When did it go wrong ?

[Snodin]

1985 kings of Europe 1987 kings of England what was the turning point from Mersey millionaires to what we have become ? Peter Johnson ? Kenwright ? The premier league launch ? Trying to pin point when the slide started ?

That shower across the park didn't exactly help us like.

Kenwrong....................


He's Finished us off......

 

[Steam Engine]

The seeds were planted in 1994 with the building of the Park End.

For 15 years the stadium issue has dominated our problems off the the field.

If we correctly built the Park End then, then the only off the field issue would have been the land behind the Bullens Road.

No disillusionment and alienation starting over stadium moves, money being concentrated on one stand plus the squad.

Bloody hell we only lost a game . Perspective called for?

Aarrggghhh too depressing!!

 

[Blue 1]

The rot was already starting to set in when we were at the top.

Lineker was sold for the money. It's been downhill from there, with 2004-2009 a blip..

I'm ****in' depressed today.

The start was the ban from europe in 1985 it's as simple as that. Basically after the championship winning side of 1987 fragmented and Kendall left we were always going to find it difficult, if not impossible, to return to those former glory years.

Since then we have had the disastrous Johnson era which compounded our problems. This has left the club in financial turmoil ever since and is now exacerbated by Kenwright.

Amateur leadership since 1987. Kendall laid the basis for a global club and the owners and executive officers made the wrong choices on just about everything from then on.

We should have pushed on when we got in the Champions league. But we bought..........

fucking no one!!!

Moyes should have left 5 years ago to.......

 

[JohnHogg]

Villareal game for me.

 

[Deano]

When we got into the Champions League and never capitalised on it in the same way Tottenham are now.

 

[davek]

12 years with this lot in charge; 10 years with Moyes as manager. It's all looking a bit stale, and it feels like we're going through the motions. The club's unrecognisable even from the one that reached the cup final 2 and a half years ago. Something has to give and it looks like there's a mass exodus away until it does give.

Kings Dock was the crossroads where we chose the path of decline and death.
