The history books will say we won the title and FA cup what the history books don't tell you we went from the best team in the world to a top 6 side. Dalglish did that and thats why he quit in 1991 before the ship hit the rocks. It was not Hillsborough he says so in his book. But also we could see he was cracking up in the press conferences well before April 89. Had you been around back then you would have the same view as me. What is happening then is happening now and if you are satisfied with this season then you are no Liverpool fan as I know it.


I havent read Dalglish' book, but if he felt that way, and is feeling that way now, then presumably he will be honest enough to step down. That isnt for us to determine though is it?

No but its for us to opinionate on his performance. We are customers of LFC. Listen to Radio City (are you from Liverpool area?) tommorrow before the match and listen to what people think the majority has no confidence in Dalglish.

Stanley you are so wrong, the only fans I who are not supportive are those on websites. I am a local fan and season ticket holder and yes people are disapointed but let me stress this they are not turning on the manager. Far from it, whether that continues I don't know but whilst we are still in the cup there is a buzz around the city.
Tomorrow we will be able to gauge the feeling as a mass and i will report back. A convincing win and faith will probably be restored, another toohless defeat and yes Stanley your predictions may come true.

However Stanley i must say that your feelings about Dalglish are based on a man who was 38yrs old and not the 61yr old now in charge. He did make mistakes in 89/90 but if you also read about the club we were struggling financially and compromises were made. UTD went on a 3yr spending spree and it paid off, we just couldn't compete and the squad became too old.

CP1972 they still change Dalglish at Anfield. But everyone I know is either doubful or like me wants him gone. The guys I go to the game with are now all wanting him gone wheras begining of the season this was not the case. You are obviously from Liverpool listen to the phone in's on R city after the game. I will be at Anfield tommorrow and if its like the Wigan game you can hear every word the players shout. Don't you think that says something the crowd have given up in all my years I have never known the club in such a mess and this is not Dalglish's fault this has been coming for 30 years. Its just a pity at our lowest point we have such a poor manager had he made good signings with that money he was entrusted with and managed the team half competantly we might be in a better position. If you think we are going to be top 4 next season with this set up you must be mad, no chance at all.

Sorry one correction this is Dalglish's fault in that he destroyed the team between 89 and 91. We have had ample time to put it right but the fact is he did that damage for which we still have not recovered. He has now come back to finish us off it seems.

The other thing when the kop chant Dalglish are they chanting it for Dalglish the 2012 manager or Dalglish generally. They chanted Dalglish in Evans, Houillers and Rafa's reigns on occassions and he is built into the songs such as fields of anfield road. Which is why if we have to sack him its going to be hard for some fans emotion wise. Not a good situation for the club to be in.

It is of little relevance to me what other people think. I am quite happy to trust my own judgement of the situation and to have my own point of view on what I think I should be doing as a fan at this difficult time. I also have my own opinions as to the bigger picture and as to what our expectations should realistically be at this stage in his reign. I think we have come up short in the league this season, but i also think top 4 was unrealistic when you look at the established sides we are in competition with. i think there are numerous reasons for this, and based on my analysis of dalglish's management to date, i have faith that he can improve us, and that many of the players he has signed can improve, next season.

I am a liverpool football club customer. that really has a ring to it. i cheer them on because i am a customer. ha ha. frown
