After three years under the calamitous ownership of the Yanks, Liverpool find themselves typing in on the Liverpool badged SatNav, (£299 from the Club store),“the Premiership Title”. The message back –“ cant do it from here, need a driver”. Is that a Manager or an Owner?
For any club, identifying a suitable manager is a huge decision, identifying suitable owners massive. Matters are no better for Liverpool as the decision must be made under time pressure. At the moment the spotlight is off Liverpool as this is a World Cup year. But come the morning of July 12, at the latest, Cristian Purslow, Martin Broughton and King Kenny better have a plan not just for a Manager but for new owners.
They can plead with the banks and they can appoint the best manager they can find but none of this guarantees restoring Liverpool to an even keel, let alone to the glories with which the club remain synonymous.
In this new Football World it is the owners who count, Liverpool, a legendary club, can attract the right manager if they have the right owners. In this world of bluffers, chancers, parasites and charlatans , the right owners will not be easy to find, but this is Liverpool, THIS IS ANFIELD, as the poster in my study says. The right owners must be out there, it is just a question of whether there is time to find them.
Maybe just maybe, that the paying off Benitez, was a preamble for new owners to take over. If so they must be serious bidders and have a new Manager lined up. Maybe!
