Being an avid fan and knowing a fair few people who is connected to our club, i started thinking, does our club have any secrets. Now i know this is a strange question to ask, because firstly, with our club been in the public eye, nothing of importance can really be kept secret. However, after listening to some "people" you learn about how big secrets can be kept. I can't say much on a public site, and alot of information is only by word and there isn't any solid prove, but it's still true.
One "secret" which, is no longer kept secret is the whole "mourinho affair". Now nearly everyone knows that before we got the famous Rafa, "the not so special one" actually was going to be our manager. Rumour is that, Mourinho never got over the so called snub our lads gave him when we got our man Rafa. Now like i said, it's all by word and people will argue and say, "oh no thats all lies" etc etc etc, but it does make you think. Mourinho already had it out for us even before we played Chelsea, so maybe this was the reason?
Another rumour doing the rounds is about a certain player who missed a very important penalty 'against' us. Now, it had been made clear that this player was actually a liverpool fan. Knowing that people put 2 and 2 together and the answer could either be 5 or 4. Well, story cut short. Rumour is, he missed the penalty because of been a liverpool fan, and it was done on purpose. I think this is not true, but you never know.
People hear different stories, like is it true that liverpool players go on the liverpool website and pretend to be fans just to hear what the fans say about them. Come on, if you was a millionaire, would you really spend you spare time on the internet trailing message boards pretending to be a fan?
I think most of the time, we hope ther are deep secrets and more to footballers and clubs than what we see. There probably is, but i don't think footballers will trail the message boards. I think one of the secrets of football, is one that will never be revealed. In ways it's more of a question. Why out of all the sports in the world, as football got this passion? noone quite knows. People do have there views, but maybe some secrets are best left secret. Just next time your at a game, think about it, whats secrets is this ground holding.
