They are not.
They have been mismanaged for the best part of 2 decades & are a mess. If you think bringing in a bloke who has lost touch over the same period, though granted a legend, can rediscover this, then fair play to you but it looks like panic to me. Liverpool could not replace Torres with a decent striker, recognised as such, as they wont be in Europe next season, end of.
If you think I'm harsh on your team, read my previous posts on my own fucking team, & I call most of my own fans fucking deluded

No worries Swoop'.
On your highlighted points though...i and most other Liverpool fans do not think we are where we were, we fully understand that we cannot even be considered as part of the big four anymore and we all know how long ago it was when we last won the the league. It's ok if you want to believe that though and see us as jumped up delusional wankers as you said, many others do to, i see many Utd fans slagging us daily and i guess it rubs off, most of them talk more about us than they do their own team and even the neutrals generally dislike us. It's become the norm' and i'm guessing it will only get a little better should we ever win the league again.
As for being mismanaged and mess for couple of decades i'd disagree, i'd say it was for the three years under Hicks and Gillette and yes we could of of been managed a little better at boardroom level at times but in the two decades you mention we have won every European and domestic cup going, bar the league title. You dont get those trophy's by being mismanged and in a mess for two decades. If anything i'd say that description is more fitting to your club.
