And they miss the irony that their superfan attitude and readiness to accept apparent mediocrity in the name of 'supporting' the manager regardless, period, is actually the complete opposite of the principles and beliefs Shankly built the club on and instilled into it's very fabric. We're not here merely to compete, but to win. And if the current manager, irrespective of his name, can't achieve that then another should be found who can.
Brilliant post, I think most of those RAWKERs are clueless kids, playing
cowboys and Indians while someone in the background cashes in on clicks.
It's sad but most of the online stuff about LFC is
business (Paul Tomkins, the worst
offender). Feeding the passions and delusions of ordinary fans with utter b*llshit and
waterboarded
statistics. It's easy to string these people along for years with
"we're somehow superior to other clubs and tomorrow will be better".
It's too difficult for most LFC fans to face up to reality of Chelsea, United, City and Arsenal
and many have never lived through our successful period. They don't understand the fact
that LFC simply doesn't lose FA cup semi-finals to Aston Villa.
We sacked Kenny after a year and a half in charge during which he won the C1C and narrowly
lost an FA cup final (Owner John W. Henry later noted that even a win in the FA Cup would not
have saved Dalglish's job).
Here we are 3 years in to the current project, losing semi-finals (Villa???) and being humiliated in Europe.
I honestly don't see the logic there.
The age-profile at the club is dangerously out of kilter, with the top end (high earners, no sell on value)
having being systematically slashed without replacement and bizarrely the low end demanding massive contracts???
Hallmarks of a selling club with a youth team coach that will never win anything. Smash and grab for top 4 is the
new success.
In the meantime our rivals consolidate and prosper.
