In faith for Liverpool, They should not sell him. Does it faith mean trust?

The sentence seems odd and old-fashioned, but I presume that 'in faith for' = 'in order to keep faith with' = in loyalty to.

I've never heard this expression.  There is a football club of a sort in Liverpool and I think this might be referring to it.  I think it probably means 'to keep faith with' or 'out of loyalty to', both of which are much more standard expressions, in my view.

Hi Thomas,
A belated welcome to the Forum.

You mentioned that There is a football club of a sort in Liverpool.
 
I take it you're not a fan of them, then? (;)) Wink

Liverpool Football Club are an English professional association football club based in Liverpool, England. Liverpool play in the Premier League, and are the most successful club in the history of English football, having won more trophies than any other English club. They have won a record 18 First Division titles, and seven FA Cups. Liverpool have won five European Cups, which is an English record. They have also won the League Cup a record seven times.


I donn't know how up-to-date this information is. I copied it from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C.

Best wishes, Clive
