Spirit of Shankly, the Liverpool supporters’ union, has called upon owners Fenway Sports Group to consider their positions at the club with immediate effect.
Reds fans have been left disgusted by their club’s decision to throw their weight behind a proposed new 20-team European Super League which would, if it were to happen, threaten the entire balance of the domestic, European and international game.
