Liverpool a club with a long and storied history.
Formed in 1892. Crowned Champions for the first time in 1901.
Flash back to the present.
Liverpool has yet to win a title in the Premier League era which began in 1992.
The year is now 2016. That is 24 calendar years without a championship.
Yet Liverpool had hope because a new manager had taken control until...
An unexpected development.

This American is a former international footballer.
He had previously been an assistant coach with the LA Galaxy of MLS.
FSG announced the news just 48 hours after the shocking resignation.
The Press Conference:
Boss Smoke: It is an honor to announce that I will be taking over at Liverpool Football club.
I have always held this club in high esteem. I would like to thank Mr. Henry and FSG for giving me this chance
to take over one of the most storied franchises in the history of European football.
Press: What style of football do you envision for Liverpool?
Boss Smoke: This is the beautiful game. But with a touch of aggression. Like the predator who brings down
the leaping gazelle. It is like nature, but unleashed, in other words "Terrifying."
Press: Will you be making any massive changes to the staff?
Boss Smoke: I will optimize the current staff to my tastes. For now I will retain the services of Mr. Buvac since he is most familiar with the side and I'd rather not start completely from scratch. However I plan on hiring more scouts to track down the best talent far and wide and extra coaches to give our players the edge they need to develop into top class stars.
Press: What about your transfer policy, will you be frugal or will you spend?
Boss Smoke: I have been allotted a transfer budget and I will use it to put the best team possible on the pitch.
Obviously this is a talented side so our needs are not so numerous but there's always room for improvement.
Press: What are your goals for this club?
Boss Smoke: I intend qualification for Champions League football from the get go. And then a league title in no less than 3 years. In that same time period I expect us to at least reach the Semi-Finals of the Champions League. I fully intend to restore Liverpool to its former glory and add silverware to the display case. Of that you can be assured.
Press: We haven't really heard much about you, how can you be so assured and promise so much?
Boss Smoke: Self belief is first and foremost in my philosophy of success. I only need the players in my locker room to believe and for FSG to believe. The fans can begin to believe when we deliver results on the pitch. I only ask for a little patience and time for us to develop into the best football club in all of Europe.

Press: Who do you see as your toughest competition in the league?
Boss Smoke: The wonderful thing about the Premier League is that it is the most competitive football league in the world. Any team can lose to any team on any given day. That being said, I know that we won't be regarded as favorites. But any team who underestimates us shall rue their mistake. Of course I am wary of the favorites, the top clubs, but I teach my players not to be complacent either. Because even minnows can become giant slayers on the right day and under the right circumstances.
Press: Who will be your first major acquisition?
Boss Smoke: I believe I already covered that. I will go into more detail on another day. I believe it's safe to say that Paul Pogba won't be working through those doors. But we will bring in some true impact players who will contribute to the club's success. That's all for now ladies and gentlemen. Time for me to put on my hardhat and get to work!
