Waiting to see Ian Ayre in the new show The Young Coach when 16 managers are whittled down to the one in a series of tests like can you bullshit the fans the winner has the job for a year. Ian will be assisted by Barry Fry and Paul Merson as they look for the next coach for the club!

The theme from Rawhide always makes me think of this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdR6MN2jKYs


In turn it always reminds me of a mate I used to stand on the Kop with. He was short & fat and one of his heros was John Belushi. He died years ago but fuck knows what he'd make of all the shite around our club at the moment.

Is that really meant to be a Liverbird as it's more like a Griffin?
In fact here's a clipart that looks similar....


Wouldn't surprise me if whoever designed it had never heard of the Liverbird and just assumed it was a Griffin and did a Google image search. There's quite a few that resemble it.

If this is the case, it's a very poor show.
Was it really meant to be a serious post... come on, man. Get with the plan. It was a bit of that aul Scouse sarcasm.

I swore I wasn't going to have nothing to do with this today. I'm not letting meself get sucked in any more, but look at this...

Not even winning the FA cup would have saved Kenny. Who the fuck, are these people. Cheeky fucking bastards. I hate them. They will destroy this club, in what they think is progress. They will arse lick the likes of Stan fucking Collymoore and the Govan Tramp to kingdom come and dance on everything we stand for.

They left Kenny hanging out to dry during the Suarez debacle. I think his fate was sealed then. They agree with Jamie Carragher, nobody likes us. We have to put an end to that. We need to be more media friendly.
It's gone to fucking hell in a hand bag. We're a laughing stock and not even a shadow of what we once were... Welcome to The New Anfield, same as the old Anfield in only bricks and mortar, the one thing they promised to change.

Mark my words, they will do everything they think will make Liverpool media friendly and liked by nuetrals, in a bid to make it as saleable as possible and they'll be off. I'm glad of that. I'll rejoice the day they go, but they'll destroy everything before they do... lizards, indeed.

You got me well and truly there.

Trouble is, it's just the sort of thing I'd kind of expect from this 'new' setup.

Sadly nothing in that interview surprises me, as for Ayres I always had my concerns about him. Another one who was there all the way through the Rafa business. I do wonder how he can sleep though, he knows damn well he should of done more to back up Kenny.

On a wider issue, now that we have offically become a Champions League only team, is there really any point in fans attending the cup games? Suspect the manager will be told to load it up with nothing but youngsters, and if we lose to Hereford United, well who cares it's only the league cup, and when has that ever mattered to this club?

I don't know, you're not that off the ball this morning. That is bang on. It's like they've read the TalksShite manual... running an English football club for dummies, and thought it was the gospel.

I worked for a hugely rich man in California. You can google him, Eric Kavli. I knew such wealth existed but I'd never been anywhere near it. It was disgusting, and all he wanted was more, more, more. The greed was mind boggling. I used to call him Mr Burns, after the geezer in the Simpsons. It wasn't that far off. He was an absolute prick and everything in this world was wrong because of them greedy bastards, the working poor.

He'd have eat your first born for five minutes more life, but when he knew there wasn't much time left, he started giving his dough away. It made him look like some big philanthropist. It was fuck all of the kind. He never gave it to good causes. He gave it to science - the feild he'd made his dough in, as a way of prolonging his legend. I have never met a more horrible shite in me life.

This situation really isn't anything to do with Americans. I hope we don't turn on them. I like ordinary working American people. They are some of the nicest, friendliest, most hospitable people I've ever known. The rich are the rich the world over. Henry couldn't give a fuck about this club or anything else. He's not even interested in money. This is about ego and wanting to be in the limelight. He wants to stroll around Anfield with a turd in he's mouth, showing everyone how great he is. It's Purslow all over again. He thinks he knows how to run the show, and he'll damn well show us while he's at it. David Moores has an awful lot to answer for.

Well folks maybe our game (the one WE used to love) is starting its slow decline into oblivion eh? The game that brought all of us together in a great common cause - talking abouit the game of FOOTBALL not club now - is thrashing around in its death throes and it seems that today's mainstream support doesn't see what most of us see. A bit sad of itself that imo.
It's a bit like Doctor Who going through one of his change manifestations.

It'll take more than fucking Time Lords to save our well and truly fucked up game let me tell you.
There is nothing wrong with striving to win, so long as you don't set the prize above the game. There can be no dishonour in defeat. What matters above all is that the team plays in the right spirit, with the utmost skill, courage, fair play and no favour, and the result accepted without bitterness or conceit.

Johno, I just sent a mate of mine this in a PM. Having read your comment, I've decided to post it in here...

It's called marketing. It's business, football as ran by Simon Cowell. I made a comment in the Fenway thread. So, did John Mac. One fella commented "Get out of this thread, twat," to John Mac. I was disgusted. That lad's going there, spending he's hard earned to support these wankers. They were a bit more polite to me. I've got a reputation on RAWK that I don't really deserve. All I done was a bit of rable rousing. But I was still told to fuck off even it was in a more polite manner. They've taken over mate. The club never gave a shite about us, even in the good old days. But they actually want rid of us now. We are just aul dinosaurs who get in the way of their vision of the global entertainment industry.

Me aul fella fought for the Labour Party all his life. He was the leader of the Liverpool Communist Party for many years, but he always fought for Labour. He thought they were watered down wankers, but our only real voice. He pulled his tripes out for them. He was a Labour Councillor in Kirkby for many years. When Blair and that Cool Brittania mob took over, they couldn't fuck him off quick enough. What's happening to the club, is no different... you are just in their way, mate.

Up to you, but meself... I'm giving up. I'm finding something better to do with me time. Fuck them. I want no part of it. I'll come on here, but I'll never go to another match while this is the way of things. I couldn't support them with my dough. There'll be no Warrior kits or Lebron trainees for my grandkids. They can fuck right off.   

*************************
I was going to doctor that, and cut bits out. Sorry John, I was going to cut that bit, but I thought it should be seen. Because that's the truth of it. Shitehawks have taken over our game and now our club. They don't actually go the match, but the people who do week in, week out, and have done all their lives are just in the way now. They're nothing but pests standing in the way of progress.

It's a woeful state of affairs, but that's the truth of it.

H&G showed their faces at Anfield more than John Henry. He hasn't even had the decency to go to the memorial service. Don't be surprised when he announces we are playing on the 15th of May, because it's about time we got away from all that maudlin self-pity and joined the real world. He'll want to please the likes of Steve Cohen and Alan Davies. The rest of us can fuck off and hold our own service elsewhere. Anfield belongs to them, not us.

It's not like the old days anymore, a local guy owning a club and running it for love and as a form of community support.

To FSG, this is just an investment, and these guys are fanatical about getting returns and getting them quickly. They make H&G look like amateurs but as far as I can see are cut from the same corporate greed cloth as far as their objectives are concerned.

They pretty much follow the plan preached by Seth Klarman, who is one of the FSG men.

They buy cheap and undervalued and their sole objective is to tart things up and then sell high. And that's their objective. Nothing else.

Unless it impacts on their projected profitability, they don't really give a shit about Anfield or Liverpool or the people who have devoted their lives to following and supporting the club.

As for Ayre, he gives me the impression of a very ambitious fly by night lackey coated in teflon who has developed a fine skill of self preservation by shifting responsibility and has now hit pay dirt and will do anything to please his bosses. He currently seems to have got his tongue so far up FSG's arses it's sticking out of their mouths. In 10 years time, possibly less, I imagine he'll be in the US running hedge funds or some similar scheme.

And by then, I'd lay money on it even though I'm not a betting man, we'll even probably still be at Anfield (which is not such a bad thing).

It's all very depressing. I guess they don't need or even want us old fellows anymore.

I'm going lad. Had the tickets for months. I've seen him loads of times. Never seen a bad show by the lad. I'm even staying sober for this one.

Seen him about 30 odd times myself Leo, couple of years ago in Philharmonic was brilliant, right back to Stiffs in the empire and matinee's in Erics. Still don't want to stay sober though.

I'm off into town after work again, Sound City stuff is fucken excellent, town was absolutely bouncing last night, saw about 7 or 8 acts, some excellent, some not so, but a great night. Hope tonight's as good.

interesting summary GS and I suspect pretty much on the money...wouldnt surprise me if they've already started courting DIC with an aim to sell high

very depressing as you say....cant be arsed with it all truth be told.... in fact If John Barnes, Rush, Kenny et al put their weight behind AFC Liverpool i'd be down there like a fuckin shot..as Im sure would a few others....the all new shiny plazzy ten-a-penny LFC leaves me stone cold

That's why I hate living here John. I can't leave, family and that. But I'd come home tomorrow, if I had my way. I don't even go the alehouse down here any more. They're crap. So, all I have is the odd show... oh, woe is me, eh.

I'm going to have to stay off them boards, I'm starting to savage people now. The fucking idiots. I make excuses usually for them, about how they've been conned by this society we have. And that's true in some cases, but most of them... fuckinell, do they get what they deserve. Stupid bastards.

Best show I ever seen him do... remember them kids toys, Mattel. They made little plassie pianos, guitars, drums and that. He was with the attractions. They done about 5 numbers on them instruments. It was hilarious and brilliant. I love the fella. I'm off me head. I'm taking him a pressie on Sunday, and I'm only 55.

They'll copy the structure of whoevers flavour of the Month, reading that ayre stuff, probably Barca and they'll be back to being football genius's with a master plan but they're taking the piss. Never thought we'd be copying the arl Bill Kenwright trick, Guardiola and Capello, Why not add Shankly and Paisley because they've got as much chance of being our new manager.

Maybe everyone gets to this eventually. 44 soon and maybe time to move on. Bollocks.

Hello Auld arses.
       ,                   I don't post on here these days, but felt the need to come on here to share my disgust with what has happened, with you guys. It has taken a couple of day's to sink in. Unlike Fat scouser and one or two others who were ahead of the game, I was shocked by what has happened and didn't see it coming. (maybe I just didn't want to believe it). Now that the insincere testimonials from our beloved owners are out of the way, the truth is slowly unravelling and it is obvious that Kenny's fate was sealed long ago. Does any body else get the feeling that Kenny's departure was stage managed for maximum viewing figures? They obviously knew he was going before allowing Fox T.V to start filming. Surely if they wanted to,they could have delayed the start of the filming by a couple of weeks. Maybe that is just me posting more 'american conspiracy theory nonsense'.
There is one thing that I do hope they have filmed. If the story is true, that Kenny refused to accept severance pay, and told them to stick it in the transfer fund, I would love to see John Henry's face. I would imagine a look of incomprehension, followed a few seconds later by a little smile, as the thought 'sucker' popped into his head.
I love reading you guys  this thread is like a flower floating on  sea of shit.
I wish I could still climb up the drain-pipe that used to be at the back of the toilet that was outside the kop.

Seriously thinking of gibbing my ST. Spend thousands on this bloody club every year. I'm totally skint. Have debts to pay off and the money would come in very handy.

Maybe everyone gets to this eventually. 44 soon and maybe time to move on. Bollocks.
Yeah Andy I feel exactly the same. Only thing stopping me is the thought that when (if) the tide turns and I've given up my ST I'll be gutted (not to mention bottom of the waiting list!

I said a while back on this thread that I had concerns with the new owners as JW Henry was an ex hedge fund manager and so of course is driven by the greed mentality and the chance to buy low and sell high. I'm not having a go at all investment people as I was one myself in the past  but not on his scale .

At the time I thought give the new owners the benefit of the doubt as surely it cant be as bad as the other pair?? surely we weren't going to fall twice for the spin but look what's happened? I keep hoping that they have a grand master plan and will buy" big" and re-instate Kenny to an ambassadorial role within the club but I'm probably being naive.

I also hate to admit that you have to kind of admire Fergie down the road as he appears to have got his way more or less with the running of his club and has the upper hand over the owners whereas Rafa & Kenny have been stabbed in the back.

As Pooley says I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Kenny told them to stick their severance pay- there is no doubt in my mind that they will have ever come across a response like that .

Finally whoever they take on as Manager will have to have eyes in the back of his head as you never know who is "Brutus" in that club. ??? :(

Know where you coming from but why should we. Andy it's still our club we've been going since we're kids.

I'm not sure it is, still our club, that is. Doesn't feel like it at the minute.

Problem is, it is us who allowed them to stab both Rafa and Kenny in the back, the stupid c*nts who claim they support this club have put us where we are- 4 managers in 2 years, its so fucken pathetic its untrue

Woah there - selling out is not exactly getting your own way -  champagne socialist tosser - Weetabix has nothing on United -  contrast and compare with Rafa and our two charlatans.

The new manager - well thats an interesting one - reptillian management stooge or a middle class Shankly for the new middle class game - whats the odds?

Yes this year I celebrate my 62 nd year as a LFC Supporter but is it our club anymore? I am starting to believe we have been shafted twice and the sad thing is I might not have the will or energy to fight for it anymore, now that I see the shite supporters we have, it's all gone, it's not ours anymore, so very sad.

What Fenway thread - can you give me the link - I'd like to be told to fuck off as well
That's a great piece you wrote in the Fenway thread, Vulmea.  It should get a much wider audience as I think it'll be wasted on most in there.

Been off work this week and so spent more time than I should on here and twitter, indeed I even ventured into the Official site briefly and I sense even as we speak a change of opinion with regards FSG and the way the whole thing has been handled.

The usual dickheads with an attention span of hours rather than days have already moved from their mock outrage at the way Kenny was treated to being rather excited at the prospect of a new manager. Many of those fans who make, or want to make a living from writing about the club have also started to question anyone who has remained emotional about what has gone on, especially on twitter, "get a grip" being the popular refrain. As with all good journalists, they have realised that not finding another angle means your profile drops from the all important spotlight, no matter that your initial reaction and response was the only right conclusion to the whole debacle.

Quite sad really, but only to be expected I suppose.

Maybe I'm getting out more than I was but... I'm noticing increase frustration with FSG. The Ayre interview in the Echo is NOT helping his cause either. At least one management refusal...
