Last chance saloon for Liverpool
The Reality
Its time for all Liverpool supporters to relies exactly where this famous club actually are when it comes to who are the powerhouses of English football, while winning cups may paper over the cracks the league sorts the men from the boys and sadly Liverpool are a way off.
Eighth place and 37 points off the winners Man City, thats over 12 wins in a season that has only 38 games says it all, Queens parks rangers just avoided relegation on 37 points so we would need all their points to challenge for the league, that is the reality.
Early on Alex Ferguson said that he would knock Liverpool off there perch, and the sad painful truth is he has. Liverpool cannot compete in the transfer market with the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea,Man City and even Tottenham in recent years and this is not going to change, the money is simply not there so Liverpool have to find other ways to bridge the gap.
When Kenny Dalglish was sacked i was saddened that such a great servant to this club ended in such a bad way and as a kid growing up idolized him as a player and a manager.I know what he means to every Liverpool fan. He helped stabilize Liverpool at a very bad moment in our history but i really think he could not take us to the next level.
FSG had to make a very brave and unpopular move and they did have to take it no matter what the fans reactions were, we cant live on history and fairy tales anymore.
The Hope
When Brenden Rodgers name was put forward on the list i had a little bit of football snobbery, i thought Brenden who? I, like all faithful Liverpool fans still think as Liverpool as a major European force so if it was not Pepe from Barca or Jose from Madrid they would not be good enough. But as the list got shorter and shorter curiosity got the better of me and i started to check out the managers on this shortlist. I already knew a good bit about Martinez but knew nothing about this Rodgers fella, who had been mentioned at the beginning but had straight away turned the job down. I listened to one of his interviews and i was sold.We cannot compete with the rich clubs so we have to do things differently. Fsg believe in the Moneyball system and Liverpools only chance of reclaiming the old glory days is to follow something like this and to do so we need a manager who is open to these ideas. Rodgers ideas and the moneyball system are not so apart. His philosophy is to buy players for his system and these are players who will not cost a huge amount of money. But what will be a big shock at Anfield is who does not fit into the Rodgers system.
There maybe major exits at Liverpool this summer and this season as Rodgers finds out who suits the new playing style and who does not.I am a big fan of Andy Carroll and i would love to see him fit into Rodgers plans but i just cant see him playing the type of football we need to start playing and this goes for other Livbrpool players too.
Brenden Rodgers in my opinion the best thing to happen to Liverpool fc in a long long time but it will take time for him to build a team that can play the way he wants at the level that we want.
Liverpool fans need to be realistic, we are on the verge of oblivion as a global club and we dont have the money to buy our way out, so the Rodgers way is the only real way we have to stay relevant, dont expect miracles overnight, but i believe if we give our support like normal and dont expect so much so quick, Champions League football is probably even out of our reach next year, thats how much we have fallen.
But if we back Rodgers looking at it as a long time project he will turn things around but it is a long long project, but probably the most important in the history of Liverpool Football Club
Everyday Brenden Rodgers looks up up from his office table and sees pictures of Shanks and Paisley looking down on him....he knows what is expected of him and he looks like he is up to the challenge, just give him time.
