The futures rosy, the futures Red.

[Dog]

We have had calls for Rafa to go.

We have regular slating of Moores and Parry.

Whatever deal is being offered up for the club is at first slagged off and then after weeks of spin, is then the best thing ever.

I think too many of you expect to have info fed to you at all times, especially where the club is concerned. I blame the media.

 

Obviously some of you here do not remember what it used to be like being an LFC supporter before the premiership was created.

The internal business workings of the club were never up for discussion. The transfers were done quietly.

The manager just got on with the job and did not have tons of boll*x to share with the press, media and anyone else who would listen. Players did not have much to say and if they did speak out of turn were punished.

 

I LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW.

 

Most of us old timers have been totally uninspired. It now feels like the old days returning.

It is nice that the press now struggles to get the lowdown on us.

Whatever you think of Moores and Parry, I think they are getting it right.

We have a manager that for once inspires future confidence. He also is canny with what he says and does.

The rebuilding of our team is actually happening and some of the signings are superb. Team players and not just individuals.

Cash investment will happen whoever takes over the club.

With the core of the club being strengthened from all angles, I believe that the future is positive.

 

I am sure i do not speak just for myself but as an old time fan, watching Rafa and the changes to the club. Not since the days of Keegan and Dalglish playing have I actually felt excited being a Red. We are definately on the up.

 

So, just for you negative b*stards, please stop your bloody whinging.

You can't speak to Kev like that, he owns the place.

Who has called for Rafa to go?

I think this is one of the more positive forums.

If you think this is bad, try TLW!

Well, Kev did say recently he had fallen out of love with Rafa - mind you, he was as pissed as a fart at the time...

So he did! I forgot that one - Ant should really hide his keyboard when his Dad has been on the pop!

Agree also. I've been a fan since the very early 70s and for the first time in nearly 20 years there is a sense of a once great club renewing itself. The Dalglish team of the late 80s was a wonderful side (the 87/88 is still probably the best attacking side I've seen play in the English game) but it was not defined by a sense of a great club being re-invigorated each year from within as was the case under Paisley or Shankly. Kenny built a great side and 'saved' a great club but somewhere along the line we lost sight of what made us the best side in Europe for so long.

 

Kenny is my all time favourite football player and he helped a club that could have been destroyed by Heysel find a focus and reason to exist. For that alone he deserves consideration as a key person in the history of the club. Similarly, he behaviour during Hillsborough stands as a credit to him and the values he represented and espoused. Perhaps the consequences of this meant that he could not continue to renew the club from within in a way that was characteristic of Paisley and Shankly. Definitely the task of doing so was beyond Souness, Evans and Houllier.

 

Now though Rafa, through a combination of intelligence, drive and ruthlessness, is re-establishing the core values that once made Liverpool great:

 

- A commitment to the team/club above all else

- A constant striving for perfection

- Humility and honesty

- A belief in'footballing intelligence'

 

Even though this has not been a great season (yet) watching the ways in which Kuyt, Agger, Carragher, Reina, Gerrard, Finnan and Alonso play makes me believe that the club is finally returning to the things that once made it great.

Good post man.

A bit unfair!

I post on TLW as well.

It's a very different forum BUT one that is often very, very funny with some excellent sharp witted posters.

Not all doom & gloom there (try Kev on here....later at night/early morning )

Agree on your whole post BUT particuarly about Agger-fantastic again on Saturday.
