When LFC were great was it down to the Moores family or Shanks and the Boot Room ? Of course it was down to Shankly, Paisley et al.
There are not huge numbers of multi-billionaires queuing up outside the Shankly gates desparate pump in 1 billion plus to buy the club, Mourinho, players and a new stadium - and then get slammed by the fans if we don't win CL & Prem in the first season. In fact, I would be suprised if there is one person in the world who would do this. It is NOT going to happen and fans need to get real.
The biggest myth of all is the new stadium idea. A shiny new stadium has really helped Arsenal hasn't it ?? If we spent 500 mill on a new 60,000 seater ground we'd be looking at an extra 600k revenue per match - it would take about 40 years just to pay back the investment.
FSG have made shedloads of mistakes, particularly with regards transfers and being absent owners - they need to get someone over here and get control of the club asap. We need to buy the right players - if someone is going to improve our team and we can get them then we sign them - it doesn't matter if they're 46 or 16.
I generally think the fans are desperate to be patient with a manager, and given the right man they will be - but we need to see a bit light at the end of the tunnel, some glimmer of hope that by sticking with their man we will get there. I've seen very little from BR to give that hope. That glimmer could be their past acheivements, thumping Utd Old Trafford, signing another Alonso, a real challenge for 4th. Most importantly of all though that patience has got to come from all corners of the club and is backed by real (financial) support from the owners.
