Similar sentiments have been expressed all over the press this week, especially as League Cup aside, Hodgson was a statistically better manager than Dalglish has turned out to be.

 

Really isn't that hard to work out. He has been given the time due to the fans fond memories of his former exploits. Interestingly, this week's Football Weekly podcast touches on the subject, illustrating that the level of support for Kenny in the younger generation, those with no effective remembrance of how Dalglish made his name, is much less staunch than it is for those fans who do.

 

Personally, I think he has been a disaster for Liverpool. Yes, he has won the League Cup, but that went to penalties. Could easily have been a different result on a different day. Doubt we'd be discussing Dalglish as the current manager if it had gone the other way.

He's made a right mess of that club.

 

The players he has brought in should never be playing for Liverpool, let alone at the fee's he's forked out to get them.

 

22m for Henderson, seriously? 20m for downing. are you having a laugh?

 

and the best till last - 35/36m for Andy Carroll - what the **** have you been drinking Kenny?

 

It wouldn't be too bad if he's struggled to get them going because he hasn't had the finance, but **** me - they've spent on similar levels as Man City and they have made a royal **** up which has damaged the hell out of that club.

 

A scouser made a point yesterday......A midfield of Maxi, Gerrard, Marrelies and Alqualni was at their disposal at a point last year.

 

Now they have Adam, Downing, Henderson, Kyut across the middle - that's come at an enormous transfer price as well. It's just madness. Anyone else would have been sacked if they'd spent so much but taken the club so far backwards. They're now nothing more than a top 10 team.

One the of the worst players I've ever seen in the Premier League is Jordan Henderson -and that's not even taking into account his £16m transfer fee.

 

Makes the Carroll signing look astute.

True dat, wasted £'s on average players cant argue with that!

 

However 2 cups this season (maybe) might be enough to keep his job?

would guess so

but scraping a carling cup win though...and MILES off the CL spots would be an average season at best.

I think it's brilliant. I'm struggling to think of a man I hate in football more then that complete idiot Dalglish. Harry perhaps, but then at least he isn't Scottish.

Worst thing has been his handling of the Suarez/Evra affair. Has taken the siege mentality that managers like to create to ridiculous extremes. If I was an LFC fan I'd have real problems - wanting to support the club's stance - especially against a player from their most hated rivals - but really knowing that the club, managed by their greatest-ever player, is completely in the wrong. Dalglish has been entirely responsible for this. Ferguson more than anyone has used the 'it's us against the world' thing but I think that in this case he wouldn't have defended the indefensible like Dalglish has.

Also I hate the way Dalglish is in interviews. I just want one journo to finally grow a pair and tell the grumpy Scottish ***** to learn some manners!

Top performance from them today, 11 points behind Newcastle and only 3 points above Norwich and Swansea. Pathetic league performance this season. A lad I play football with genuinely believes Downing is better then Gareth Bale and that Henderson is a better "long term" signing than Sergio Aguero. FFS.

He needs to go otherwise he'll continue to pull them down the league.

 

Because he's a dinosaur who hasn't moved on with the times.

I couldn't say for sure but it would seem to me that since they've brought back Gerrard they've been all at sea.Totally over the top player,been finished for a couple of years now.

I don't want him sacked, I want him to drag them down further first.

 

How does someone like Spearing get anywhere near a team with Champions League aspirations, he is League 1 standard at best.

Well, if he's going to be sacked - I'm now of the opinion that it should happen now.

 

Always been worried about Mr Adkins love for Liverpool FC. He'll be considerably more visible if and when we attain Prem status. Right now, I get the impression that Adkins wouldn't be a big enough "name" for them.

kenny has been very poor this season....in all respects

 

Apart from the bank balance, presumably.

 

Just desserts, in my opinion. He militated against Hodgson, got all the money that Hodgson asked for (and more) and League Cup aside, has fecked it up.

 

Looking forward to the Everton vs Liverpool derby this weekend. If he loses that, I think he'll walk.

everton are flying at the mo....I think they will do it...I hope so as I think Moyes is a superb manager

 

Camolli never turned the player with the most assists last season in the prem to a player that has NO assists this season (downing)

Everton are doing remarkably well, as they always seem to do at the tail end of the season. Moyes has done a fantastic job at Everton, especially for a guy who had the following joke made about him on his appointment.

 

Q: Why did Everton appoint Preston manager David Moyes?

A: 'Cos he knows his way to all the first division grounds!

 

From a transfer perspective the two clubs couldn't be further apart.

 

Have to say, Evertonians are way less annoying than Liverpudlians. Any sense of expectation the blue half had disappeared a long time ago.

Comolli's ineptitude can't be underestimated.

 

When he arrived at Spurs, he sacked Graham Carr, a senior scout. Graham Carr is the man responsible for bringing Cisse, Cabaye and all the other players that could well deliver Champions League football to Newcastle. Oops.

The sooner they get rid of this clown the better for them. But their fans are still oddly blinded by past glories and are saying it's the players fault.

 

Sorry, who brought in the dross? Players like Downing, Charlie Adam and Andy Caroll should not be playing for Liverpool. End of.

 

the fact he spent almost 50m on them is frightening and you have to question his sanity.

He's showing the reason why I would never want MLT anywhere near the Saints managerial hotseat. A once club legend potentially ridiculed in the press? No thanks.

 

Liverpool are shocking, I'm hoping Norwich finish above them. (For my missus's sake of course...) That said, if they do go on and win the FA Cup, which is very doable, their season would actually have been rather good!

Will have talked himself out of a job by tomorrow, I reckon.

 

 

If they can understand a word he says that is.I can't,don't understand jockspeak at all,just sounds like someone being sick in a drain to me.

They will possibly subtitle him, as they did with the film Trainspotting.

It would be the right thing to do. He's done worse in the league than Roy did for them, yet the scousers are crying for him to be given more time. It's all to do with his past history and association, and nothing to do with the fact that he's actually a pretty useless manager. He'll hold them back if he stays. Look at the amount of money he's wasted on crap ffs!

The missus would have been one of those die-hard Kenny fans, but even she's come around to the idea that he hasn't done too well. I can sort of understand the calls to give him another year, especially given our previous revolving door policy - but you're right - he hasn't made the most of the resources available to him - no matter what spin you put on it.

That's just not true though.

 

RH- Win % 41.94, no honours

KD Win % 47.95, 1 Carling cup.

 

KD may be an average manager this time around, but in what way did RH do better?

Ok, well there's very little differnce between them. They did finish higher under Roy though, I'm sure of that.

 

And isn't their current points total their lowest for 2 decades? May be wrong on that. Their home for is their worst for a long time though...

 

The biggest criticism that can be labelled at him...was that he was given around £70m+. He bought Andy Caroll, Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam and Stewart Downing with that. That's a sackable offense on it's own!! He's had a serious amount of money to spend, and OK - he's reinvested the Torres cash, but surely you'd expect your manager to invest it better than he has? He's blown it away.
