I fall into that catergory of telling the Chavs and the Mancs about the way they sold out. I also said Liverpool would never sell their soul the way Chelsea have done, and I bet a lot of Scousers would fall into the same catergory as me.
The fact of the matter is I cannot "worm" myself out of this one. Instead take a deep breath and face the accusations head on, like I dont give a f.uck. Most of our rivals if not all will be laughing at us, 'the traditionalists of the game', 'the club with all the success and history'. And now you've gone and cloned yourself to be a carbon copy of the Mancs, they say. I/we cant hide from the fact that what has happened in recent days has made us look hypocritical to say the least.
The Chelsea fans got it, the Mancs got it and now its our turn to take the brunt of whats to come.
My only consolation of an answer to this sure to be asked question, 'Whats your view on the, takeover?'
Is, We didnt start the trend of making football a rich mans business. Yes we've followed suite, looking at the broader view of things we've had too. Chelsea and the Mancs have pulled away from the rest of us (premiership teams). Not only on the field but finacially too.The facts are there, finance does improve results on the field. Look at Chelsea, they were nothing before the Russian came along, absolutely nothing. But look where Abrahamovich hasnt taken them, two league titles in two years.
I like most fans are, I'm optimistic about this new era, but sad at the same time. Sad in the fact that we've had to sell the most prestigous club in English football to keep up with the likes of others. Sad for David Moores a living legend and a life-time supporter who's had to sell off his share in order to help Liverpool move on. Sad mainly because it doesnt seem the Liverpool way. But its time to be optimistic now, look forward but at the same time never forget where we've come from as a club. Bite the bullet, take the stick off of our rivals, it'll soon pass. Hopefully things will get really interesting back on the field, next year. If Rafa is given money to spend he must surely spend well. Mouriniho has done it, Fergie has done it. Well Fergie may of not spent well but the league title is looming towards Old toilet anyhow. Like Liverpool have followed suit in the takeover trade Benitez has got to do the same on the football side of things and take us back where we belong.
As for being labelled hypocrites and anything else thats bound to pi$$ me off my real only other answer to all that is to
the Bitters, the Mancs the Chavs any other fuc.king rival who wishes to take the p.iss, this is for you.
Looking to the future YNWA
