"No Man Bigger than Liverpool FC"
Many people trot out this sentiment every time a player steps.out line.
But I'm sorry this applies to the management as well KK has been terrible on many many fronts and is doing much damage to the club. He must be ousted asap.
He has lost the dressing room its plain.to see. Gerrard needs to be gone.too. way past it.
I hear this stereotypical rhetoric a lot too and it's completely pointless and unrelated to anything. Dalglish is a liverpool legend as a player and manager... and answered the call when the club was in trouble. He humbly agreed to take the job on an interim level where many "legends" would have found it demeaning. He earned the full time position and for all his mistakes has always insisted the club comes first. He knows he's not bigger than the club and doesn't claim to be. He knows his job is on the line after a poor run of league form. So why keep uttering this completely silly phrase?
We are used to your constant attack on Dalglish, which started only weeks into his campaign. You've done it incessantly under this pseudonym and under others. Why do you now have to attack Stevie Gerrard?? Why does he need to be gone? Do you realise how silly this makes you look and sound? When Gerrard is played further up the pitch he scores goals, as per his hat-trick v Everton. The reason he's ineffective recently is because he's too deep and doesn't get into the box. But you'd rather just flush him like an unwanted turd because your anemic attention span calls for it.
I've never seen such ungracious and ungrateful Liverpool fans as what I'm seeing on Koptalk right now. If it were up to you, everyone would walk alone!
Great post KP, I know we don't see eye to eye on Kenny but your bang on about some of these posts that a flying about. Gerrard isn't as good as he used to be so we need to chuck him out on his ear? What a ludicrous sentiment.
I do however think you've slightly romanticised Kenny's taking of the interim job (just my opinion), whilst a true true legend of football and particularly Liverpool, Kenny was out of the game a long time, I don't think he had the right to find it demeaning, it was a fantastic opportunity to manage a massive club that no one in his position (not having managed or played in 20 years) would have ever gotten. I don't see it quite as much as him doing us a favour as you do, I think it was a massive opportunity for a man who definitely couldn't have got that anywhere else.
Totally agree though, he fully deserved the move to permanent manager. I may seem like I'm contradicting myself in that when that move was happening my position was I don't think Kenny was the right choice as I don't see it as the club moving forward, but the results he achieved as interim...how could you not give him the job? They were incredible and thus he was fully deserving.
