KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum How long do we give Dalglish

To be honest I really do wonder why I support Liverpool not because of me or my way of thinking just that I love Liverpool because we are better than this if it ain't the amount we spend its the owners then it Kenny FFS what is wrong with some people anyway will carry on supporting not even ever thought I would stop just some people should support Chelsea or the mancs just really don't see where people come from ...........

Roy took on a poison chalice as far as I'm concerned and I don't think anyone thought he was actually going to last. Unfortunatley for him he did himself no favours by employing the style of football that wasn't suited to LFC. I backed him when he was appointed, even though I didn't want it to happen. Kenny made some changes in the style of football we played, bought in a couple of decent additions in January and dragged us out of the relegation zone to finish a respectable 6th, given the plight we were in before he took over. I think if Roy had us playing a reasonable style of football, fans would have supported him more even if we weren't winning games but unfortunately that wasn't the case.
I am optimistic about this season and there are no excuses any more. We have owners who are putting their money where their mouths are and allowing the manager to spend on his first priority so long as the purchase fits in with the plans, which is better than what we've had in recent times and they seem to have a plan of attack. I don't expect LFC to win the title this season and I don't think the owners do either. IMO they will have a plan to build the club from strength to strength and will be looking to win the title within 3 years and at least finish top 4 this coming season to get us back in the Champions League. I believe we can definately achieve this. Kenny has shown since he's been appointed that he can get the team to perform reasonably well and with his current additions to the squad and a couple more (LB and CB) I believe he can get us to the top 4. He should be given until his contract is complete so long as the team is performing and that he is performing to the standards that the owners expect of him!

I think champions league football is a must to get the proper type of player into the club.
Kenny I think would give himself maybe three seasons after this to get everything right.

I think the owners will want a return on there outlay this season with either a Cup or a top four place. I dont think you will see Dalglish if he is still here be given much money in January or the following Summer to the extent we have seen in the last seven months, I think the owners have backed him enough with there cash and no it's up to him to produce. If we start badly or look to be out of the top four by xmas I think that will be the end of Dalglish, lets just hope if it comes to it he leaves with dignity and quits rather than go for a pay off like Houllier and Benitez did. By the way this is worst case scenario he may do well with the signings he has made and we may all be saying the outlay on them looks justified, just that at the moment it looks like we have been robbed for three of them going on up to now.

Well said Shaggydog, a truly pathetic Thread! But that's what we can expect from this 'realistic' brigade!

Hang on. Is what you are saying all that can ever be said on these forums is a never ending tirade of how wonderfull we are? As long as its not abusive to others any opinion should be welcomed because thats what makes it interesting. Its called debate my friend. If its not to your liking why not try North Korea they do a good line in keep your opinions to yourself.

What is going on in this thread, is not debate Stanley Park, it is an ongoing drivel and repetition of negativity that is not supportive of LFC, nor conducive to reasonable discussion. Can you really think it is reasonable or supportive of LFC to be calling for the managers head before he has one season, following his appointment?

Fully agree with all you said there RedLaz, and well put!

Annefield I agree to call for Dalglish head after what is in effect his first season is not a sensible comment. But it is a point of view and we cannot have censorship. Also I don’t think the thread is about calling for his head but how long with give him if things don’t go to plan? I also think that is a bit dumb concept too but it’s what the guy wants to know about. But I can answer his question for him if Dalglish does not take Liverpool forward and by that I mean at least 5th place and a good cup run then the knifes will be out. Forget loyalty Liverpool legend all that is flam these days the same ones saying king Kenny now will be out for him in less than 12 months if he does not deliver. With social media now things can change within days but Kenny will know all that and he does as much as anyone what he has to do and what the expectations and consequences are.
