Sorry about the video.
It was very funny then and is still very funny now.
Sums up the how much similar to feelings I feel, about the length time taken to make the decision. 




Absolutely brilliant!  :wellin Thank you for cheering me up this morning.

Thanks BLF.  Good post.

I'll try to address the things you brought up in your post one-by-one...
.
.
.
Anyway...  just my 2 cents...

Another fantastic post Johnny, thanks for that. Not a lot to argue with in there.

I quite agree with what you say about the owners not needing to know football and the experience that FSG have in successfully running sporting companies. I hadn't thought of it in quite those terms before but it's very true.

With regards to Roy's contract I recall Broughton saying that he had specifically negotiated a clause in Roy's contract that wouls allow any new owner to remove him easily and cheaply (http://www.soccernews.com/hodgson-has-release-clause-broughton/62845/ & http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=830526&sec=england&cc=5739). But I also recall Roy denying this. I know who I believe.....

Dammit. I'll try to be patient ... but it's so hard!

BTW .... I just read that the pre-match press conference has been cancelled ....  that makes me feel MUCH better! Come on FSG! You know what you need to do.

Money is whats needed. Money to payout Hodgson. Money to payout Villa Boas contract and bring him to Anfield. Money to buy new players. In the end, itll all come down to whether or not NESV are ready to invest to get some success. I think they will find money, but maybe they're just waiting for us to lose against ManU in the cup before acting. Thats it in a nutshell.

John - now we need big bucks investing in the squad.

The serious business begins now.It's great seeing Kenny back but I hope you dont ignore the problems we have with regards to our team.We're not good enough and yourself and Kenny can put it right.Lets gets Nando's head straight again and convince him that LFC are still one of the big boys.

Thankyou Mr Henry and the rest of you guys at FSG.

Listen now and hear the relief, the joy, the hope you've brought to thousands, hundreds of thousands of Liverpool fans with that simple decision.

Best for all concerned and a good call on your part.

From here on in its all FSG's doing. Good or bad they will stand or fall by the decisions they have made in the summer of 2012. Lets hope they have gotten it right.

Thank you for avoiding knee-jerk reactions, taking the time to properly evaluate the situation, and make a well-considered decision, behind closed doors. 

It bodes well for our future.  You'll now see 100% support at this club - like you've never experienced before.


And woe betide any fucker who dissents now.

Thank you John and Tom. Giving me an opportunity I thought I would never have. To see Kenny Dalglish sat in the dugout at Liverpool FC. I'm so happy.

As others have said Christian Purslow still being involved is a worry. Get shot of him.
