KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Reasons for Kenny to stay for next season

I struggle to see how Kenny has been a "financial disaster". His transfer deals and wage trimming have cost the club 10m. He won the league cup, has had full stadiums week after week, and has qualified for the Europa League group stage which guarantees at least a little income and at least another 6 games worth of gate and tv revenue next season. Suarez would have sold a lot of shirts.

Bottom line: Kenny Dalglish made money for the club this season.

Once you've got your head around that you'll understand that John Henry most certainly looks at this season with different eyes to yours. He wanted top 4 and we've missed that. But he also wanted improvement. Prior to Jan 1 we had that. He would have understood that 1 season is too short for a manager to rebuild a squad and have it ticking over smoothly, and what unravelling of the squad that has happened was to be expected if the team couldn't gel. Some players need review, but they've only been truly disastrous since the window closed. You can only play the hand you've been dealt.

I'm not trying to make excuses for Dalglish, because he's as culpable as the players - his tactics and team selection have been baffling in games we've gone on to lose or draw without threatening. He couldn't even get us to play like Liverpool at Anfield.

But we have shown occasional signs of devastating build-up play, and that must be encouraging for the owners, just as our second only to Man City goals conceded defensive record should strengthen their belief that Kenny has got some things right (rather than nothing). We also ended a 6 year trophy drought, and are in the FA Cup quarter finals. Unless we finish 8th or worse, there are probably enough positives for FSG to retain Dalglish in some capacity.

judge kd on net spend

After he has sold Adam, Carrol henderson and downing ...

If kd is still manager come next season and he has not addressed the weak areas in the starting 11, never mind the average squad full of players with average/poor ability, then I can only see one thing happening come Oct, Nov,
results the same as this year,

Fans calling for kd to.b sacked

Lfc scouts have been scouting/keeping a eye on javi martinez form since 2009,
R they waiting for this top quality player to.lay a golden egg before they make a offer for him.

Ie rafa wanted to.sign Barry n sell xabi
Kd signed Adam ahead of players like javi m, cabaya, etc etc

Absolutely cracking post enjoyed reading every part of it.

Good post Kop Prophet I don't think Kenny is incapable of signing good players in fact I don't think any manager is incapable of that. However his signings have been extraordinarly poor and excepting Enrique and Coates maybe. The other four I feel will never make it for Liverpool and I cannot see any of them being at the club in two years time. Carroll in particular was an error of judgement of historic proportions. Wheras Kenny has made them play well in some games in an equal number they have been dreadful of which last weekend was one example. Others may disagree but I cannot see what he is building and where he is going I can only see a major rebuilding if we are to have a chance of fourth place because this team is lacking in quality in fact I am struggling to recall a Liverpool team ever so lacking in quality you maybe have to go back pre Shankly days.

I agree with you on all but one thing, souness team was very poor.

Debatable but yes Souness team was poor but we are in that status back then we had some good youngsters coming through a certain R Fowler being one of them. Maybe todays youngsters might be good and I thinking of going to Langtree Park wed night against Ajax.

souness brought through , fowler, macmanaman, rob jones , jamie redknapp and put in the structure for the michael owen's and steven gerrard's to come through yes he made big mistakes to much too soon but and was rightly sacked in the end but he did win the F.A.Cup .

bristol city mate

yes mistakes said that , but lest we forget the benitez era , barnsley, reading , burnley, havant and waterlooville .
