A supporter is a supporter is a supporter, regardless of how well their team is doing.
Liverpool Football Club is a great club, that currently does not have a great team. It has some great players (Gerrard, Saurez, Agger), some formerly great players (Carragher), and some players on their way up (Sterling, Morgan, Coates).
As fans, we are suffering. Every defeat, every missed win, every missed shot, every sending off, we are suffering. We have suffered for two whole seasons, and I have no reason to suspect that we are going to suffer this season and one or two more to follow.
But at this very dark time, this is when we can find and know the true fans. The ones who support the Club, and what it means, and what it will be again.
This is the best time to be a supporter, to be there when it is bleakest and to experience the inevitable climb back to the top, and with time patience and prudent investment, the Club will return to the top.
As supporters we need to recognize we are at the beginning of a brand new era. We have the opportunity to support our Club at the ground floor of a new dynasty. But if we insist on immediate and overnight results and dismiss managers and impulse buy players then we will not succeed .Fenway Sports Group, be patient. Let the new manager and style develop. The new era is upon us.
WE ARE LIVERPOOL.
