Reminds me of myself, Zeddicus, a 12yr old fanatic watching the 84 cup final with my Liverpool mug that my dad had brought me back from the Isle of Man of all places earlier that year full of milk, a matching miniature commerative panel /flag and key ring even though I didn't possess any keys as you didn't need to lock your doors in those days, different times but brilliant times as a kid apart from witnessing the likes of Heysel and of course Hillsborough and trying to understand them as a nieve teenager. All the good times and more so a lot of bad times as you said, with the sprinkling of the odd trophy here and there waiting for the messiah that was Klopp to bring us back out of the wilderness and back like the force that we were in the late 70's and 80's, only for a fraud of a manager to win a league on the strength of Klopp's legacy and then show his true colours and how inept he really is as a manager.
I for one wanted him out after the Forest and Fenynoord (excuse spelling) games as we were already in decline in my view from the cup final loss to Newcastle earlier last year and for the remainder of the title winning season. I for one do not want to go back to the dark days of waiting 30yrs plus for a league title as I'll be long dead by then I'd imagine. But that's exactly what will happen if Slot, Edwards and Hughes are allowed to stay at the club for any longer than the end of this season as collectively they are destroying everything that Klopp and FSG built. I want Slot gone as we won't make top 5 with him in charge, but my biggest fear is that he will be protected by messers Edwards and Hughes until the end of the season when we will have finished 7th or 8th in what has been one of the most depressing seasons I can remember as a fan following my beloved club for over 40+ yrs.

Love this, Zed.
Two take-outs for me are your comment about going 0-1 down to the blue noses. That used to be something we didn't bat an eyelid over: now we might as well pack up and go home, but this is a very recent thing.
My in-laws are long term Norwich season ticket holders, so have seen a lot more of the lows that we have. Look at what Clement has achieved there since he arrived a third of the way through this season.
We just need the balls to admit the current project has run its course and re-energise the current squad, plus two or three clever additions.
Clement has achieved Norwich's meteoric rise through a couple of canny buys plus some gentle turd polishing around the fringes of the squad. This sounds a plan for us.
