Unfortunately it does sound like we are gonna be involved in a relegation dogfight next season

Weren't you defending hodgson all the way up until he got sacked

That takes some guts!

Its not guts. He's just simple.

Be careful about that though

In a crass and cynical PR exercise (which most fans fell for) Fernanda Torres wrote a book full of not so much mistruths but out-and-out lies about how the his philosophies reflect those of the club and all this other bullsh8t that his agent probably wrote for him, only to jump ship to Chelsea - whose vaklies couldn't be more opposite to ours - after 4 months of not playing in the champions league

Daglish is certainly a worthy successor to Shankly, and he obviously embodies the same spirit and togetherness, but the point i'm trying to make is that in today's world of mercenary, overpaid and overhyped footballers, it's naive to expect them to knuckle under the way they did during Shankly's era

If we restricted ourselves to buying players who reflect the club's values and traditions we won't be making many signings because despite their protestations unless they are from the area - Carragher, Gerrard )(most players see their jobs in the fom of a pay cheque

there are a few exceptions - and players like Dirk Kuyt and Pepe Reina - the latter of who was as disillisioned as the rest of us under Hodgson but has been re-inspired by Daglish -

you say liverpool don;'t but megastars for big money ands big wages

That's right - we seem to be targetting average players - who admitedly look as if they might have the potential - with big money and big wages

i just think it's quite a risky strategy and having a European set up with Comoli at the helm doesn't inspire me with confidence - although i'm the first to say that in stark contrast to their compatriots Hicks & Gillet, I genuinely think FSG are great custodians and along with Kenny we should be grateful we are nnot in the position were were 12 months ago

i just can't understand all these people who think we're going to win the league now - although i have no idea of the ages of those on these forums and i suspect there's quite a few teenagers and children

Expectation needs to be managed

I get what your saying Jim tomez! and yes i run the risk of sounding naive,as to the stuff torres and the like say in books etc there's no accounting for that,but all i know is that if you believe in our clubs traditions then you have to pass them on,in honour of our past people if nothing else,otherwise we may as well go support Everton,getting players from other parts to buy into this is a risk,but you can only try,plenty of players from other parts have been hooked by the passion as us fans have and plenty havent of course,why would we give up our past glories? no one else would hide it, after all everyone else is busting a gut to achieve exactly what have. I do agree tho not everyone seems to have the same passion!

I'm very passionate.
Just thought I'd slip that in like.

Ryan Giggs has nothing on you, growls.

Resident stud muffin with my sweet talkin' ey?
