He's got a short memory about some of the embarrassing defending he did of Kenny during his second stint, and I backed him too, because you know, I want to see people do well and at least get the time and chance to. I didn't lose it with Rafa until about 5 seasons in, same with Ged, managers need time, but some of the stuff of late on here from posters who've backed previous managers during similar runs of form, poor spending or whatever, is laughably hypocritical and hopelessly selective.
I hope Rodgers either gets his shit together or we make a decision sharpish the other way, but whoever we bring in will be on a hiding to nothing if they don't turn the club around. I'll want them to do well, because it means we're doing well. Not cheerleading, not being a superfan, just wanting the club to get back on track, I couldn't give a fuck who under, so long as we get there. I could (like other posters), have it in for the next manager from the word go because he's replaced this one, but they'll get my backing, even when the chips are down.
It's nothing personal but if people want to act like oneupmanship obsessed cretins then I can't be arsed anymore, they deserve all the flack they get. They'll get a spell where they can act like smarmy cunts because they'll get their own way and Rodgers will go, which is what alot of posters seem more obsessive about, having their day in The Lying Rag. Until 6, 12, 18 months down the line when the next poor twat doesn't turn us around overnight and we have to put up with Moo and other idiots telling us how shite they are every day until the same thing happens, ad infinitum.
How many managers challenge consistently and how many win the league? Not many, the ones who've done it of late have been at super-rich clubs and have ended up walking after a couple of seasons, they're non-entities alot of the time, but they generally get good backing from their fans. We on the other hand, stand and sing a hollow song while turning the other cheek and singing for other ex managers, etc. Classy supporters my arse.
We'll be in the same position two years down the line, because fans won't be happy unless we're challenging in back to back seasons and even then I suspect it won't be enough, because there will be another reason to want rid, to be a clan of critics who want to be proven right about 1 manager in a league of 20 not being the pinnacle and putting the club where it apparently "belongs". We don't belong to anything any more, we're just graceless pretenders trying to imitate something we read somewhere, or something we vaguely remember being "The Liverpool Way". Rubbishing characters as not being fit to stand in the shadow of past greats, while spending the next bedding in period desperately trying to look for words that are mildly reminiscent of something Sir Bob used to say, or a graceful touchline presence that Shankly used to demonstrate. I eagerly await being entertained by the shortlived, empty faith it promotes. It's like religion innit? We're all peaceful mates who are at one with the World and hoping for the same thing, until God doesn't deliver after a few months so we decide to turn on eachother, again.
Hypocrisy, bitterness and blind faith. Same old, same old.
