i agree with brendan. as heartbreaking as it'd be, there'd something of a kindness in selling torres, like releasing a gorgeous squirrel or something back into a nut-filled wild.

No its not.
Its like letting the beautiful woman you love go and fuck a guy with a bigger dick. We should kill him if he tries to leave.

remove 'bigger' and your analogy becomes more accurate.

lol... yea that was it I started my protest early...thanks 🙂 Actually, I'd go more if I could get hold of tickets reasonably close to the issue price. Any ideas?
What do you think we should do as fans regarding the owners? Or do you think their stewardship is what's best for the club?

You have to join up for a ballot thing I think, it seems quite productive, one of the others will tell you.
What do we fans do regarding the owners? Is their stewardship what's best? Good questions.
Let's look at the second one first, there could be much better options and there could be much worse ones.
The trouble with all this ownership lark it's always a gamble and risk jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, and without wanting to overdo the idioms, I am a great believer in better the devil you know, than the one you don't.
I actually do have some sympathy with H&G, not the worlds richest men by any stretch of the imagination, but they did have a plan, and theirs like many others was royaly fucked up by the recession. Had they not some idea about what the club is all about , they would have cut and run a while ago. It's tough for them too, they have made some daft decisions and said things they will regret, on top of that had to deal with a petulant manager, who has some Svengali hold on a section of the support.
We need an injection of cash which they are working on, and they are no doubt acutely aware of what needs doing with the team and manager. They have sold-off their other family jewels (or in Hicks case) are trying , so as someone said in another thread they seem to be in it for the long haul.
So the second part, what do the fans do if they are unhappy with the owners, I suppose in answering the above maybe a significant section of the support think along my lines, it could be better, they seem to know what the problems are, and it could be worse, and if we had a more flexible and receptive , less stubborn manager things might not be that bad. Ultimately it boils down to basic economics, supply and demand, and if it looks less likely they can fill a big stadium most of the time which fulfills the plan, and pays the debt they will look to sell the Club on. I think all the fans can do is carry on doing our job being fans, and trust that our standing, reputation, fan-base and history carry us through.

Read a FourFourTwo interview with Fernando the other day in which he accredited Rafa with turning him into the player he is. On and on and ariston about how Rafa's developed him in the striker he currently is.
How convenient that that article didn't make the upper echelons of the SCM Football Forum.

Right, so with that Judge Jules kiss of death, it's now clear that Torres will be leaving this summer
[/quote]
"The good news news for Liverpool is that striker Fernando Torres says he intends to stay after recent reports from Spain suggested he could leave in the summer. 'My place is here at Liverpool', he said on his website." ["Sunday Times" today]
Poor the Braindead. Again.

In fairness, Jules..I don't think Brendan really thought Torres actually would leave.
Just that he should.
[/quote]
To begin with perhaps, Avvy, but that post of his I just quoted suggests otherwise.

Not Jules, it's just that you have a habit of getting virtually everything wrong, so I usuallu expect the opposite of what you think will happen as the likely outcome
Like the "usuallu" (sic) there.
Why do you like it? Do you enjoy typos? Or perhaps think that I don't know how to spell it correctly?
Even by your outlandish standards that's unlikely
Even by your outlandish standards that's unlikely
I was referring to the substance rather than the typo, a characteristic attempt at a sidestep out of a corner.
What substance are you quacking on about, exactly?
There's another.
