Every club faces its own set of problems, be it financial or management. However, these problems technically shouldn't affect a club's performance, due to an assumption that the players, managers and coaches alike, are there to play a good game of football.
Of course, all of that has changed due to the nature of the sport and the league, where employees of the club are worried about their paycheck and players are deemed as assets of the club, thus traded as a commodity.
Liverpool is looking to fall into administration. I urge Roy Hodgson to step up as a manager. I urge the players to step up as players of the game. The fans do not support Liverpool because of its wealth, the fans support Liverpool because of its history as a football club. A club that plays a good game of football. A club that delivers results on the field and off the field. A club that is respected for its tradition and its values.
It is important that the manager takes control of the atmosphere in the dressing room, ensuring that the right attitude is instilled in his players. To ensure that the club's administrative problems are not a concern of his players and definitely should not be his priority.
I stress again, every club has its own set of problems. Manchester United has its own problems, with fans disliking the owners, with the club making an overall loss. These should never be an excuse as it is the manager who holds the fort in terms of the game.
Roy Hodgson, take the reins in the dressing room. Do honours to Liverpool by putting out a team that delivers a good game of football.
