Now this is a fantastic piece of news.Must admit we are doing a great job commercially. Mr Ayre and the rest of the team deserve every bit of appreciation and support.YNWA

"Fox soccer????? What is this "soccer" nonsense we keep hearing about? Its Football, pure and simple. Please call it by its correct name. Even the American Governing Body is called 'Football'!!!!!!! Utter gibberish."
"Great news. Let's tell everyone what we do behind the scenes. And not only that, we can sell it to FOX Soccer. Where's our soul? We can sell that too."
"Very true chrisL77 if it's not nailed down they will attempt to sell it very sad it used to be about the FOOTBALL on the pitch now its just about the revenue off it. "
"Great idea in theory. Slight problem. You do realise who owns fox soccer don't you. Same people who own The S*n. Is it really such a good idea to get in bed with these people????"
"I think this is a great idea. In America, there is an HBO show called Hard Knocks that shows the preseason buildup of a different NFL team each summer. The show is great and gives fans and non fans great insight into the sport and can also help real in fans that don't support a particular team. Love this idea!"
"redbart1- it's called Fox "Soccer" because it is an American channel. The American sports fan clings on to the illusion that the NFL is the only "football" in the world. Ignorant, in my opinion, but it is what it is. Let's just be happy that our lads are going to be getting this type of exposure. I need more LFC fans around here to counteract all the stupid ManU fans I'm surrounded by."
"So Fergie says that MCFC are now MUFC rivals and not LFC. Lets use this to motivate us to win the FA Cup and really put in a strong finish to the season. Forever Red."
"listen crqrinc...if we americans decided to have are best athletes play "football" / soccer...we would dominate that sport as well. Our best athletes play American football, basketball, and baseball...imagine anyone out jumping Lebron James or Kobe Bryant for a header...didnt think so....be thankful for what you have"
"damon1892 Dont make me laugh. Imagine Carra playing your Maerican football. He would own it. LeBron James might be tall but it takes a lot of skill to finish a header just ask Andy Carroll. Dont make stupid comments like that on a football website.
YNWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Not too sure on this one. The link with the paper can't name for starters. Another is the wonderful gift called the "fab four" kinda lost there way with commercial stuff, just startin to feel we are loosing some of our scouse heritage to much too soon."
"johnny football...really...because andy finishes all of his headers...what position would carra play...kicker maybe...he weighs what....180? he would get crushed....i know what i am talking about..ive played them all and iam not knocking "football""
"Damon1892 it's not just about strength and size. Its also Balance, speed, agility image some of them big men trying to catch Bellamy as he was speeding down the wing. No chance what so ever. And it's football not head ball. Heading is a very small percentage of the game. "
"LFC aren't we the club that traditionally pride ourselves on conducting our affairs behind closed doors. I love the air of mystique which still clings to Anfield's hallowed halls and Idon't want to see the players in 'organic' situations I want goals on the pitch. "
"I think that we should just agree that the NFl and world football both have tremendous athletes, some of whom would do well in either league, some of whom would be completely lost. By the way, Carra would do well at free safety or strong safety if he were faster. Has the prerequisite toughness and will to win atude."
"to all englishmen..i mean no offense...as an american where Football is referred to american football...I would much rather watch european football anyday of the week...I just aim to educate rather than criticize.....would carra be aggressive yes...
"
"As a fan living in the states, I am thrilled with this news. I am also a hockey fan, and the 24/7 series leading up to the winter classics are done extremely well. I have no doubts that this will be a fantastic series"
" awful idea. I'd rather the club and the players focus on winning the FA Cup than pandering to the Murdoch media! I hope this isn't the start of the club selling out."
"I am totally against this, FSG have got to stop this happening. The rebuilding of the team and club will be difficult enough as it is. This does not reflect the Liverool way. Keep some privacy for the manager and team for God's sake."
"As this is being shown in America, I presume there will be subles? Most Americans have trouble understanding a typical English accent, nevermind a scouse one."
"Terrible idea. Reality TV is about dysfunction. Well run, successful clubs do not need a bunch of cameras following them around. We're turning into a god damn joke."
"it's called football..not soccer..and the other sports americans do it's some kind of rugby..
and the other thing..baseball..is derived from cricket..if i invent a sport today..the americans would add another rule or 2,change the kit and call it their way.."
"listen damon1892 those american "sports" you mention are all girl games over here cos you yanks are all s, your gridiron is rugby league for ballet dancers with your suits of armour"
" Are you kidding me, saying that andy carrol has the skill and body control to score a header and lebron james doesnt is one of the stupidest things i have ever heard in my life. if barry sanders or deion sanders or derrick rose or whoever the list goes on and on... had grown up playin world football their entire lifes they woulda have definitly been superstars."
"For Fox sake you miserable moaners how can you turn good news and media coverage into a moan? No doubt after we've beaten Chelsea & put the FA Cup in the trophy cabinet you'll moan about the score."
"Having lived and coached kids in the USA I feel this is positive. Chelsea, Utd, Barca and Real have really cornered the market there and are gaining huge revenue through merchandise sales, camps and sponsored tournaments. Those are the shirts the kids wearing. With the negative publicity in the media this season it will be nice to give our club some more positive exposure."
"Great work by the owners. Been very impressed with their reign so far. Have backed us financially, signed up the most lucrative kit deal in football for next year and now we have another revenue stream as well. Superb work behind the scenes. Just need the performances on the pitch to match."
"This sounds great but I dont think now is the right time. We have to focus 100% on top4 next season and this will be a distraction. Spy on the walls normally end in tears!! YNWA"
"Wow oh wow only with Liverpool - the first and only club worthy of such an accolade - I really do feel privileged and honoured to be a supporter of this great club. YNWA. "
"I've read that it is only going to be aired in the US and not shown at all in the UK. Unless LFC.TV will have access to it. Also I wish it was anyone else but Fox Sports as the are owned by Murdoch. Haven't the owners realised yet that we don't like him or his s paper. So altho it would be great to see behind the scenes it makes me uncomfortable cos it's Fox."
