Just saw this post now so apologies if it has already been dealt with.
As a member of this so called youger deluded generation I take offence to this post. Also I call bulls*** on it as the way I see it is the reverse. I see the younger generation as being the more realistic fans to be honest. Sure th 'older' fans are quick to moan and say how sh**e we are and how it used to be better during the glory days blah blah blah. It was better. Of course it was. You don't need to have been there to know that winnings titles year after year is better than finighing 8th or 9th. You don't need to have been there to see what a title winning team consists of and to know what we are lacking.

I'll ask you this. As a member of the younger generation how exactly do I become deluded having only witnessed the dross(in comparision to the glory years which I missed) of the last 20 years? Repeatedly watching us fail at almost every hurdle, having known no glory days how exactly do become deluded into thinking we are more than we are?? If anything my opinion on the club is not 'clouded' by delusions of grandeur and a sense of entitlement which alot of pool fans seem to have?

“I wouldn’t go as far as to say the manager’s job will only be a training ground role but absolutely the idea is to create a structure so that the manager doesn’t need to focus on too much else.


“You want the manager to be focused on getting the best out of his team. But what it absolutely isn’t about is bringing players in without the manager’s input.


“In the past a manager would be going to look at 20 or 30 different games just to find one player. Whereas with the right structure someone lines all of that up and the manager is just going to the final interview.


“We are trying to create as much resource and expertise in all the areas that serve the manager and the team rather than having one or two people trying to achieve everything. We are not looking to copy any other club. It will have Liverpool’s own stamp and structure on it.”

That's just how the Utd fans roll. They see which way the the breeze is blowing and go against it. Not all of them of course. The likes of Blatter is able to come on here and have a reasonable debate. But it's the usual ones and not just Utd fans, we all know who they are who will come on here with their usual sh!te.

This thread is going to be oh so predictable over the next two or three years with the next appointment. If we're happy with the manager, they'll spend endless hours telling us how sh!te he is, if we're not happy with how the manager is doing, they'll be moralising on how we should give him a chance.

What sums it up for me is, they slag of Rafa and Kenny, yet they defend Hodgson to the hilt!!!

I'll see your comment, and raise you one....





....Bob Paisley





Martinez is no Bob, but to say nice guys win nothing is just spouting a very tired cliche.

If what Ayre says is right and that a lot of the responsibilities that managers are used to having will be given over to others then that will limit the type of manager we can get.



FSG are trying to redefine the "managers" role, which may not go down too well with managers who like to be in total control.

Future managers under FSG's new structure will be different from what we are used to, if I'm reading this right.

Don't come much more dignified and likable as him.
