because we are Liverpool and we are supposed to be great arnt we??
thats the problem we dont move with the times and try to be better , we wallow in the past
We were great back then because we were led by men that didint stand still, the club was hungry for more and it ran from top to bottom
there is a disconnect between your second and third line though....fans wallow in the past because that is what we do.....we are not making decisions and running the club, but we are demanding basically the standards that we hark back to (and one of the things I recall from years gone by is how many moaners there were at the matches in the 'glory days'
ultimately, there are good things being done at the club, the ground development, reduced debt, the improved commercial deals etc., but do we all believe that the club is well run from top to bottom? what are we doing that is different or better? how are we improving our lot and overcoming the barriers that appear to bar our way to success? are we improving as the owner's learn?
there are plenty of posters who provide a good case for the owners and provide good insight, and there are plenty of dissenters, some well informed, some not.......but to be honest the OP struck me as a bit self-indulgent itself, whingeing about the whingers, complaining about people today, etc when that is precisely the point you make that is relevant, you get nowhere complaining about the environment you operate in, as it does not change having to work within that environment......you just have to work how best to succeed within it, and the question should always be, are we doing that?
but that does not mean we don't support. sometimes it seems as though people enjoy the moaning and that is what they are in for. but is that the case? some people will get off on it. some will want to appear smart, or to be seen bucking the trend. but mostly they are just venting. hence how easy it is to find contrary posts by so many posters, supportive when we are doing well and critical when we are not. but forums allow points of view to get polarised and seem more extreme.....I have said it before, forums are like after-match pub discussions, except you do not have your mates looking at you and listening to what you say, so what you say does not bounce back to you, so there is no internal moderator - bullshit alarm - and consequently extremes develop as each thread grows and views become polarised.
my advice - get over it everyone, disagreements will occur, ignore the wums, and the people you disagree with, and those who you think pick arguments for the sake of picking arguments. and enjoy the really good posters (positive and negative). we all support libpool, no mater what anyone says.
