Liverpool have responded to recent fan protests around ticket rises. An alternative ’12th Man sponsorship’ has been floated which would see a brand or company sponsor the club to cover the £1.2 million that the ticket rises would raise.

But in a letter to the Liverpool Supporters’ Board, Bamber stated that the club has ‘not been able to reach a shared outcome’ in the dispute over the ticket price hikes. “As confirmed in our communications to supporters, the club will review its position at the end of the three-year period and will engage with the Supporters Board accordingly, as part of our ongoing and legally binding relationship.

“As we have previously stated, we are also ready to continue to explore your commercial ideas, like the 12th Man sponsorship, following our meeting on 1 April, if this is something you remain open to working together on. “As we have discussed, if any of these ideas were to progress to a successful outcome within the three-year period, we would obviously review our position at that time.”
