yeah its just a preseason thing that picks up when the squad report back for training in melwood and then it follows them on a tour of north america and will be done before the league campaign starts.its a 6 part series.
it would be insane if it was for the whole season as like you said if things didnt improve it could be a disaster.it would also heap way too much pressure on the players and for that reason im glad its short.
74 though was just a little before my time but i can remember my old lad on about it some years ago and if i remember correctly it was something to do with him showing up at training  and was seen to be undermining paisley?.i could grab the illustrated history and see whats in it but ill wait to pick his brain over sunday lunch.
he loves when i ask him stuff like that and will probably make his day.

The whole concept is very anti Liverpool, a big shift from quite an old school
behind closed doors approach by todays standards even now, to this where every
move is recorded.

That was my first thought. Seems very anti the Liverpool Way to lay bare the inner workings of the club to all and sundry. A typical yank thing to do, though. I reckon if previous owners had sanctioned such a move there would have beenmurder but seeing as everybody's in a much more positive mood these days, its likely to be accepted by the majority of supporters.

The club needs to wake up to survive, what better way to make people more acountable than to put  camera in their faces? Good move, lets see those players who don't earn their keep have to explain to the cameras why they played *****.

Well done the owners and bucks into the bank. We'll pay for that stadium yet!

actually what happened at united played a big part in the thinking of the liverpool board back then.
when busby was moved upstairs at united the new managers that came in found it almost impossible to work in his shadow, busby often went down to the training ground and undermined the new man, thats why they went through so many managers in a short space of time (frank o farrell, wilf mcguinness, busby himself and tommy docherty). players like george best often went above the managers head to busby if he fell out with the manager.
in the end chaos reigned at old trafford with no one knowing who was in charge and just 5/6 years after being champions of england and champions of europe united ended up being relegated. they only just escaped being relegated the season before.
united went down about the same time as shankly retired, the liverpool board had watched from afar what had been going on at the other end of the east lancs road and when shankly started to turn up to training at melwood alarm bells started to ring in the corridors of power at anfield. they must have thought if it can happen at united it can happen here.
busby and shankly werent ordinary men, they were colossal figures within the game and no manager could have worked with those giants at the training ground. the players would have just gravitated to them, not to the manager.

Not quite sure what the fuss is about this documentary when BBC did one on Kenny when he was manager first time round showing inside the dressing room and Paisley being there giving him a pep talk.

It shown stuff like Kenny walking with his wife and kids down the beach and stuff like that. That was in the mid to late 80's so I very much doubt Kenny will have an issue with it providing that training methods are censored.

i hope if there`s any footage of kenny`s departure or discussions surrounding his departure from the club they wont include it in the documentary.
lets not forget that man was arguably the best player in our history
in the wake of heysel (and out of a sense of loyalty) he accepted the mangers job here when it was the biggest poison challice in the history of not just football but sport in general
then he guided the club through the hillsborough disaster and made sure there were LFC players at every funeral and attended loads himself, including 4 in one day.
i dont particularly want to see footage of a load of suits sitting around a table saying he just isnt good enough he has to go.
he deserves better than that.

Nah I think you have been watching to much of the apprentice

Nah I think you have been watching to much of the apprentice

well apparently the crew have been at melwood for weeks now and apparently the documentaries they have made in the past about u.s sport are quite cutting edge

It would make great TV!
Just as the documentary starts the manager (who just happens to be the greatest player the club has ever had) has been sacked.
The owners start a world wide search for the successor, like the scarlett ohara saga...
What drama! What conflict!

7_Kewell will have tears of joy watching them sank Kenny and then seeing him walk out of Melwood with his belongings in a box

he does appear to be pretty pleased with himself.

They showed that at halftime of yesterday's game, looks awesome.  The HBO team always does a great job and even though they are doing this for Fox it doesn't look like they are going away from their best work from the 24/7 series.
