No matter what all you people who want dalglish gone it wont happen he'll be given another season to get it right from the start and if he stalls like the beginning of this season no excuses and he will be asked to step down
Thats the worry I have. That would be a disaster scrabbling around for a new manager mid season. If you chosse to stick with Dalglish you need to give him a whole season unless the ideal manager is free nid season (unlikely) We were all told beginning of FSG reign how savvy they were. If so I expect they will have worked this situation out well before now. I don't know baseball but if I had £300m plus tied up in it I would damn sure find out and after 18 months I expect them to know what they are doing now.
Absolutely. In my line of work I deal with wealthy people who invest in businesses, and these people are obviously no where near the tycoons of FSG, but I can tell you now, within 3 months they go from knowing very little about a area to being tantamount to experts if they have a significant amount of money invested in it.
The whole FSG don't know about football thing was true maybe a year ago, but it isn't true now. They will have had experts detailing what football is all about, majour players and teams, what has worked what hasn't etc etc from day 1. Not 'knowing' about football will have been a way to buy them a little time in the eyes of fans should initial decisions go sour.
The only thing they might not 'get' is the Liverpool way, what the club means etc etc but I for one am enormously grateful for that. This pretentious our club deserves this that and the other, or us fans deserve more than other fans, and even we need a manager who 'gets Liverpool' sh!t has held our club back for over a decade. We need winners. The best players in the world now don't give a toss about all the things that had us starry eyed in our hay day. They don't care what Kenny did as manager and player 20 years ago. If we want to get to the top we need to be objective and push the club forward forgoing some of the sentiment that has ruled us for so long.
I was sad to see Kuyt essentially wave goodbye to us on Tuesday night as were those standing around me in the stand, and I thought oh I wish he could have stayed as a bit part player, but objectively he won't be a great loss if we replace him with some serious talent from abroad who many would deem a mercenary. Well sorry but that's what wins the football war nowadays. We have time to spread the 'Liverpool way' mantra when we are back near the top.
(Before anyone says, this wasn't aimed at anyone who thinks Kenny should stay as I'm sure that isn't just because of sentiment, I would hope its out of thinking he is genuinely the right man.)
