They're from foreign parts, don'tcha know. And they like baseball.
We'll be signing Snoogy Doogy next. We should be protesting.
The irony is that Liverpool as a City and as a club has always been incredibly welcoming to people from other countries. Early in our history we had a team virtually full of Scots, we embraced managers like Shanks, Ged and Houllier. You look at our iconic players the ones we have taken top heart and they are as likely to come from Salto, Dalmanarock or Townhill as they are from Speke, the dingle or Toxteth.
It simply doesn't matter where people are from let's face it when H&G's rhetoric matched our ambitions they were welcomed with open arms. FSG's problem for me is that whilst they are excellent businessmen their aims and ambitions simply don't match up to ours.
They have no love of the Club, the City or even football itself. let's face it they don't even bother to show up for games. For me we have to rewind and remind ourselves why they are here. They are here because Moores realised that he didn't have the resources to match the ambitions of the Club, it's players and most of all the fans. For me because of how horrendous H&G were and how much trouble they put us in financially we lowered our expectations and standards and settled for owners with no love of the Club and no ambition to follow the age old mantra that the club exists to win trophies.
We now settle for absolute garbage like they are good owners because they let the Club reinvest the money the CLUB earns. Well guess what the list of Clubs that generates money and pays it's shareholders is about as thin as Fordy's back catalogue of posts criticising Charlie Adam. The vast majority of Clubs dont just have that they also have owners or put a bob or two of their own money in.
The other classic is that football has changed and that we have to acknowledge that we are no longer one of the big boys. Strangely enough when our esteemed owners go hawking the brand around the world earning sponsorship deals they have a strange bout of amnesia and mistakenly describe us in a completely different way and hold out for massive commercial deals.
We can either keep making excuses for FSG and come out with claptrap like if we are patient it might be our turn one day or we tell them to stop taking the piss and start acting like this huge brand that is comfortably within the ten richest clubs in the world. For me RAWK is at it's best when it is using it's powerful voice to unite the fan base and to stand up for the Club that we all love not as some middle class hoity toity debating society.
When did it become okay to concede a game against Madrid, when did it become okay to take Gerrard off at Stamford Bridge so those moron plastic flag waving gobshites come give him an ovation and when did it become okay to allow teams like Palace and Stoke to walk all over us.
There is something very wrong at the Club we have become soft like the clubs we used to mock in the 70's or 80's. We can either make flowery well reasoned debates about how it will be our turn soon or we can start holding the owners to account and demand that they start living up to the motto that we exist to win trophies.
For me the reason for negativity is that negativity is what sets in when you have no one driving the Club forward when you have no one rallying the troops and no one at the top refusing to accept being 2nd best. Most of all stop making excuses about not being able to compete and show hunger, desire and ambition to do everything we can humanely do to knock the bastards off their perches.
