We are. No doubt. In alot of ways I agree with your criticism.
But why are you bothered about whether they feel 'threatened' by our transfer activity?
Because the eternal campaign against the Scousers has always been fundamentally about psychology.
Whether it was Shanks trying to wind up Bobby or Eric playing them off the pitch everyone knew we must be above, better and challenging them at every level.
Even when we were crap in the 70s/80s we battled them but now we’re adrift and the transfer strategy is just another reflection of our rapid demise.
The sudden influx of players under LVG was a warning that continued under Maureen and now Ole is going another way - a track record of inconsistency.
For thirty years we had a coherent mix of transfers and home grown, which suited the tactics on the pitch and delivered honours.
Now we’re spending money, pushing young players and performances are all over the place.
We never know if the players will turn it on or not turn up.
This is not the record of a joined up club but rather a series of disjointed and dislocated decisions.
And to those who think this window is all good, I truly hope your dreams come true but wishful thinking has been a constant at least since Willie Morgan was signed by Sir Matt and look what happened five years later. Since 2013 we’ve had several managers, umpteen players and spent a billion - and where are we now?
Woodward and Co have let everyone down, including the fans - they should be held to greater account.
that's reassuring to hear.
