Lecter is very serious.

I watched that and teared up. Good times.

i watched it last night. Very good alright..... the clip of the fans singing YNWA was brilliant and you could see Bob was LFC through and through.

A few things about it:

- Christ people were ugly back then!! Some of his friends from back home looked like they should have been locked up.
- You get the feeling that people worked harder than now back in those days - but peoples values seemed to be much better as well.

Bit of a stretch - he was there 15 years beyond his chairmanship before he finally went, and we can thank Rafa for him finally going far more than the board whose hands he forced!

Being a director is very different to being the chairman

It was him being the chairman that was a problem

The real power at LFC has always resided with the chairman and the club secretary / CEO

The directors didn't have much power until ironIcally Gillett & Hicks got the loan from RBS

Not sure why you're trying to pick holes in every post I make

I didn't say he had power, I simply said I was curious as to what extent Moores delegated decision making to people like Parry and White, ditto Wheatley and others. In other words I was intrigued as to where the balance lay, was he hands on / autocratic / passive?

Anyway these irrelevant tangents are getting a bit tedious. It's supposed to be about Sir Bob.

Theres been quite a few books written by people who have worked behind the scenes at Liverpool

Man with the Keys to The Bank of Anfield is one, there's another written by one of the Development Officers but have forgotten the title

Those two alone (there are a few others) give good insights as to how the club operated on a board and management level

[Lecter]

The other book is called All On Red by Frank Gamble

"Inside Anfield" will lift the lid on the lot of this..
