France want to hear from fans & £6.5m deal agreed – Liverpool FC Roundup

Liverpool are soon to make Calvin Ramsay‘s signing official after striking a deal for the right-back, but, importantly, the chaos of the Champions League final continues to be investigated.

 

France want to hear from fans

The complete failings of the Champions League final in Paris that led to harrowing scenes continue to be laid bare as investigations continue.

An outrageous report for the policing of the final suggested extreme measures were taken due to Hillsborough, a shocking revelation that have, rightly, led to outrage.

And on Thursday, there was both a senate hearing and a press conference at the Stade de France, which saw confirmation that fan representatives will be invited for the hearing and a damning word on how CCTV footage was allowed to be deleted.

“It is absolutely incomprehensible that not one person thought it might be a good idea to keep hold of the CCTV. It is impossible, it is unacceptable,” senator Francois-Noel Buffet said, as translated by Daniel Austin.

The fake ticket vitriol was rightly not the focus during the press conference, but instead the organisation of the event, which has global eyes on it with the Rugby World Cup and Olympics on the horizon in 2023 and 2024.

For Liverpool, though, the establishment of the facts is paramount and this will remain the case until they are acknowledged and the lies banished.
