Top man Robbo, most of our lads are involved in things like this, I'd like to see more of it and more generosity from them and the club.
They are actually in a unique position to help change society a little for the better, not just with their donations, but by shaming all the wealth hoarders with these acts and to start to reverse the thinking that hoarding all your money and amassing as massive a personal fortune as you possibly can and not giving a stuff about anyone else is cool, it really isn't.
I really like that our lads are doing things like this, they're standing up for decency and values the UK once had and seems to have long since forgotten.
I don't see why the club can't work with the council and build social housing in Liverpool, it would be an absolutely brilliant thing to do and given the incredible profits they've started generating they could do something absolutely incredible for the city with what amounts to pennies to them
I think it could prove to be great for building an incredibly strong economy in Liverpool too, I've always wanted to have the finances to start a 2 tier scheme myself. Build social housing, charge next to nothing in rent, or charge the rent and employ responsible investment bankers (if there is such a thing) to invest that rent money for the tenants. The maximum lease for the social housing is 10 years, but the second tier is affordable housing, at the end of the 10 years or earlier if they wish, the social housing tenants get their invested money back, to use for a deposit on one of the affordable homes.
It would give people an incredible opportunity and the incentive to be able to work themselves out of poverty as council housing used to offer people in the UK. Putting a time limit on their occupancy of the social housing, except for a limited number of homes for the disabled and mentally ill, should help people to have greater drive to seize their opportunity
