Summary
Host Christian Wulff is joined by Chris Sermanni as well as a couple of very special guests. Joe Blott is the Chair of Liverpool supporters group ‘Spirit of Shankly’ and Martin Gemmell is the founder of Celtic supporters group ‘Celtic Shared’.
The podcast covers what exactly is being implemented at Liverpool and the journey that Spirit of Shankly and the wider Liverpool support took to get into this position. We investigate how a supporters board works and what steps are required to get there.
We then discuss the fractured nature of the Celtic support and what Celtic Shared is trying to achieve in uniting the support and having one voice moving forard. We focus on what a supporters board would look like at Celtic and the issues we must overcome to get there.

| 0:00.0 | The Hello, I am Christian Wolf, and it's great to welcome you to a very special podcast from |
| 0:39.8 | The Cynic available to both our subscribers on the Cynic.co and our free podcast feed. The reason |
| 0:46.9 | we are making it available to everyone is that this is a topic we feel is important and hopefully |
| 0:52.1 | interesting to all Celtic fans. We're going to have a look at |
| 0:56.0 | how a supporters board is being set up at Liverpool Football Club, which is a formal legal agreement |

| 1:08.7 | board to give consent to major changes at the club. |
| 1:12.7 | And we're going to discuss whether such a supporter support model can be adopted for Celtic |

| 1:36.0 | We also have one other cynic with me. |
