What the fuck is that all about?
Posthumous Knighthood Poll Results
Obviously Everton or Manc fans.
Paisley was a great manager and a great man. Sir Alex Ferguson was knighted (and rightfully so) for his achievements, yet Paisley's success eclipses Fergie's, especially in Europe.
I thought that, but you need to be registered to vote, would that many go through the hassle ?
Sounds like a bit of a Star Wars quote, but you underestimate the bitterness of the Everton and United fans.
There is NO WAY any LFC supporter that has any grasp on reality would not think that Bob is deserving of that award.
I am too young to know enough about him, but after reading and hearing what other supporters have said about him, it is obvious to everyone that he was not only one/if not THE MOST successfull manager in englsih football, but also a man that knew what was important. No ego and a man who respected opponents. Someone that epitomises LFC, the fans and what the club stands for.
It is not unfortunate that he has not been honoured, more a disgrace tbh.
