Not for the first time Debs I've read your post and cannot for the life of me fathom where in my stuff you've drawn the conclusions you've drawn. You've got a habit of picking me up on things in my posts which aren't actually there, it's a bit strange to be honest.
Here's a quick checklist of what I ACTUALLY think:
1. I think Jürgen should be backed to a much greater extent in the transfer market than it appears so far. Dahoud for example, if Jürgen wants him we should pay what it costs to get him.
2. I don't believe Jürgen will have had much idea who Ben Chilwell is until somebody pointed him in that direction. I think if Jürgen was genuinely looking for competition/a replacement for Moreno his first choice wouldn't be a 19 year old kid who hasn't played a league game.
3. I think if we give Jürgen the tools (proper ones, not that stuff from poundland which is no good for anything) he can build us a platform and win us many trophies.
4. I'm not looking to "divide" anybody, I'm 100% behind the manager but about 8% behind the owners. I think they are c***s who are pulling the wool over the eyes of supporters.
5. I think the transfer committee arrangement and our recruitment/wages policy we have is bollocks. If it remains in place as it was, changing the manager/the bloke who takes the rap when it f***s up doesn't change the fact that it's bollocks. It is still bollocks whoever is in charge.
6. I think under these circumstances and given how much money our rivals are throwing at it, Jurgens task is impossible.
I'll start with Chilwell. He may well have been recommended by the TC or he may have been recommended by his mate at Huddersfield or it may have been a bit of both. You may well be right that Jürgen doesn't know anything about him but he is what he is looking for according to this today. He doesn't want a replacement.
Liverpool are looking for a young left-back who will grow and develop under the guidance of Klopp.
The Reds have been heavily linked with FC Cologne’s Jonas Hector. However, the Germany international doesn’t fit that description and the ECHO understands he’s not being pursued.
You back him 100% but believe he's not being given the tools to do the job and have also stated quite clearly that he has an impossible job to achieve anything unless the owners back him with more money and better players than they appear to be giving him. All this despite knowing full well that he has achieved amazing things by not spending loads of money.
Now to me that's not backing him, that's saying yeah he's great and we're lucky to have him but really he's never going to achieve anything unless he changes everything that's worked for him before.
Now for the not wanting to divide bit - you already know that some of us have absolute faith in his abilities and are excited and positive about what he can achieve in the coming seasons, then there are others who question if his ability will translate in the PL, that without top quality players, more top level experience and a lot of money he's got an impossible job (your words) to achieve anything much better than what we've had over the last 6 or 7 seasons.
If you didn't want to be divisive when you started the topic, why name it as one against the other, instead of as I suggested, and you then agreed with btw, that they are working together? After all the arguments about our recruitment are nothing new, they've been raging for nearly 6 years, they run into every different transfer target thread, the Managers thread and occasionally someone will resurrect the TCs own thread or the owners thread to post their opinions.
It was always going to be divisive because you made it that way when you started it.
Jürgen is supposed to be a uniting factor within the fanbase, it's what he wants, it's what we need after all the turmoil of the last decade. Everyone was ecstatic last October, apart from the odd miserable f**ker, and maybe some who expected him/us to achieve more than we did last seaosn feel a bit let down that we didn't.
The division has grown on here since his arrival, we haven't united behind him, except when we win, we don't all believe in him or his past achievements. Whether we agree with the owners policy or not, we have the best manager out their to implement it so why not just let him get on with it and see what happens, instead of deciding he can't do it before he's even tried.
