I personaly dont think he really wanted Dalglish, I think he only appointed him as a sentimental gesture to the fans for what we had been through under the last ownership regime. The way things are panning out I personaly think we will have a new manager before the start of next season, a manager who John Henry really wants and trusts to spend his money and also who will dovetail perfectly with Comolli, just think with the way we have spent the money Henri knows its always bad business to make decisions based purely on sentiment as he has found out to his cost.


I think the people we signed this summer that you're thinking of had more to do with Comolli than Dalglish, and they fit Henry's business model. Young players, english, and with a good "chances created" record. Carroll, Henderson, and Downing, the big money signings everyone has moaned about fit that model, FSG's model. So calm down, and do your homework. Whether Damien or Kenny picked them, they were certainly chosen with Henry's model in mind. And it certainly hasn't "cost" him anything yet. We won't know what it cost until the end of the season, but 10 games into the season and we're a point from 3rd, miles ahead last season. The team (an almost completely new squad of players) is now gelling and the two who everyone suspected to be the most poor (Carroll and Henderson) have put together a string of solid performances. You are so quick to definitively declare that they are poor and will be poor at the end of the season, you don't even considering the possibility that Kenny (one of the most successful managers the premier league has seen in the past 20 years) may know a bit more about football than you or me, or that we might actually continue to play half decently. I don't care if you disagree with me, but I think it's really arrogant to categorically dismiss everyone else's views as totally wrong and naive, and to declare that we suck and will finish 6th, as though it is some indisputable fact. The future is not known. All you have is your OPINION, which is no better than mine or anyone else's.

VDV usually plays in behind the striker so didn't count him. Haven't really seen much of Sandro but good back up as well as Kranjcar. Huddlestone, Pienaar and hot prospects like Livermore, Rose and Townsend

Spurs are undoubtedly a decent team. But Harry's signings are hit and miss and tend to be of the older generation, therefore they will continelly need to spend to keep up. Bale, Modric, Lennon as mentioned were actually bought by Commolli. Spurs will need more investment next year as Fridel, King, VDV, Parker, break into their 30s and 40s(Friedel) and Adebayor goas back to City. Basically they are running to stand still. HR is not the magician we preceive him to be, This info is from Spurs fans by the way who see too much short term fixing. Now Spurs are linked with Rio and Owen, that is not progressive in my view.

Liverpools starting team on saturday could play for 3 years before any outfield player reaches 30, this is a team for the future and has along way to go.

Not really CP because Bale, Modric, Sandro, Pienaar, Dawson, Walker, Assou-Ekotto, Kaboul, Gomez, Pavelchenko etc still have plenty of years left yet. And most of them players are only going to get better

hang on there, Pienaar? Gomez? Pavlechenko? Kaboul? going to get better i am not so sure. I would be surprised if those players remain on Spurs next season. Only Pienaar is not linked with a move away and he hardly plays. Walker and Ekotto I like though. They have problems and Harry will be desperate for the England Job in the after the summer champs. Alot of change at Spurs next season

Spurs played some incredible football yesterday. They look worringly impressive, and have some great pace in their side that stretch defences. That's something we lack as henderson and downing have both been afraid to get at defences.
