yes souness failed but the rot was started by dalglish .

By rot you mean players reaching the end of their Careers?

look at the true liverpool greats paisley and shankly when great players came the end they got chased , paisley did it more than anyone IE smith, hughes, ray kennedy , phil thompson even dropping dalglish because his form dipped badly , shankly got rid of hunt, saint john , yeats, lawrence in one cull because thats what great managers do , even ferguson down the years did it , but dalglish didnt do it and the team festered .

The club stood still while the face of football was changing Faz

Where would we be now without the expensive Dalglish experiment? Would we now be a lot further on? Yes we are joint top in early Oct encouraging but thats all and last time I looked we were not in europe which seems to be accepted whereas just a few years ago would have been unthinkable.

So it did but Dalglish was a part of that apathy.

The 'if it ain't broke,don't fix it' attitude left us behind.

correct but if dalglish had done his job he would have seen this , souness tried and failed to move the club forward with his signings but failed , but souness did change the way the team trained IE moving the team to melwood instead of busing the team to and from anfield , souness gets the blame for the boot room going which is wrong because it was removed to build a press room for euro 96 which anfield never had , look souness won the F.A.Cup but ultimately failed , but the rot had set in from dalglish who started the rot .

The direction a club takes is ultimately down to the vision of the owners.

not back then it was down to dalglish who the team bought no issues with money then , but i do agree john smith and peter robinson had no vision of the future , but it was down to dalglish he was club manager not just team manager .
