The fact they have a tour in Boston in the summer does not mean a thing. It can be cancelled at a moments notice and even if they were sold it could still go ahead. I dont think they are planning to sell up next week but the lack of activity suggests they are sitting on the fence keeping options open. Wheras Liverpool football club needs help NOW even if its just a newapaper interview setting out the vision for the club. I feel the lacl of direction is also hitting the on field performances if we had more forward direction it may motivate the players more rather than the suspended animation we find ourselves in now.

There was a time when owners who kept a low profile was considered a good thing. However, you would think that, after 15 months, there would have been some progress regarding a new/redeveloped stadium.

Low profile from owners is one thing under success and another thing under failure IMO.

cut the owners some slack

how could you not give kenny the job after the way the side performed since he took over in his temporary role last season? you'd have to be a retard not to offer him the job!

the owners have also spent good money players since their arrival. they haven't been shy in the transfer market at all.

but imo the issue is that we've payed too heavily for potential, rather than investing in proven quality. we're relying on the likes of carroll, downing and henderson to eventually become star players. until thy impove we won't get any better

also we're very unfortunate not to have suarez and lucas available at the moment they are 2 of our most important players.

just don't see why all of a sudden some fans are calling for kennys head and looking to point the finger at whoever they can after one draw at home to a difficult side to play against in the form of stoke city.

Peter Robinson and John Smith always did the deals behind closed doors however we live in a different world now that was 30 to 40 years ago. But that was transfer activity regarding the club they always involved the fans. Fenway made a lot of noise about fan involvement but I don't hear much of that. There mas been some recent noise about the naming rights and sponsorship for a move to stanley park. But otherwise total silence the point I am making is some light at the end of the tunnel could lift the club. They don't need to go into specifics just a long term vision would help even if its flowery stuff. The silence is just adding to the speculation that they are just speculators. Liverpool FC is a dymanic business in a very ruthless market. Every month we stand still is slowing moving us away from our rivals. To start action in 3 to 4 years will be too late particularly as on field we are not pulling up too many trees and 6th or 7th looks likely baring some dramatic changes. So I am sorry I dont agree with you this is a time for postive action not fence sitting.

I'm not calling for his head yet, but something will have to happen and really soon now.


But daaah! It's 7 draws at home so far now this season, against Sunderland, Manure, Norwich, Swansea, Citeh, Blackburn and Stoke.

yea and we haven't played badly in probably 5/6 out of those 7 draws imo in fact we've been the better side in most. we have hit the post countless times, haven't had too much luck with penalties either and the majority of our players just need to find their scoring boots.

but how can that be blamed on the owners? they've done their bit imo and backed the manager with funds. they have a long term strategy not an over night one.

at the end of the day we're slowly improving imo and this time last year we had a lot worse issues than we do now. the manager has sold the majority of dead wood and brought in arguably the best players available to us without European football.

people can slate him for his tactics against stoke at home, but when you actually think about it we don't have a defensive midfield player available. how poor did we look when spearing came off against city? we need someone who can sit back in midfield and allow others the freedom to move forward and with lucas and spearing out we don't have any options

Want 3d you need to go back and read the orginal post. I did not say its the owners fault for us hitting the post or whatever. However in general terms the lack of strategy and progression must be infuencing things on the field. I believe some form of statement of vision is required from the owners not on the team but the club and where the owners see the club going if indeed they see it going anywhere.
