Liverpool fan union Spirit of Shankly set for change as popular chairman steps down

The chair of influential Liverpool fans' union, Spirit of Shankly, will step aside from the role to focus his efforts on the LFC Supporters' Board.

Joe Blott has been the head of SOS for the past four years but was also given a similar position on the LFC Supporters' Board when it was first created in the aftermath of the controversial Super League proposals that were doomed inside 48 hours of their public existence in 2021.

Later that year, it was confirmed the club would create the Supporters' Board in an effort to bring "meaningful fan representation" to boardroom level at Anfield with Mr Blott chosen to chair the 16-strong group that was made up of key figures from a variety of diverse fan groups within Liverpool's worldwide supporter-base.
