Time to bring down the curtain on this failing regime

|

Following the catastrophe that was defeat to Blackpool, yes I said Blackpool, the manager said the start his troops have made to the season is ‘unacceptable’.  Well Roy I have news for you….. millions of Liverpool fans around the world feel exactly the same.  Its often said that once the whistle blows the responsibility  lies with the eleven players who wear the Liver bird upon their chest, but I believe the managers personality and ethos is etched on those same players.

Yes Roy did work wonders at Fulham, but with respect that was Fulham.  His footballing knowledge we are told is vast, extensive, arguably unrivalled, if ever I’m on ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire’  I might just employ Roy as my ‘phone a friend’. But managing Liverpool FC isn’t a game show, its not another string to add to your bow.  Managing Liverpool should be your passion, your heatbeat, the air that you breathe. I always thought that the current manager would struggle on all this criteria.

Purslow & Broughton decided that Hodgson was the person best suited to take Liverpool forward, I think we all question the footballing knowledge of these two gents. What a season ticket holding Chelsea fan is doing in our great club I’ll never know.  Job description: to find a worthy owner for LFC… so far job failed.  It still irritates me that this Chelsea fan seems to have played a key role in the current managers appointment.  Do you think our neighbours down the East Lancs Road would allow Kenny Dalglish to help select Fergie’s successor?

I have written before that I feel the current squad is better than the league table suggests, but under Woy, im not sure these players will ever throw off the shackles while Mr Hodgson is holding the reigns.  Yes we know the ownership farce is totally distracting to everyone involved at our club, but the team selection has at times left many scratching their heads.  Lucas and Poulson together – why?  Dilemma… the troublesome left back position needed filling… Woy’s answer.. Re-sign an injury prone player who struggles to play twenty games per season.  By the way Woy, Aurelio is injured… again.

It leaves me feeling totally sick and cheated that our beloved club is being kicked,robbed and stripped of its very heart.

I pray that people who care about LFC soon emerge at ALL levels and take the institution that is our club to a better place, a place that it belongs and a place that fans across the world can journey to with hope in their hearts.

    Oh! Too true , Too true ! Little will be done about it as it is all done to appease G&H…

  • Roy says:

    Yes, it troubles me too, that’s our problem, we have owners that don’t care, all they could see was pound signs, and who do they appoint, an ‘effing’ chelsea fan who does’nt care either! Now purslow has generated some cash for the club, but at the end of the day, it’s just a job for him. So if the people at the top don’t care, it does’nt take long for it to seep though the club, we can see this every time the boy’s take the field, mind you the way some of them have been treated a few just don’t want to be there anymore, and it shows. Time to get the king back in charge, that would be a start. I know i moan but i will always love the club. YMWA.

  • steve says:

    Bring in Kenny , and let Woy watch the King bring back life and passion to our players. The next three matches will either make or break the club for many years to come

  • Zahid says:

    I think the new owners if we get any, should be made to make that decision and they should bring in someone of their own choice. Roys out of his depth, the British players might get on with him but the whole squad needs to have faith and beleive in him and if they don’t they won’t play well under him because they’ve lost all confidence in him which is what it looks like……YNWA

  • b-boy says:

  • A FINNIGAN says:

    bring kenny in put roy turkey neck on garden leave and let kenny run the club when rush went to juv. in 87 he built a new forward line then blackburn from championship to prem.champions and spent no more than at the time souness,fergie and keegan if torres gets sold who better than kenny to spend the cash or roy he would buy zamora 20m,fowler 20m,carrack off fergie for 30m and haagland for 15m

  • samuel charles says:

    UNTILL WE SELL THIS CLUB, UNTILL THE FANS WAKE UP AND STOP GOING INTO THE GROUND AND STAND OUTSIDE AND MAKE MORE NOISE AND TURN UP THE FULL BOYCOTT, WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

    WAKE UP AND JUST GET ON WITH THAT ABOVE, UNTILL THEN BUY YOUR SHIRTS, DREAM OF SIGNING NOBODY, DREAM OF CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL, AND THEN MAYBE YOU WILL WAKE UP WHEN ITS TO LATE.

    JESUS CHRIST…

  • Kev Crawford says:

    A FINNIGAN – You trying to give me a heart attack. I would laugh but Roy could just do it.

  • Adam says:

    I have never been so ashamed to call myself a Liverpool supporter as I am now. It’s not the results on the pitch that make me ashamed although they are not great. It’s the way everybody has turned their back on our manager who in my opinion is a good manager and the results will get better under him it takes time when a new manager comes in it doesn’t help matters with the ownership situation I think things will be much better when them American idiots have packed their bags and buggerd off. But until that day comes everybody shud get behind Roy and give him the support that every other Liverpool manager has had. What happened to you’ll never walk alone!?

  • Mikey88 says:

    @Adam

    Mate, you have to realise that the tactics are the main problem. Rafa had us closing down all over the pitch. Roy wants the team to sit back in two lines of four. He is basically trying to instil an underdog mentality. We are above that, we are a team of players that needs to attack. That is the problem.

    Normally by now, with a new manager you would see some promise. We have seen nothing. If we lose the next two, something has to be done, and trust me there is nothing more than I would like to be proved wrong.

    A bet Carra is feeling a bit stupid now for siding with Purslow and working with the press to get Rafa out. Carra also used to refuse to play full back for the team!!! Great guy!

  • Yunus says:

    Totally agree , how can we have MB who is a die hard Chelsea fan brought in to sell our club, it is a disgrace, KD should be assisting RH with immediate effect to bring stability and get us out of the relegation zone.Sammy Lee does not offer anything even when he was RB’s assistant.

  • LFCDIEARD says:
