Firstly, I was never over the moon about G&H coming in. I had only just got round to believing Moores' story about DIC being the right owners for us, when the spin came out that G&H were perfect for us after all.
I didn't do the homework on the Yanks (unfortunately, neither did Moores or Parry) but I still wondered how a couple of blokes from a country where footy is about 27th choice, behind lacrosse, could be right for us. What could they possibly know about owning a footy team?
I admit, I wanted to believe that they would build the stadium, something Hicks had a history of doing with great success, and that we could build a team around the revenue that would bring. Obviously, my lack of homework meant that I failed to see these two tossers didn't have two ha'pennies to rub together.
Even then, in all the crap that has gone on, I have still questioned whether or not DIC (or whoever else) would be the right move. As much as I want G&H out of our club, I don't want to leap out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Who is to say that the next owner would have any more respect for us fans? Or any more understanding of the traditions of 'the Liverpool way'? The capital or backing to build that F***ing stadium? The knowledge of football to stick by and back a manager instead of sacking them every two minutes ( you listening Roman?)
So NO, brian, you're not the only one who has reservations about anyone new coming in. You know what they say - "once bitten, twice shy."
All I can say, and hope to God that I'm right, is that anyone else cannot possibly as bad for LFC as the current owners? Can they?
