His love and dedication to our club has never been in question yet all we seem to value is his bank balance. He has consistantly made funds avaialable to the managers, has never made knee-jerk decisions and has always given the manager time and confidence ( Have you ever heard a chairman back a manager in the way he backed GH).
Also he has acted as a fan in his decision making over the years. He continued the boot room legacy in his early years in office thus keeping with our fantastic tradition, then he tried to freshen things up with Souness who at the time was the obviuos chice due to his history with us and he sucess at Rangers. Again he allowed Souness to do it his way and unfortunatly his methods didnt work but again turned to the boot room philosphy for his next appointmnet that of Evans. We may have been surprised but at the time we as Liverpool fans knew no better our History dictated our staff but in the rise of the premiership our past was no longer enough. Ok now we can look back we can see that Evans brought us good football and saw the emergence of a succesion of home grown players many of whom went on to consistant England careers. Again looking back we would have had more champs leagues games with Evans than GH if the rules for qualification was the same then, however we never looked like title contenders.Then when it became clear that we were continuing to fall behind and with the influx of Foriegn players and influence Moores had the nuts to change things forever. To take that responsibility on with all the talk our our past was an immense decision and whilst GH never landed us the title he did make us possible candidates and got us back winning trophies at home and in Europe. We got our respect back and have strong enough creditionals to bring in a manager of the standing of Rafa. Moores imo makes our managers job one of the best around for all the reasons I mentioned earlier.
Do our fans really want our club to be another Chelsea? I love football as a sport not because we have a chairman who can buy anyone. And I love Livepool because at a time when money talks we still have many a link with the beautiful game.
We have plans for a new stadium which will propel us into a new financial zone and we look to have a manager who can spend his money wisely if given time.
I know mistakes have been made and he should have got rid of Gh earlier ut who didnt believe that Gh could bring us the title? Up until his last season I did for one and if your honest with yourself how long has it been since you truely believed that. Yes our club may have struggled with the change in football but we will get there and we will do it the Liverool way. So when your next talking about who should invest this or that into our club remember the guy we have alraedy and what he has done for the club. Unless the new people can prove they care for the club in the same way and can demonstrate they have us as fans, the players and success on the pitch as their top priorities then I would rather stick with what we have got. I dont want us too become a manager changing club every 12 months or a team full of mercenairies. Remember we have a very special club known around the world for its legends and myth. Sometimes the need to maintain your heart and soul is more important than money.
