You are completely wasting your time with these people, I have tried my best to explain the treatment of Roy Hodgson was never the Liverpool way no matter how good of bad he was, but if falls on deaf ears, this is the new breed of fan we are dealing with here, Dalglish will fail mark my words and when he does I fully expect the same treatment for him. I dont like Dalglish for the reasons I have mentioned, he should'nt be let near the job and I dont care who he is...
Yes, but Reclaim, Roy was sh*te and everyone except him and you knew it. Maybe the Liverpool way has changed to not standing by while someone ruins our club, and I can't honestly see how that isn't a change for the better. Our expectations are high because a certain "tyrant" raised the bar again, so when he's hoofed into touch and replaced by a man who's best EPL finish is 14th having had every other club he managed in the league get relegated, well, it's not rocket science to understand his appointment was a mistake. We gave him the time he wanted, but he wasn't up to the task. Let it go. Kenny may have skeletons in the closet, but if the players aren't interested in playing for him then I don't think there is a single fan who would have any arguments if they leave/get sold. None of us expects Kenny to suddenly deliver the title, and we know it will be tough just to get a Europa spot, but we have a good squad and all we need is unity. But I'm not sure any other manager could deliver unity.
I said at the start of the season that only Kenny could take this poisoned chalice, and I stand by that statement. Not because he's a fantastic manager. Not because he "deserted" us. But because of what he represents for Liverpool, and the respect that the players almost certainly have for him. Don't forget the quality of football he has come to expect from his players is of the highest standard; lately it seems like we have no standards at all, and that has surely contributed to our 12th place. If we are destined to fail (and there is no guarantee we are), he is the only one who can do it with his reputation intact (just like Shearer for Newcastle).
