Pinched from The Rattle from Retro Red, all hypothetically of course "In my hypothetical situation, a once mighty club is in the hands of two leveraged buy-out merchants who are based in America and can't bear the sight or sound of each other. To compound matters, the banks they have borrowed from, and then burdened the club with the debt, have put the running of the club in the hands of their own nominees. Effectively the bank is running the club, with the sole objective of making sure it gets its money back. In this scenario, a money man gets to run a football club. Star struck, the diminutive money man, who hypothetically may resort to Cuban heels to add an inch or so in height, becomes a bit closer to his footballing heroes than, say, someone like Peter Robinson or John Smith would. This closeness is brought into sharp focus when said hypothetical Cuban heel wearer is publicly seen gleefully mouthing words, in the direction of hypothetical star player's entourage, to the effect that the hypothetical manager of the day will shortly be relieved of his duties. In short, Liverpool was a f***ing shambles. influential players can run amok when there's an absolute power vacuum. Many of us think Jamie Carragher did. The likes of Benitez, Arbeloa, Mascherano, Alonso, Torres, Reina & Agger may also have a view on the matter. Carragher has always been a payer I admired, one of my all time favourites. Unfortunately, his actions in the period since his contract came up for negotiation have left me completely disinterested in him, his opinions & his place in Liverpool FC's history. The day he goes won't be a day too soon."
