I think that our manager has a pedigree for success, he's currently building a team which he believes will win the Premier league which he has done with 2 Premier League teams.

I think he has the man management skills as well as the tactical nouse and experience to do it, we gave Rafael Benitez 5-6 years to achieve what he could and now people are planning to give Kenny a year when he spent last season by improving our league standing by 12 positions.

I think that Liverpool fans are far too fickle and i think its an absolute disgrace, maybe im just nostalgic but i remember when we were reffered to as the best most loyal fans in the land and now were no better than Chelsea fans. Win two games in a row?? Were a shoe in for Europe were gonna top the league next year??

Lost 2 games in a row?? were a disgrace, sack the manager sell the team. You know what? why not burn anfield to the ground and start again.

We have a sold back 4, great staff, owners who appear to give a sh1t, two great centre mids in Lucas and Gerrard, a world class second striker and another striker who's proving what he can do when given a chance. we need 2 wingers and a poacher, i think alot of people on here have to tak e a long hard look at themselves.

This isn't entirely directed at you AC but just people on here in general, remember who you support, what it means to support them and wise up

I think Martin O'Niell was the wrong man for the job for much the same reasons as Roy Hodgson was. Good at keeping a team competitive, not good at winning more than 50% of his games.

Owners who give a sh*t really how come you know that? Kenny proven pedigree emm maybe he won the title 3 times with liverpool but he took over when liverpool were dominating english football and with a well established backroom Roy Evans and Ronnie Moran plus Bob Paisley advising from the sidelines. But he did do extremely well for a 3 to 4 year period then the club disintegrated. Thereafter it gets mixed Blackburn were the first club to have megabucks with no competation but he did win the title then once again it fell apart then poor spells at Neecastle and Celtic then out of the game for a decade. So that sounds a mixed record to me. And who is this striker who's proving himself when given the chance? If you are referring to Andy Carroll then you must be crazy to thing that is a return on £35m. Being a loyal fan mate is not being positive through anything at all if it was then we would still be getting behind Roy Hodgson. Being a loyal fan is supporting the club e.g whats best for the club. And in that its a matter of opinion. Which is where forums come in.

I think it's a bit naive to think that what we say here will affect who gets the job or how Kenny will make decisions. We are a microcosm of fans talking to other fans. We aren't going to convince the owners, the board, or Kenny of anything here.

Martin O'Neil is a very good manager, with a proven track record, however I think he is 100% committed to buying only British players.

Is football now only about winning at any cost? Hopefully not. Yes, of course the aim is still to win and not be satisfied with being 2nd best or worse. But I'd like to think there's still space in the game to win and retain a bit of romance, idealism... let the heart determine certain things rather than just the head.

In this respect, appointing KK was a no brainer. He wanted the job, he's passionate about the club, he's a living legend, he maintains a link with the halcyon days of the boot room and all the success that came with it. Nothing could be better than KK succeeding... and the only way such a dream could come true is by giving KK a chance. Otherwise we would never have known. We would've died wondering and that would have been a shame.

Imagine if he pulls it off? A living legend of the club puts us back in the frame for the big prizes and knock Fergie off his perch? We just had to give it a chance. I may be a dreamer... but I'm sure I'm not the only one. whistle

Winning under someone like Martin O'Neill would just not be the same. If KK doesn't pull it off then yes we will have to find a fresh face to ressurect our fortunes, but at the time I think it was worth a go with KK and I still hope he can pull it off. The only question now is how long time he should get.

Football is a ruthless commercial business. I have worked for American companies they don't fool around if you don't deliver. We fans forget its not our club its John Henry's club we are but paying customers. You can dream all you want (have a horlicks on me) but unless Kenny delivers he will be off you mark my words.
