This summer we have forum members
  • taking on one another
  • shitting on LFC players
  • damning owners, staff and manager
  • shouting for and against new or potential transfers
  • crying for buying and selling players
  • strutting their superior insight on players and finance
  • (fill in your opinion)
Have we seen it all yet and shall we laugh or cry?
 
Not as normal than what was normal before, it seems to me to have been taken to a higher level this summer...
 
I think this summer has been incredibly mellow. I expected more opposition to the Dalglish sacking and for it to be more intense, but I'm glad it wasn't. Right now there isn't too much to moan about; we're a bit skint and we're trying to sort the squad out as best we can.

There is definitely hostility towards Daglish's clusterfuck of signings and it does go too far at times, but I understand why it does. When you think what we could have done with the money is makes my head hurt. I'm sorry to say that Dalglish and Comolli have damaged an already flawed club and we now have many wrongs to right, but Rodgers seems a tough, resilient character who is full of self-belief. I believe in him.

I think the enmity and opposition party/parties here are hang overs from Dalglish's sacking. The moaning on being skint after having misspent and hence a bad squad are inter connected. But the over the top trolling are excessive or is it a deliberate British dry humour to make us laugh?

Yet we've still only made one signing. I trust Rodgers! For now!

I do think though that his signings may be more like the early Rafa signings (relatively unknowns like Alonso, Garcia etc) when we do pick up pace in the window! A lot of folk seem to think we have money to burn. All about market value with this chap I'd say, which was probably talked about for 80% of his interview!

The two bolded points highlight the highs and the lows of the summer for me and theyre both related. Kennys sacking had to be followed up with a great appointment or an appointment that would make the fans step back and take breath. We got the later, Rodgers given time could be what the club needs. He's breathe of fresh air no doubt. Instantly the academy has seen input into first team games even more so than Kenny gave it. Rodgers is definitely his own man when it comes to decisions. And you're right when you say he's resilient, he'll live and die by his own sword and I think we'll all come to respect him for it. I doubt we'll be the finished article straight away but I hope by christmas we'll be battering teams at Anfield. I'd happily take fifth in the league this coming season if everything looked like it was heading in the right direction. Not like last seasons clusterfuck of thinking the cups are more important.

Edit: Ha, word of the day, Clusterfuck!

I don't see why that's deemed special. Most managers do that. Hodgson did it. That's partly why he's disliked - because he always DOES live or die by his own sword. No respect followed it. I didn't notice any people saying, 'Oh well, at least he did it his way...'

Hodgson did in his fuck! He had his tongue up hicks and gillettes respective arses from day one. Rodgers in his unveiling cut across Ian Ayre to tell the press in no uncertain terms would he be working under a dof or whatever way it was put. He's straight out of the mourinho school of managers. I expect over the course of the season we'll see Rodgers take the blame for his players mishaps on the pitch. Hodgson......did he fuck! He lived by his 442, thats about all he did!
 
Even bringing Hodgson into it misses the point. Hodgson was just happy to be here. He was in the twilight of his career and fuck knows how he got the job, fuck knows how he got the england job! Rodgers is a completely different kettle of fish. I don't know how to call him, but that in itself is exciting to me!
 
I think we should all sit back and be happy and just trust an organisation that's got pretty much everything wrong for the last 4 years.

That's what a real fan would do.
 
Well we have just come eighth, sacked a legend, bought one player so far and I've never heard of him, and managed to devalue our record signing to a massive extent. There are going to a be a lot of points of view on all that. I mean in any bar in Liverpool if you see one guy say to another 'what do you think of the reds this year then?' The answer is one of 'it's fucking mad isn't it?' or 'what the fuck is going on there?' or 'fucked if I know but it's depressing' or something of that ilk. I'd say on balance it's more positive on here than it is in those conversations.

I'd rather trust them than your selflearned interweb financial knowledge.

There have been some massive mistakes but we're on the right track now. People can call the club retarded or discuss how poor we are in the transfer market for all I care. But unfortunatly for Henry and co they're paying for most of our old fun. Some Not very talented players with high wages. Last summer was also a total fiasco but the people involved in that are gone.

The acadamy is in great shape, we're doing the neccessary cleaning up re wage bill and are reluctant to overpay for players. A young talented manager that, if given time, can be a great success.

So if peope just gave them some time, took a deep breath and not moan about every little thing. We might see some improvement on the pitch this season. The negativity is boring and repetitive, but some just love to moan. Could be a cultural thing for all that I know.

Bingo!! You just might be right. If it is not the weather there will be something else. That my friend could just be the answer to SCM's strange goings on.

Don't forget:
  • Giving us their fantastic blueprints for selling players once they become good.
  • Telling us about Aquilani in any thread that mentions, well, anything.
  • Slating the manager for not picking our superstar reserve players for one friendly and thus deciding it's the same old shit
  • Taking the negative points from any article as being the obvious truth, while ignoring the positive points as hapless conjecture.

Hmmmm... we've spent alot of money aswell, it's not entirely their fault it's been spent poorly. Obviously they're not as fantastic as the wrongly maligned Texan duo, eh Ross?

It's endearing to always see you fight the cause of the villain in the piece while mocking what assets we do have. Good preparation for future practices eh?

Good shout!
 
Hansern stick to copying and pasting bullshit from twitter, it suits you better. As for my 'self learned' knowledge, well that's just another instance of you being wrong, nothing new there. You're a typical clueless football fan who has no idea what makes football clubs successful, but don't worry you aren't alone.

It's the most obvious thing in the world, but the one thing that has consistently seen Premiership teams improve their league position is increases in wage bills and transfer spending. Look at United, Chelsea, Man City. To a lesser extent look at Sunderland, Spurs, Villa and Stoke.

So, given FFP rules, our bloated wage bill and the possibility that future significant revenue growth is unlikely absent regular CL football - there appear to be two options:

Hope the limited funds we have available and a new manager are enough to see us in the CL regularly, which has failed a couple of times already and compounded our financial situation.

Or accept our squad is poor despite the money spent on it, gut it, raise as much funds as possible, lower the wage bill as much as possible, accept another couple of years of shite in the knowledge that when we increase our spending again we'll shoot up the table and if we get our decisions right we'll win the league.

You might note option two was my preferred option when Hodgson took over, and I said at the time was the advantage would be that with more financial flexibility we could pick up players for nothing from the multitude of teams that will struggle with FFP. And that I felt we would be shite even if we took option 1.

Looks like self learned Internet knowledge won out again, and it will be the same in two years time. But I tell you what, you put your faith in bright young managers and proven Premierahip players and we'll revisit this in two years time, at which point you can apologise for being stupidly wrong again.

Both sets of owners felt we could make the CL, they were both wrong. That led to the compounding of our situation. FSG haven't got a thing right with the Red Sox in the past couple of years either

Or we can just say, "what a shite two years it's been, we bought the wrong players".

No doubt though, it'll be blamed on what good players we do have, because, if they were that good, they'd make up for the other 5 players in the side that just aren't up to scratch.
 
Don't be bigging yourself up too much Rosco. I remember when you were arguing that we shouldn't be offering Agger a new contract back when Rafa was in charge.
