this is now the biggest issue have they just thrown the towel in ? and now and ok rumours but very very strong rumours about bellamy and dalglish and him had a bust up and dalglish has bombed him out , now if this is true and i say if then its another reason for dalglish to be replaced , if dalglish goes to werner/henry and ayre and says i will leave if we get the F.A.Cup final win or lose then he might be able to keep some of his luster and status as the legend he is from the past , now never mind the cups they are great but the league form was bad before the cups really kicked in but its gradually got worse , his big money signings have been ordinary and thats being kind , carragher is finished , reina stale , gerrard only in fits a nd starts probably due to his injuries , suarez doesnt score enough and like the wigan game really annoying and nasty sometimes , and its 100% down to dalglish because if he gets the praise IE for the cups then when its bad like now he should get the stick , and he is only getting less stick because of sentiment which is a nasty ,horrible and blinkered illness thats is eating the club away .
Understand the sentiment and frustration... but don't quite agree that the lustre of Dalglish's future status all depends on winning the FA Cup. At worst he will walk away or be removed from his post at the end of the season with his status intact. There is no shame in him coming in when the club was in dire straits, righting the ship as interim manager, then having a go at the fulltime gig. Yes, the failings of his signings will continue to cloud his second tenure as manager... but many good managers have gambled on players that didn't work out... or took a while to come good. Even if we sell Adam at cut-price, get what we can for Carroll, and dry to develop Hendo and Downing (the latter has played well in many games - just needs to develop a final ball) it won't be the catastrophe that many are insisting it will be.
The team needs two or three world class signings, whether it be by Kenny or another manager, and that could make up a lot of the difference between dominating games and winning them. What people don't remember is that twists and turns happen fast in football. Look at Arsenal - written off earlier in the season - now seemingly invincible in gunning for fourth. Things do look gloomy for us at the moment - but all is not lost.
