Now I don't agree with Tom Hicks very often and didn't in this case, it was a laughable statement, given what he had done to us over the years.
However if he said this about our fanbase now - I think he'd have a point.
No doubt it was fine emailing journalists, posting banners, contacting SSN, getting Hicks Junior sacked - when Hicks and Gillett were miliing our great club.
However these campaigns don't seem to have stopped and now - the focus has simply gone from the owners to the manager. It seems a large percentage of our fans think it is OK to email journalists, post on John Henry's twitter account, boo the manager, chant for Dalglish - undermining the manager.
Now this is not the Liverpool Way, from what I know. We are behaving like Newcastle fans, causing uproars whenever we don't get our way. What next, give Dalglish the job and then move the focus onto him? Ofcourse that won't happen, but the point is we should be better than this. Some of the abuse on John Henry's twitter account is ridiculous, infact he should remove it or block these individuals. They are making our fanbase look irrational, abusive, thoughtless and it just drags our club down.
I am all for wanting Hodgson out. But the results and performance will take care of this and the owners will read the reports in the papers, posts on forums, comments on phone ins and realise he is not the right man - they know this, but probably can't get the right man yet, if known.
But our fanbase really need to take a long, hard look at themselves and stop these divides amongst fans, stop emailing journalists, stop posting abuse on Aldridge or Henry's twitter accounts, stop booing the manager or team.. otherwise whoever takes over will have no chance with the fans acting this way.
We need to get back to supporting the manager, getting 100% behind the team and back to The Liverpool Way, something the whole club has lost from fans, to players, to owners.
