Football/soccer went downhill when Sir Stanley Matthews retired

Re: Liverpool FC Survey.........PLEASE HELP!!


Liverpool of course, why else would I be here from Google?



Kenny Dalglish is the best player I ever saw in my life (too young for George Best) - believe me, I saw him do things even Rooney cannot. But other key players were Souness, Rush, Hansen, Emlyn Hughes, Terry McDermott, Ray Kennedy, John Barnes, too many to list.

Bill Shankly built the foundations, Bob Paisley took them on from there.

Also, because it was a tight run club, almost like a family business - behind the scenes Shankly put in training and fitness regime that is still there today.


(Say Here)

It is going to be very difficult for several reasons:

1. Football has changed a lot in ten years or so
2. Money is everything now, it didn't used to be
3. The fans' expectations are so high, because of all their past success

They need to build on the Champions' League success, trust Benítez, but most of all, they still need a few key players. But they are on the right road already.



Simple - they have a new manager who understands Europe, but doesn't (yet) understand the Premiership



THEN they were building on a wave of successful teams - one in the mid-1960s, then the early 70s, and finally a seamless run from the mid-70s all the way through the 80s.

NOW they are having to rebuild as if from new, but the fans' expectations are still for them to win something regularly (which they seem to be doing - just not yet the biggest prize, the Permiership). Also, they are no longer able to attract the very best players.



How can a player be really 'hungry' for the game when he is already a millionaire and just has to turn out each week to get his money? And there is too much money in the top clubs which stifles competition.



I'm glad you put that in quotes - a treble in 2001, European Champions - a demise that most other clubs would kill for!


There aren't many. Everyone knows about Moneybags Chelsea, but Man Utd were better for years because of 1. Alex Ferguson, an old-fashioned manager in the same class as Shankly, Clough, Busby etc and 2. because of his unbelievable luck in having that group of youngsters (Nevilles, Scholes, Beckham, Giggs) all coming through at the same time.

Arsenal also have an edge because Wenger is a genius - but then, so is Benítez, so watch out Premiership (it took time for Wenger to get where he wanted as well).

Who else? No-one.



1. Money
2. Money
3. Money

Well ok, also it's the media (Sky Sports etc)
Also the Premiership itself being Number 1 League in Europe
Also the number of good foreign players in our League

In some ways its changed for the better (less hooliganism, better grounds, attendances etc), but in others its worse (too much money, too much media exposure, too middle class)



Quite impossible to say. Remember - "what goes around comes around". Who would have thought what happened to Chelsea? But look at other teams like Spurs, and what about Wigan, eh? It's impossible to predict.

All I will say is - look at a manager like Benítez. If he can't do it, no-one can. The man is a genius, just like Wenger.

i support west ham
liverpool have always been a great pass and move team with great british players thats the key the their success.

Don' forget the Irish contribution!

wayne rooneys the best irish player to play in england

Pity he won't play for the land of his ancestors!

If he stays fit, he'll be one of the stars of the next World Cup. And with the likes of Gerrard, Lampard & Cole, you've got a fighting chance.

I'd dump Rio though, a waste of space imo.

word up rio's shocking now would rather have his brother.
