Yes and where did Dalglish come into the equation?

When Dalglish was in charge people would make excuses for his incompetence by blaming Comolli for the signings.
I just want to add a bit more to my conspiracy case by adding something else...aswell as the dream team of Gerrard and Carragher taking over as manager and assistant don't rule out Dalglish playing a part as an advisor much like Bob Paisley did when Dalglish took over as player manager all those years ago.

I hope you live near a grassy knoll

i take it your not buying into my theory then... if you look at it from the correct way which is from a business point of view what better way can you think of to keep getting fans to put there hands in there pockets than to bring in ex legends to manage the club. If Klopp leaves I can't think of any other realistic manager we could bring in that would keep fans engaged and spending can you which after all what it's all about.

What about winning something?

Was just searching around for what some of the names of the 70's are up to now and found this which made me think of discussions on here about how long clubs can last on past glories - going by this it doesn't stop when a generation is no more.


'PETER LORIMER watched a group of young Leeds United supporters dance out of Craven Cottage in midweek and knew something just wasn’t right.

But it had nothing to do with the fact they were celebrating only a 1-1 draw at Fulham or even that they appeared to have been underage drinking.

What alarmed the Elland Road and Scotland legend more than anything was the songs he heard the teenage fans singing in west London.

“I heard these lads chanting about being champions in Europe,” he said in reference to the Yorkshire side’s two Inter-Cities Fairs Cup successes.

“These lads were about 16-years-old and looked as if they’d had a beer or two too many but they were singing about Terry Cooper and Billy Bremner. That was our era, the mid-1970s.

“We’re 40 years down the line. That IS the history of the club. That is where we made our name and the reputation of Leeds United was formed.

“They’ve got nothing to sing about nowadays. There are no new songs because we haven’t been successful. I was thinking to myself, ‘these lads wouldn’t have been born in that era’ but they were still signing about them.'

How do you know Klopp's hands are tied, this is not what I have heard him saying. Seriously, I would like to know where did you get that info

I doubt there's many managers out there that get to say what they want and keep their jobs..I dunno Vish.

Klopp can go to Barca now if he wanted with Luis Enrique not performing to expectation and that is one club. Do you really think keeping his job is a main concern for him? Common Lumba. At least if we were negotiating and missed to sign, I could assume he is not getting support, but he has said a number of times that his targets are not for sale. He is being choosy, meaning this season is not important for trophies, not even trophies, he is only building for the future and anything good will be a bonus. I personally think he is just too cautious and doesn't want to take any risks, he has probably been given time as Fergie, he probably has a plan and wants to stick to it.

Not happy about this as I think he should have brought 2-3 players in this window otherwise can't see us qualify for CL. However, we have I think only 16 games to play in this season, so you never know.

My feeling is this is what is happening and has nothing to do with FSG or lack of funds as their detractors would have us believe.

I, however, am not that bothered by this approach. He's a top manager and knows what he's doing. You said he could have his pick of clubs which says to me that you think the same so why doubt his method so much especially as you said that this season isn't important for trophies and anything this season would be a bonus?
