KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum how can the fans put up with these league performances

Fair enough, my worry is that the longer the club remains out of the Champions League, the further behind we will fall behind our rivals. We can't advance on or off the pitch without CL income!

To be honest I don't care who the manager is as long as were successful!

I am a Liverpool football club supporter,not how much money can LFC generate for John Henry supporter.

LFC are trying to get back to the top after being almost destroyed,there will be ups and downs along the way,until John Henry puts money into the club,it will be struggling to compete.

couldnt agree more.

the rest of your post was yet another sarcastic humourless rhetoric.

Well, like it or not, people are going to be judged based on their performances - whether they're the manager of Liverpool or fry chef at McDonalds. We were doing well enough at the end of last year, so Dalglish had our support. Things have gone badly south this year, and show no sign of abating, so his position has to be called into question. It's really not that difficult to understand, and I don't think it's necessarily symptomatic of modern supporters. People were calling for Sounness's head just as strongly as they're calling for Kenny's now. The only reason they weren't calling for Shankly's or Paisley's or Kenny's the first time around is because we were the best team in Britain back then.

Ah, silly me. I thought this was a "How Much Money LFC can Generate for John Henry" forum. That's all I'm really interested in.

Seriously, are you having trouble understanding this argument? To compete in modern football, you need money. We're not going to get to where we need to be by winning some tin pot cup. We do that by doing well in the league. John Henry has put massive amounts of money into the club already, most of which Kenny and Comolli proceeded to p*ss up a wall. JH will need to provide more cash this summer, and I'm sure he will. Whether Kenny is the right man to spend that cash is another matter.

So,the solution is to sack a manager every season?,or is it to give a manager a chance for a couple of seasons with his own players and ideas?

Just so you know,John Henry has not put massive money into LFC since they paid the initial price for the club,almost everything paid out has been recouped in player sales and wage cuts,a lot of talent has left the club in the past few seasons without being replaced,unless there is big money spent and wages which can compete with other clubs,then LFC will struggle to compete.

I'd be more than happy to give a manager a chance if I think he's deserving. But if, after more than a year in charge, we're worse off than the year before, then I'm not sure he's earned that chance.

I would be happy to put up with another season in 7th or so if I could see that we were moving forward. But the fact the majority of our players have gone backwards this season (Downing, Kuyt, Henderson, Gerrard, Reina, etc.) and the fact that our results have actually been getting worse (2nd bottom since January) does not have me very optimistic.

Ah yes, apart from that £300 million or so to wipe out our debt and save us from collapse, all he did was trim the massive amounts of fat and clear out the dead wood at the club and turned us into a profitable entity. Apart from that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show?
