I think we're pretty much in agreement on the Academy, then!
Men, or rather a man, with vision and the strength of character to follow it through relentlessly, that's what we need. In other words, a DoF. Must admit I hadn't really seen a DoF as that important as long as we had the right manager, but I'm swayed after this. Some terrific posts, lads.
How about what LFC stands for?
I mean back in the 70's and 80's we were like gods among men. We were more than a club, we were a living legend, a secret formula, above the level of every other club in terms of quality, confidence and passion. We also had that Liverpool spirit, the heart in the community, that fight, that love, that 'sod the rest of you' attitude.
Is it because we no longer have many scousers in the staff (in general) that that seems to have been lost? In becoming a cosmopolitan, modern-era, world-brand commercial entity with foreign players, staff and owners, has LFC lost it's soul? I think the temptingly simple answer might be 'yes'!
Anyway, perhaps this too comes back to the Academy question. I know they're not just kids from Huyton and Bootle any more, but is this the way to reconnect with the/a 'Liverpool Way'?
