I hated Bill Shankly - but when that lot crapped on him & he came to our games every week, & i read about some former players admiring him as a great man manager the more I read about him, he came across as a great manager - when we won the league in 1970 - they gave manager of the year to Don Revie, he wrote to the FA saying - Harry Catterick deserved it more than Revie .......
he was a great phycologist of a manager too - Joe Royle mentions that .....so after many years, my hatred - turned into a bit of warmth for him .....
I am not happy with RB coming, but I will judge him on results & performances - the bitching on here OMG no moans when Sheedy, Harper & Beardsley & Ablett plus a certain Johnny Morrissey came to us - in fact I cannot remember ever signing a dud player off them......
A manager is different - I agree, but like any Manager if he fails they get sacked anyway......
It will not stop me supporting my club - they are in my blood since I was born .....
