its been a turning point alright,for the worse. We are not good enough,you all know it,everybody knows it.Does anybody seriously think this present team under houllier will win the premiership in may?if you do then your sadly deluded,if you dont then what does that say about the ambition of liverpool fc?. for a club the size of liverpool,one of the richest in the world,with potentially an almost unlimited worldwide fanbase to give up hope of winning the league at the beginning of october is catastrophic.there is no excuse for it.the team has gone backwards over the last two years,apart from some exceptions houlliers transfer record has been awful.we are rapidly becoming a club living on past glories,happy to polish our championships and european cups while missing out on present glories which are happening elsewere.to compete again we have to get ruthless,houllier must go(i think were still big enough to tempt almost any coach in the world),then we must be ruthless with the team,out with the mercenary foreigners who couldnt pick liverpool out on a map.eight of the first team should come from these islands with the rest the cream of world football who will play week in week out.big money on three world class players who are proven is an investment.look at madrid,they dont spend big money on foriegn reserves,they buy one world class player every season and play him every week.and yes we can afford it,we are the most famous club in the world,millions of people love this club for all sorts of reasons and we dont exploit that nearly enough.within ten years we can be richer than real and man u filling a 70,000 seat stadium,a proven manager,and a team of gifted commited british and irish players along with a couple of of world class contintentals.Then watch the trophies roll in
