Firstly I don’t know what goes on within the hierarchy of LFC. But then neither do any of you so but we have forum for thoughts ideas so let’s start from there.

I believe my absolute worst fear is about to be released that is Liverpool are about to become a zombie club for the next 18 months. We will tick over more or less where we are now until the owners enact their plans. Commercially it makes a lot of sense the long term plans either don’t exist or are not yet finalised. Until they are we can’t appoint a new manager and Dalglish and his team will have to be paid off. This does not make sense in these circumstances.

All the press reports are that we have small transfer funds this summer or none thats stacks with the situation above.

FSG are known to be angry over the return on the £114m and want Dalglish to get them to work another reason for him to stay your mess Kenny you sort it.

So we tick along next season until either the plans are unveiled or FSG decide to cut and run and sell when the market is better. So that’s FSG’s financial strategy sorted but where does this leave the fans next season do we in effect now support a zombie club?

And how do you feel about paying £800 season tickets and buying merchandise on this basis? Will Koptalk spend the next 18 months talking about this situation? In 45 years as a Liverpool supporter I have never had so little hope for the future.

What seems to me is yet again no-one is willing to take the bull by the horns and make a decision to move the club forward. What we usually do is wait until the powers that be have no choice.

FSG are making changes as we have seen with Commoli and now Ian Cotton but will they have the guts to get rid of a failing manager who is kept in the job due to past glories from over 20 years ago.
A year ago every newcastle fan wanted rid of Mike ashley after he god rid of hughton and brought in Pardew. I bet they are not complaining now.

This is the sort of leadership required.

The problem is:

Who is (realistically) available who would want to take the job on? There's no sure-fire big name in world management who would want the job to be honest. Capello? AVB? GUARDIOLA???

Don't make me [oops] laugh.

This is Kenny's mess, and quite rightly he should be left to live or die by HIS signings.

you want to be like Newcastle then? no trophies in 40+ years? be my guest off you go. This club is for winners not whinners like you. Add substance to your views if you can, fact is so many 'fans' (using the word loosely) always want what somebody else has got.

Hey Stan its all a bit doom and gloom you need to stay off the gin! Liverpool football club are in their best position for years, no money troubles no in fighting and generally a push in the right direction from tea lady to top management. The make do brigade are out of the club and top professionals are being recruited. This is a time for optimism not pesimism. Try brandy its gives you more of a warm glow!

CP1972 Real Ale’s my tipple Ship & Mitre’s the place. Anyway you are talking tosh about the club having no money troubles there’s plenty. Financing the new ground for one and transfer fees we need to buy big again after Kenny’s little mishap’s in 2011 but looks like we will be shopping at Asda. And if you think we are debt free think again it’s just been transferred to Boston head office but it’s there and will be used to measure a return for FSG in terms of cost of capital. There’s lot of myths about the debt by people who don’t really understand finance I have tried many times to explain but like talking to a hedgehog. And am glad we have professional people in from the MD to the tea lady looking forward to that. Hopefully the club might move forward so we are only 15 years behind Man Utd rather than 25 years. And as for the tea lady well that’s well overdue! Over tried to buy a cup of tea of coffee at Anfield they are so dopy behind those counters it’s not true.
