Just wanted to get Liverpool fans opinions on the upcoming fly on the wall documentary that LFC are taking part in.
For the past few months an American film crew have been following LFC and are aiming to air their documentary in five parts in late September, it will be on Channel 5 on these shores.
Given the recent history of these types of documentaries such as the infamous “do I not like that" Graham Taylor film about the disastrous England qualifying campaign.
And more recently the QPR Five Year Plan film which showed the owners to be useless and erratic in equal measure.
From what I’ve read the documentary will feature the Suarez/Evra drama, the end of the Kenny reign, the FA Cup Final loss and the League Cup win.
The camera crew were still following the team for the opening game of the season against WBA.
I personally feel that any club that agrees to these types of film set themselves up for a fall, the filmmaker after all has to make it as interesting to a neutral fan as possible and negativity is always more dramatic than positives.
So what are your thoughts?

I'm absolutely dreading it.
I can't understand why the owners have agreed to it. Well I can actually, it's for the money.
I'm sure their will be some editorial approval, but still I think it's a step too far in trying to sell the club and generate cash. There is a possibility it could backfire horrendously and make somebody at the club a complete laughing stock as is the way of these documentaries. I understand that the camera's are going to be allowed in the dressing room. It beggars belief really.
I'm sure rival fans will be rubbing their hands in anticipation as a chance to extract the urine.

My thoughts exactly.
Surprised your owners have agreed to it, rarely do these things reflect well on the subject matter.
Negativity pulls in more viewers than any positive spin.
Still will be interesting for a neutral such as myself, sounds like they have filmed during some dramatic times.

----------------------
You state that it will have to be made intriguing for the neutral fan, why? It's a programme about Liverpool and the goings on at Liverpool, why would a neutral want to watch it and why should it be made for them and the man Utd was just an example, if there was a programme about them and the way the club was run. I would rather boil my eyelids in paint thiner than watch it and it goes for any other club!

Not all fans are as blinkered as your good self however and will quite happily watch a documentary about a club other than their own.
I watched the QPR one for example.
Am I a QPR fan? No.
Did I watch it as a neutral? Yes, because it was interesting to get an insight into how a club is run behind closed doors.
If you need paint thinner I'll happily supply it

The programme is being made for American audiences and the owners probably had there fair share in what would be aired.
I'm honestly not bothered, I'm sure SOS will be happy, it means that they get to see what's going on and then they can complain about it.
Some will enjoy it and some won't.
