Mate, I've been a Liverpool supporter since the day I was born, so don't lecture me on becoming "familiar with the Liverpool way". The Liverpool way for many years was to promote from within, and that's why we ended up with that joker Roy Evans as a manager!
Liverpool lost eleven matches last year, not two. We lost two back in 2008-09.
I'm not trying to argue with you, but I know good football when I see it. Liverpool were playing terribly boring footy last season and everyone knows it. I remember the great Liverpool teams of the late 80s when we were playing other teams off the park, we were in a different class altogether when it came to passing, off the ball movement and breaking down the other team. Nowadays? We hoof it up to Torres and hope he can beat two or three defenders to score.
The team is much like the Calgary Flames - old, decrepid, and living off past glory.
I'm serious when I talk about boring football. Liverpool played the worst football I've ever seen them player this past season. In the Premier League, you play 38 matches and you finish where you deserve to finish. We finished seventh, and we have a very poor stadium that is incapable of supporting the types of salaries you are required to pay to players if you want to compete at the highest level.
What's this about "I suggest you look further into the situation. You don't have a true understanding."? Are you aware of Liverpool's perilous financial state? Are you aware of these financial figures:
* Liverpool FC has an overall debt-burden of £350m
* Interest payments for this debt are around £30m each year.
