit, whether you think that is.
You can read the comments via @spiritofshankly on Twitter:
many of the responses to this are ridiculous: Jay put his heart and soul into saving our club in the years he was active in the union; he dedicated his life to it and he knew that to organize a protest you need the support of the fans who attend the games. – No member has contacted us to protest!
