Corporate Culture of Liverpool FC

The name Bill Shankly is well-known in the Liverpool family. He started a revolution that made Liverpool to what is today. He set out a vision in 1959 when he became the manager of Liverpool.

“Whether you are a player, manager, director, or fan, you are equal” – Bill Shankly

He believed that everyone was equal and with this the Liverpool family became ever more united. Over the years, the bond between the fans and the club grew even stronger. Managers that succeeded Bill Shankly built on the foundations that he set out. Now, Steven Gerrard is the identity of Liverpool Football Club.
