The whole situation that Liverpool Football Club is experiencing is depressing to me. When the club was sold, they told us they would respect the traditions of the club, they would not put the club into debt and would give us money to buy quality players.
So we looked forward to a new horizon, one with a brand spanking new stadium where nearly 60,000 people would be belting out “You will never walk alone”. Where we would buy a few more players like Fernando Torres and therefore we would finally have the quality of players to match the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal for Premiership honours. We looked forward to having players that would find ways to beat teams we struggle against.
All Liverpool supporters had dreams. Of a title drought extending 18 years ending!
Sadly, the semi trailer of reality struck us and it was as welcome as an arrow through the neck with the water bill attached to it.
It appears that the American owners will not invest into the team and are only looking to fill their coffers. They see it as a business rather than a huge aspect of peoples lives.
Sure they own other sporting teams, but none of those teams compare to the brand that is Liverpool. The world is larger than the 300 million people in the good ole’ US of A and I would surmise that a significant more know about LFC than the Texas Rangers or Dallas Cowboys.
They have failed t understand the passion the fans have and why this whole situation is very unsettling for all us Reds!
I truly believe that if we give Rafa real money, money like the Roman’s or Glazer’s give their gaffa, that Liverpool could actually contend.
That MUFC can spend nearly 35m pounds on a couple of unproven teenagers in Nani and Anderson and still bring in Owen Hargreaves for nearly 18m pounds shows that you need to buy quality. Look at who else they got in the squad – Rooney for 26m, Ferdinand for 27m, Carrick for 18m, Ronaldo for 14m.
You look at that quality and you can see why they are suiting atop the league.
If our yankee doodles were serious of making us a winner, then they need to put money into the team. Back Rafa to buy the players he wants to the club successful and reclaim its position amongst the elite. Othwerwise, sell it off to someone who will do so.
