Dalglish > Hodgson
--roy-hodgson-sammy-lee.jpg)
The football season has now drawn to a close. You know what? I didn’t want it to end.
This season has been a mixture of extreme highs and extreme lows; from the depths of the relegation zone under Hodgson, to the verge of administration, to Fernando Torres shitting on us, to Hicks and Gillett and the ‘epic swindle’, to Dalglish and a new era under Fenway Sports Group.
Love the Club

In 2004 Michael Owen left Liverpool and I was absolutely gutted. I was a young’un at the time, and Owen was a player who was synonymous with Liverpool Football Club and its success. Who can forget his brace against Arsenal in that cracking FA Cup Final on a sunny day in May in 2001? I couldn’t, and like a lot of Liverpool fans I was devastated when he left for Real Madrid for a measly £8 million after running down his contract.
Dignity Dave

I recently came across a newspaper article that was published in The Times in June 2009. The article in question caused quite a furore on Merseyside and resulted in the original writer losing his job.
He was almost sued by David Moyes, who seemed to cool down a bit when a few grand found its way into his pocked.
Nevertheless, I don’t believe the article should remain buried. After all, the content is factual – but I suppose that is why Dignity Dave was found less than impressed.
‘Epic Swindle’

“I’m shocked, devastated, frustrated… It’s hurt my family tremendously. This very valuable asset has been swindled away from me in an epic swindle. I’m very angry about it.” – Tom Hicks, 16th October 2010.
George Gillett and Tom Hicks have finally received their comeuppance. Liverpool Football Club has been sold from under their noses and purchased by NESV (New England Sports Ventures), headed by John Henry.
‘Asset Stripping’

‘Asset stripping’ is a newly coined phrase that has been making its way around a variety of Liverpool Football Club forums during recent months. Just a few short weeks ago, the summer transfer window slammed shut. Whilst this was a relief for football fans who hate reading a dozen different bullshit transfer stories a day, it proved to be a disappointment for those Liverpool fans who had expected the club to ‘splash the cash’ on the last day of the transfer window.
Rotten to the Core

After a (long) period of reflection on Liverpool Football Club’s efforts in the 2009/2010 season, I originally intended to write down my thoughts on where it had all gone wrong. Another one of my little reviews if you will.
