An open letter to Mr. John W. Henry

We’re Liverpool Football club.Success is in our blood. We have to stop aiming low and aim for the sky. Everyone associated with Liverpool needs to wake up each morning with the mentality of bringing nothing but the best to Liverpool. Be it effort or talent. Be it goals or mentalities. We need to acknowledge the fact that we’re not where we want to be. The best of our opponents do not expect us to win. Our players need to accept that as a challenge and come out hungry, everyday and every night.

You can’t take Liverpool fans for granted. Yes, the travelling Kop and millions around the world will be by Liverpool’s side through thick and thin, through blood and tears. But the honeymoon period Mr. John W. Henry, officially ended when Kenny Dalglish was sacked. A bold move that indicated you think Liverpool deserves better. The only problem is that is now, we’ll demand better. No matter who you bring in as a manager, be it the fans favorite, the ever so changing bookies favorite or bob the builder. We, the fans, will support him. My only advice to you (says the man to the successful billionaire!) is to listen to the fans. To quote a word Rafael Benitez used a lot, we need “ Character” In a manager and in our signings.

Liverpool may be second in your heart after the Boston Red Sox, but just know that to millions… more importantly the local Scouse, Liverpool Football club was their grandfather’s love, their father’s love, their love and will be their kids love. Liverpool is our Number one, Mr. Henry. Will always be. Defeat, failure & Retreat are not in our vocabulary,Success is but so is patience. We’re not demanding success tomorrow.But we demand the effort towards success today. All we ask is that we know what direction you plan on taking this club to reach that success. Actions speak louder than words, but silence is more dangerous than any weapon.

Today, we look back at Liverpool’s history with pride. We remember their glory, passion and success.

Mr. John W. Henry, we’ve lost our perch. But we don’t want it back.Let’s build a new perch of glory. Let history remember us with pride, let history be proud of US.

 

 

To quote Bill Shankly, “Aim for the sky and you’ll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you’ll stay on the floor” Let’s aim Sky High.

You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Just another Red.
