The 'proper' supporter
- will prioritise success over anything
- will value a player/manager on what they add to the club
- won't prejudge individuals perceived as unfashionable
- against turning LFC from a football club into a business
- respects traditions, and wants LFC to be open to the local community
- wants to protect the long-term interests of the club
The 'recreational' supporter
- desperate for big name foreign signings
- always wants to see new young players regardless of the consequences
- will base their opinion of an individual on mainly superficial factors
- enjoys unnecessary controversy
- enjoy a high turnover of players
- often impatient and unwilling to accept gradual progression
- turn into football accountants on football forums
- only bothered about the short-term
Is this actually based on fact or just opinion? A bit childish isn't, it's the sort of list school kids come up with....
My opinion, and I don't think it is childish because I'm not differentiating between the fans and saying one group is better than the other.
There has been so much focus on the way football has changed yet no one hardly ever mentions how football fans have changed.
