Not that I care.
What I do care is my beloved club Liverpool falling apart. Gone were the days where they entered a season challenging for the title (last season was perhaps, closest). Now having a new non-executive chiarman in the club to help look for new buyers, it seems that there is renewed hope.
Ya. Renewed.
I use that word because all season, it has been about two cowboys who does not know where to place their horses. Well, partly Rafa was to be blamed, but heck, even he can't do much if those two wild-westerners don't know how to lead this club.
Ever since they came here, there has been nothing but trouble. From the beginning, when they first took over, it seems that Liverpool were to spend and challenge for major honours once more. They even had the design for the new stadium.
Guess what? Before any fan in the world knew it, the bank book in Liverpool's account has turned red (ironically, Liverpool's colour and nickname). You don't need a "-" sign to tell you they are in debt. They promised to cover the debt, and have the stadium plans go ahead. The following season, it's still red.
| Liverpool had to use the sales of Bellamy to bring in Torres; sell Alonso to bring in Aquilani (but that's 'cause the former wanted to leave). Did the money ever came from the owners? For Babel and Benayoun? Reina? Agger? Mascherano? Also, Liverpool suffered early hangovers: two defeats from the opening three games. At that time, you couldn't blame Rafa for still being optimistic. After all, it's still too early. Little did he know, that it would be a "foundation" of what's happening today. Up till date, Liverpool has lost 19 games (11 in the league, 1 each in FA and League Cup, 3 in Champions League, 3 in Europa League - all first leg). They still have Hull City tomorrow, which I do not really fancy Hull beating them, but anything's possible. Obviously, when something's cooking at the backroom, it's hard for the boys in red to concentrate on the pitch. Yes they ARE professionals (don't get me wrong), but there is also such a thing called psychological factor. Once the opponents know there's something not right, they'll take advantage, and Liverpool has been hit by many surprising defeats - Aston Villa, Tottenham, Fulham, and even Wigan. One thing's for sure: EVERY LIVERPOOL FAN in this world DEFINITELY wants both George Gillet and Tom Hicks to L.E.A.V.E. They are not doing Liverpool any good, bringing down the legacy that Bill Shankly took quite a while to build. Let's hope there will be a saving grace, and perhaps Liverpool can conquere Europe next season once more. Ps: A couple of positives from this season: the rise of reserve players (Spearing, Kelly, Darby, Pacheco, Eccleston, Insua, and hopefully next season, Nemeth), Lucas's ever improving style of playing, the steal of Soto and Maxi, and the return of Ryan Babel. Other than that, it's yet another trophy-less season. Wake me up when July ends. I don't really care about the World Cup. | ||
