pap Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 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.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 they've spent on similar levels as Man City. Man city net spend since season 08/9 = £400m Liverpool net spent for same period = £28m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 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.

LGTL Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SO5 4BW Posted 26 March, 2012 Share Posted 26 March, 2012 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!

Red Alert Posted 1 April, 2012 Share Posted 1 April, 2012 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.

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.

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.

Crazy Diamond Posted 22 April, 2012 Share Posted 22 April, 2012 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.

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
