Let me explain just what i mean when i say Gillette and Hicks is the best and most imortant thing to happen to this club since Shanks.
Shanks built us,and brought us into the goalden era.It was the foundations he had laid that we had unrivaled success through the 60s,70s and 80s.
Yes Paisley,Fagan and Dalglish were excellent in what they did but the ball was already rolling and all they needed to do pass on the batton.
But since then,those foundations thats Shanks had laid have been slowly crumbling,although we have had a bit of success in the 90s and more so in recent years,it hasn't been the bread and butter trophy,ie the league title.
Thats what we have been brought up on,and thats what we will be judged on.
Now it's crunch time.We have to spend,and spend right.These guys are the ones that are gonna take us forward and it's what they do now in terms of the stadium and getting the right players in,that will underpin,if you like the crumbling foundations that Shanks had laid 40 odd years ago.
Like it or not,these guys are here to stay,and imo,thats why they are the best and most important thing to happen to this club since Shanks.
They have the resources that will take us to the next level.
