Ihan tämmöinen muistin virkistys.
In 2015, when Brendan Rodgers had been sacked as manager, Liverpool fan site The Anfield Wrap wrote a piece assessing FSG’s time in charge. Within it, they made the following points:
‘The last five years under FSG have not been perfect. Far from it. League finishes of sixth, eighth, seventh, second and sixth, show that. There have been mistakes and growing pains. Kenny was removed when perhaps giving him the full-time job again made that inevitable and Rodgers was kept on when removing him appeared inevitable. Transfer policy has been unclear and uncertain at best.
‘Now, eight games into the season, after another summer of rebuilding, the man who in theory had final say on all the signings during the transfer window has been sacked before most of the new players had picked a favourite seat in the Melwood canteen. It feels like another season of transition, another year slipping away, wasted again.
‘As for how FSG rate thus far, though it may be a cop-out, their next managerial appointment will be the deciding factor. Be they altruistic thrill-seekers just looking for the glory of trophies or hard-nosed businessmen with one eye on a sale in the coming years, it is pivotal that they make the correct choice.’
Ole ei ole se oikea vaihtoehto. Seuraavan vaihtoehdon se pitää olla. Tuolloin Pool palkkasi Kloppin, valmentajan jolla oli suunnitelma ja pelityyli. Olella ei ole kumpaakaan. Omistajissa on vika, kyllä. Mutta se kaikki alkaa ja kiteytyy siihen päävalmentajaan.
