future-oriented season: The first season of Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool FC manager. A personal acco

Shortly after the end of the season 2011/2012, Liverpool FC appointed a new, young, promising, and energetic manager in Brendan Rodgers. Since his instalment, he tried to instil his ideas, his model, his project, into the club, always with an eye on the present and the future in sight.Under Rodgers' guidance, season 2012/2013 looked more focused on the future, in a re-building process, than in the present; even so, it proved to be a season full of interesting developments for LFC, including the retirement of a long time servant, Liverpool FC legend in his own right; none other than Jamie Carragher.And including also frequent appearances on the pitch of new, young, and promising players, hopefully players that will prove to be the ones to lead Liverpool FC to new victories and football glory. While on the pitch it was not a season that will go on as a memorable one for Liverpool FC fans, only time will tell whether the foundations laid will become the roots of a new era at Anfield, or simply yet another frustrated try.Nonetheless, this future-oriented season had its own ups and downs, its own failures and successes, its own good and bad moments, its own significant developments. This book offers a personal insight in those developments in the form of a diary by a Liverpool FC fan. A step by step, match by match, recollection of how season 2012/2013, that future-oriented season, unfolded for Liverpool FC.
