I don't post very often but catch up on posts 2 or 3 times a day. Been watching LFC for over 30 years and been passing on the passion to my kids. I may go in to a rant but I will try and stay on track!

Our club in my opinion is lacking true leadership throughout the club, from top to bottom. We over pay for a player (sometimes you need to to get the right ones I appreciate that) but on the other hand we squabble over a couple of million for others that we need.

Our manager seems to be a out of his depth (I hope he proves me wrong and goes on a fantastic run of result), there is no clear plan for players he buys or the style of football he wants to play. Now this is a problem that FSG created, he was not ready to take over on his own. I also don't want to slag the guy, there are plenty of others doing that. I think he has got ability to manage but this is defiantly a job too soon. I think ed 2 has stated this previously.

I have experience of building businesses and turning business's around, I left school with basically no qualifications but always had the ability to learn, something our club seems to fail to do. In my opinion our club needs leadership, taking by the balls and dragging up.

Leadership comes from the top, I do to want a corporate fool trying to bamboozle the media and supporters with corporate jargon, I want an honest management structure from top to bottom.

This starts with the MD and CE, who have both put themselves under pressure backing BR. I think they need replacing personally (I am an outsider looking in, so I will apologise if someone can make a case for them) along with BR, but, replacing all is too much to change in one go.

My point is, our problems are deeper than just BR, although I think replacing him initially is the first step.

I don't know if I have made my point (sat in a bar on a business trip, had a few!) but at least I feel better for getting it off my chest!!

Frustrating times but keep the faith, we will one day rise again!

I hate to bring up the whole director of football thing again but I believe the club would benefit massively from someone running the whole football side of things, how we will play, recruiting etc.

It seam as tho everybody is pulling in different directions at the present time!

I guess this Michael Gorden fella is kind of doing this at the minute to a certain degree but he seams to be just as clueless as fsg.

That would make some sense as Gordon is 12% of FSG.

I wouldn't be too critical of FSG, they have backed the club and for that I am grateful.

I would just question their appointments, the next few months will give us an indication if they have learnt anything.

Being calm and getting thing right is paramount. Otherwise we will be having the same conversations/debates again in another 2 to 3 years.
