KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Consequences of failure this year

If we fail to win a trophy or break into the top 4 I can't help but think that our team will decline even further. I am fairly optimistic about the season ahead and so far satisfied with the signings we have made so far, however pre-season to date has been just as bad as last year and defensively we are weak. IF we were to fail with expectations this season I can't help but wonder will the likes of Reina and Suarez want to stay around much longer? Big season lies ahead which will hopefully see us move a step closer to bringing back the good times. In the words of Michael Jackson... this is it.

PS. Just another pointless thread

Not at all - it's interesting question and one which worries me greatly

Whilst I think top 4 might be achievable my personal view is that we're unlikely to get there until some one better than Comoli comes in to take chaege of our transfers

Ther fees paid for Carol and Henderson are as unjustifiable as our failure to get a left back, defenseibve midfielder and centre back

A back-up striker better than N'Gog wouldn't harm either

Why on earth did FSG hire him (comoli?)

He's living up to his reputation as an awful negiotiater

doom and gloom!

Lets wait and see. Kenny and Comolli are building a team not just for one season but for the future! Have patience boys!

Am afraid the whole Club is living on past reputation from the enormous History which boggs us down each season, the weight of expectation from most of our fans which we can never live up to and a manager purely and simply only appointed because of who he is and what he done 20 odd years ago. I go along with the post though, massive season and if we dont qualify for the Champions League the beginning of the end for the Club as we know it.

I don't think it as bad as that RED NS, I think we have enough reputation as you put it to last outside the top 4 another season. It gets more and more competitive every year and sure if we finish outside we have to rely on finding gems or taking a risk on the suarez's of the world, or stump up more cash like city did. But i don't think we are facing into the abyss just yet.

Well Manchester City will continue to progress they can't fail with the money behind if Machini fails another top manager will be brought in. That leaves us fighting it out with Aresnal. Thats not pessimism that is the hard facts. If we fail to oust Arsenal then the consequences are probably many many years of average seasons where a good cup run or qualifying for the Europa is all we have. In a way we have had a bit of a false situation over the last 10 years when there was a fixed top four because of lack of competion. Now there is that competion and we have a top 3 and any from 3. Not good especially as we still await the long term plans of the club from JH.

Well, what You guys have forgotten to mention is that we from next year have FIFA's new fair play rules to deal with.

That certainly means City et al can't continue signing players at the same pace they have been doing so far.

They need to show a positive financial result, which they will have very big problems achieving!

Here we go the rant line for manic depressives.

Red NS did Kenny Dalglish bully you at school?
You really have it in for him

Yanks dont do sentiment, he got the job cos the results, atmosphere and team morale improved hugely under his leadership.

Wonder if he could do the same on here.
Now that would be his greatest achievement.

Haha . This is one of the better negative threads if that makes sense
