I think in not so many words he was saying that the Club belonged to the City and its people and he was a sort of custodian, which ofcorse he was right about, very clever man who came from such a modest background.

It belongs to John Henry now I'm afraid and at some point, you're going to have to get used to it and move on. It's a different game and we need to stop living in the past, it's what's caused our decline.

He was a great man, but I never forgave him for trying to swap Alonso for Barry.

Good post from faz and one thing I can tell you doubters liverpool FC is based in the city of Liverpool. Actually my favourite city in the uk and that's not because of Liverpool, FC. There's a buzz and culture about the place like no other. The history and architecture is second only to London and leaves Birmingham and Edinburgh standing. I was in Liverpool last night and the city has now left the image of the 80,s now full of top restaurants and new buildings its absolutely stunning.

Anyone who purports to support Liverpool, FC and who does not understand the city it's people and its culture has no right calling themselves a fan in my view.

And......

I am not a scouser

Forgot to say that's the point shanks was making which many of you missed.

I am sure shanks will be disappointed with the modern Liverpool FC but I am sure he is smiling at the modern Liverpool city.

fantastic post stanley, I think in this day and age people sometimes forget the Club belongs to the City and its people before anything else,they both go hand in hand and this is what Shanks was trying to put over, your right about the City being so vibrant now from the way it once was, was in town last nite, great nite as usual.
