Liverpool announce historic agreement with supporters groups | OneFootball

Liverpool have finalised and confirmed plans to set up a Supporters' Board at the club.

The goal is for the club and its owners to strengthen dialogue with the supporters, especially after the fiasco involving the European Super League last term.

The announcement comes after significant talks between the Reds' management and the Spirit of Shankly supporters group.

The board will have ten members from the Spirit of Shankly group, while six others will come from different fan organizations.

Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan said in a club statement: "The idea came from an understanding and recognition there was a lack of engagement with supporters on some important fan-facing issues and that was something we wanted to address.

"There has been a tremendous amount of engagement with our fans across the last several years, particularly the work that went into Kiev and Madrid, a lot of engagement around the Club World Cup, and issues such as equality, diversity and inclusion, ticketing issues and our sanctions process. But it was clear we needed to address our levels of dialogue and put a process in place that was more formal.

"This has been a healthy process with a lot of engagement, and ultimately we're really proud of where we've ended up. We think the Supporters Board concept is a really good one and it allows us to engage in a really meaningful way. I want to say a huge thank you to all the different groups we've engaged with to get to this point."
