Liverpool Not The Spirit Of Shankly

There seems to be a disproportionate number of Liverpool fans who are around my age but that's because when we were growing up in the 70's, Liverpool were winning everything.
With my colours already firmly attached to the mast of Arsenal, seeing Liverpool continually win things and having boys who had picked Liverpool as their team wind me up for being a football loving girl and an Arsenal fan while their lot picked up pot after pot did grate and i spent many years hoping that Liverpool would fall from grace, and took a great deal of satisfaction when they did.
Over time Manchester United have replaced Liverpool in my affections of the team to make me chuckle when it falls flat on it's face but now after threatening for a few seasons, Liverpool are back on top and out of the woodworm have come all the Liverpool fans, the ones who sneered at me in my homemade Arsenal top with a wonky number 7 on the back which my mum made me for PE in the 70s.
So grudging congratulations to Liverpool, even through my blatant bias i can see you were the greatest team this year and it would have been harsh to deny you the big prize through the pandemic so you deserve all the praise and plaudits you are getting.
That said, as one scouser was saying today, don't try and pass it off as a triumph of the Shankly principles, a famous Socialist, because if you were to ask Shankly what he would do in a global pandemic that threatens to bring the economy to its knees, the answer would not be to piggyback on a government scheme to stop mass unemployment when you are the world’s seventh-richest club. Liverpool, along with Tottenham and Newcastle were only one of three Premiership teams to furlough their non-playing staff to save £1m when they had an annual wage bill of £310m.
So not the team of the people or a team forged in the image of Bill Shankly, a team who kicked a ball around the best and hit the opponents net more times than their own got hit over the course of a season so shut up, dance around singing for a while and try not to draw attention to the fact that your club was one of the few happy to get the taxpayers of the country to pay the wages of the little guys at your club while still paying the millionaires their full whack.
