Trans-Atlantic discussions are set to continue today with senior Liverpool management and FSG weighing up what response they should make to the mass protests in the 77th minute from fans.

Urgent boardroom talks began in the immediate aftermath of Saturday’s game, and continued yesterday, with up to 10,000 supporters having voted with their feet against the new tariffs for next season by exiting early. The dearest ticket when the new Main Stand is open will be £77.

FSG were shocked and surprised not only by the numbers involved, but by angry chants branding them “greedy b*******” amid a warning that the dissent will continue. They have funded the £120m development of the new Main Stand.

Supporters groups also targeted Liverpool’s commercial partners, including Subway, in an email and Twitter campaign in a clear indication that Saturday’s movement will not be a one-off.
