DISRUPTING THE SERVICE

By David Serfaty ⋅ February 4, 2008 ⋅  Print this post ⋅ Post a comment

Bill Shankly once famously referred to football clubs as being a ‘holy trinity’ - the players, the manager and the fans. Nowadays, with the current spate of foreign owners and investors, perhaps it’s more relevant to talk about a quartet, an unholy mess, especially where Messrs Hicks and Gillett are concerned. They arrived at Anfield with heaving wallets and bags of brash American charm. Since then they’ve been ducking in the rear pews, heckling Rafa’s sermons and winding up the congregation. Give it a rest, chaps. The trinity is sacred.
