The club announced that they are partnering with Mitel to help then in their communication technology.
They are spinning this as of being particularly relevant to the club’s communication with fans:
“… Enhance the club’s fan experience by implementing innovative cloud-based communication and collaboration solutions, which will enable supporters to quickly and securely connect with the club from anywhere, and on any device, through voice calls and online. ”
Not sure how the club is going to be connecting with fans via voice calls. Does that mean they will have a phone number supporters can call? Because they alreasy have one of those and have done for decades!
Or perhaps fans will be receiving voice calls from the club. Just what EVERY fan was asking for.
According to Wikipedia, Mitel are a telecommunications company based in Ottowa, Canada. They have been around since 1973 apparently but are not a company that has been elevated into the public consciousness.
This is not the kind of deal that will get fans excited. There has been a host of rumors that Liverpool are interested in anew forward int he next few transfer windows. Christian Pulisic is a wanted man by other clubs but could yet end up at Anfield.
There are other rumors that the Reds will be going for a recognized number 9 forward to share the burden of leading the line with Roberto Firmino.
