It isn't self-named but it's quite clear the media, twats they may be who insist it's some sort of tag you gave yourselves, know that you actually do have an excellent and committed fan base.

Interpolic Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 King Kenny Dalglish's reign must be short or Liverpool will become like Newcastle King Kenny will not save Liverpool: Dalglish is a relic from the past when what Liverpool need is a vision for the future. The impact he has will be immediate and represents something of a short-term masterstroke by the club's American owners in terms of cementing their own popularity. At a stroke, the supporters have been appeased by the return of one of the idols of yesteryear at a club where the power of history runs deep. Attendances dropped off alarmingly under Roy Hodgson but they will flock to Anfield again hoping to see further evidence of renewed togetherness and spirit that emerged in Sunday's FA Cup defeat at Manchester United. Dalglish could prove very successful in restoring order where chaos has reigned and lifting the morale of beleaguered players in the short term. But he doesn't want to be there short-term. Dalglish feels he has unfinished business both in the Premier League and at Liverpool. By his own admission, he left Liverpool prematurely in 1991 due to stress-related illness with the club champions and doubtlessly feels he has a point to prove after being overlooked for Hodgson last summer. Of course, publicly he claimed on Monday he would be happy to step aside at the end of the season but were Dalglish to be remotely successful, the momentum behind his candidature would be unstoppable. And herein lies the problem. Liverpool are in a right mess with an outdated infrastructure, perilous finances and with a substandard squad heavily reliant on a handful of individuals while the expansion vital to their ability to compete is frustrated as their new stadium remains on hold. This is Anfield. Liverpool need a complete overhaul and such is Dalglish's love for the club, he may be unwilling to consign everything to the scrapheap and start again. He turns 60 in March and a younger man is required to commit a large part of his life to rebuilding a once great institution — Dalglish's role must be limited to that of caretaker and then principal cheerleader otherwise the club will not escape the vicious cycle. If things continue on their present course, Dalglish will be in charge as Manchester United usurp Liverpool's record of 18 League titles and finally “knock them off the f***ing perch”, as Sir Alex Ferguson put it. That record is symbolic of their present malaise — desperately clinging to past glories to avert focus from the current ignominy. Perhaps once that record is lost can the need for wholesale reform be admitted to all at Anfield. Liverpool are in danger of becoming the new Newcastle, whose fans take great pride in their insularity but insult the rest of us by claiming no one has the same passion for their club or understands their plight. The answer doesn't always lie within and Dalglish's appointment at Liverpool smacks of sentimentality akin to Kevin Keegan's ill-fated return to St James' Park. Choosing a manager, albeit with an impressive record, who has not been in the game for a decade can only be construed as a bad footballing decision. It is a bonus that Dalglish knows the club's academy players well but it is hard to imagine the Glaswegian is au fait with the intricacies of the modern game, with more agents, scouts and image consultants than ever. Liverpool's squad are more internationally diverse than 20 years ago and tactically the game is arguably a more complex animal. In a way, I hope he proves the sceptics wrong as his success would be the sort of romantic story that makes football the sport we love — a former icon as both player and manager returns to his old haunt to lift the now crestfallen club back to the big time. It would perhaps be the ultimate fairytale but Liverpool need a reality check. Their malaise is dire and deep rooted and someone with fresh ideas must be given the time and freedom to transform the club. Dalglish can play an important role in the next six months, convincing Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina, among others, that the situation can improve while restoring pride to those suffering Reds on Merseyside. But then he must step aside. Liverpool rightly respect their past but they must learn from it and move on otherwise it will consume them. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-sport/football/article-23913227-king-kenny-dalglishs-reign-must-be-short-or-liverpool-will-become-like-newcastle.do The usual tripe basically, but it's just so badly written it's untrue.

"If that raises the spectre of Dzeko being disinclined to adjust to the fast and physically demanding intensity of Premier League life, and maybe even proving to be an expensively imported flop to rival Andriy Shevchenko (who has long been his hero), Mateja Kezman and Jon Dahl Tomasson, reassurance for Mancini comes from a perhaps unexpected corner." What did Tomasson cost us, 3 mill? What about the likes of Forlan, Owen, Jo. Just 3 off the top of my head who cost a lot more than Tomasson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an article with the same players mentioned in one of yesterdays papers to be fair, I think Tomasson has one of the highest cost per goal figures in PL history. Didn't get to read the article properly though, just glanced at it as someone else was reading but that was the gist of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hardy_Bucks Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 To be fair to JDT circumstances at the club just after he signed dictated he would struggle, Shearer injured, Ferdinand sold, Tino only there half a season and then Ian Rush all forcing Tomasson to step up and fill more senior boots as a young player in his first season in England. There was no doubt his class as the preseason in Dublin showed, but sure, hardly like journalists to bother taking the time to actually put their brains in gear!
