Long time lurker, first time poster.
I generally frequent the Premier League teams forums just to see the banter the news etc and peoples general opinions on football matters.
Over the last 6-8 months i have seen a gradual shift and decline in the atmosphere between reds fans, they used to so vehemently stand up for each other and 'have each others back' so to speak, even at times when they knew they were clearly wrong, it was that family mentality.
But all that has disappeared at a rapid scale since the close season started, and BR was appointed, i thought that might have been the catalyst to reform the bonds, but instead the in fighting and sniping and differences of opinion have grown to new levels.
So i ask whats going on? i have a slight feeling its that a larger proportion of Liverpool fans are now being realistic with there expectations and ambitions for the seasons ahead, no more of this next year is our year carry on, but even though now this may be a majority there are still those who will not be shifted and are blinkered into a sense of vitriolic right to be the best side in the country and europe.
Just my views, from an outsider.

Rafa didn't spend £120m in one season and he had a sell to buy players. That's the difference.
That's the difference. If Rafa spent what Kenny did in two transfer in two transfer windows he'd have won the league.

Rubbish, Kenny made expensive signings but there were made for the long term, FSG lost their nerve, I'm not sure why they didn't put that much of their own money into the team, and now we are in another period of turmoil, FSG are amateurs in ownership of football and their mot fast learners either. #abject

Well he performed badly and deserved to get sacked.
Last time a legend was responsible for Liverpool downfall.

17 points of 4th....thats the cold hard truth. I wanted KD to stay, but....17 points of 4th; not first which used to be our benchmark, but 4th! Thats why he lost his job, if BR finishes 17 points of 4th i bet he losses his job too.

Nobody is going to get anywhere with these people. They're against the owners for sacking a failing manager and looking for all sorts of reasons to blast them. I genuinely think some of them want us to do badly so they can gloat. Sad sad people. Get behind the owners and the club.
Kenny is gone, it's history. Time to move on. Let it go.

If that were to happen GB it would be a disgrace, we really will have become a hire 'em and fire' em club.
If we aren't in the running for 4th by Christmas, some posters on here will soon be rattling their plastic sabre's demanding his head on a stick.
Impatient buffoons.

I confess, I've never even been aware of any fans calling for FSG to get out because they sacked Kenny. The longer it is since his removal, the more I've had to think about it, loyal supporter and admirer of KD since his Celtic days, he wasn't cutting it. 17 points behind 4th place. 37 points behind the PL Champions says it all. KD had to be replaced. His replacement fills me with so much joy and expectation - not blind, stupid unbelievablel pronouncements - BR gives me hope, far more than KDcould have generated. jimmytheRed

Is it possible to love your country but not support the government who runs it?

'Thing is that some fans want the owners out after sacking KK who under performed and deserved the sack.
They keep bashing the owners at every opportunity, which the sensible fans wont have.'
No, the truely sensible fans don't bash the owner AND they didn't want KK out!
