May have started that way but not know. His comments on 50m is monopoly money, and we are after kouilably, tell you all you need to know about his knowledge of football.
I live in Kiev and I can tell you that the legacy of last year's champions league final is an absolute glut of LFC fans. They know all the songs and it's quite comical hearing them sing Manchester is full of $#@! in a Ukrainian accent. But they're singing it with a passion you wouldn't believe, even though they've never been near Manchester. The point is that for all these clubs who experience prolonged success, they are developing a world wide fan base, improving the brand, increasing revenue and widening the gap between them and us. In an era where the PL is a global phenomenon, we have been left behind.
Lot of truth in that. I think the vast majority of the fanbase is inhibited. We are easily embarrassed. Liverpool fans have an almost yank quality in that they are not. They have always had a sunnier disposition hence the colour, flags, banners, songs, chants etc. at their games. Anfield is uplifting, Goodison much less so. We attempted a mosaic once at the Gwladys street (its about 10 years ago, I cant remember the game) and it was pitiful. They also expect more (hence they demand more). We expect very little, and we obsess over them (this is something I’ve never subscribed to, such as watching them play in the desperate hope they will lose...rather than feed such misery/negativity just don’t watch them, like I didn’t when I went for a bike ride during the Champions League final).
Relates directly to what I’ve just wrote. There are two completely different mentalities among the fanbases.
I did post this earlier but I will do it again as it fits in perfectly with your post.

The People's Forum: Sadly this is oh so true....
Not only because we turned down a deal in the middle of DD from the Sheik who went bought City instead but also refused to talk to the QIA as in Qatari Invt Fund at the same time as it was a done deal.

The People's Forum: What a miss.
I was in quite regular contact with members of the Al Nahyan family at that time one of which being Mansour. Around a year after the city deal went through i had to meet him regarding a project he was looking at and in the traditional small talk before getting down to Business I asked him...members.boardhost.com
Good response lad. We just saw what happens at goodison when everyone is buzzing, the draw against Liverpool started it, then beat Arsenal, Chelsea and United scored 8 and let in 0, if goodison was rocking like that from the start of the season it's quite possible that we could go unbeaten at home all season. But what could happen is the first game away to Sheffield or one of the weaker sides ends up a draw and our fans instantly turn septic and Goodison is like a morgue next game which may lead to another negative result then it snowballs and takes a while to win the fans over again by then it's too late in the season to achieve anything. The fans effect the players there's no doubt about it in my mind and our fans have a negative effect on our players, look at Coleman he scored (can't remember against who) but he ran over to our supporters with his hands at his ears that's usually done by opposition players who've had the piss taken out of them all game.
