The decision has led to considerable backlash from supporters, who have subsequently made their feelings clear at games.Protests were held for last weekend’s clash with Fulham, with no flags adorning the Kop as usual, while the only banner on show displayed the simple message “no to ticket price increases”, and was paraded around Anfield during the game to applause from fans.READ MORE: How Liverpool could line up next season with 3 transfers to transform Arne Slot's sideREAD MORE: Liverpool sent clear message on Arne Slot future as Jurgen Klopp claim madeThere are no signs of FSG backing down from the plans, although club legend Carragher has called for a rethink."My problem with it is... first of all, I think we've got great owners," Carragher told the Liverpool Echo.

"No owners of any club are ever popular but they have been absolutely fantastic for us, I'd argue that with the staunchest Red who goes home and away.“I don't understand the ticket price thing in terms of how much they are bringing in from sponsorship and the revenue from the Premier League and when you look at wage bills, Liverpool's is right up there with the best. And this idea that they need to up ticket prices to pay for these players, it's absolute nonsense.Liverpool fans protested against the price rises during the game against Fulham(Image: Getty Images)"The supporters are not daft, there's enough out there, the intelligent ones can put the numbers together and say well you're only going to gain an extra [small amount].

Unfortunately, they live in London, they can put their prices up and you can't do it here."You get it back in different ways at Liverpool, because we are a bigger club than them. There's no gain [from it]."Carragher’s comments come as supporters groups have called for more discussions with the club’s owners in order to find a solution.
