King Kenny in the house. Lets hope he makes the difference and we start on that winning run

[Geordie Ahmed]

So King Kenny is the messiah?

I find it a tad ironic that the Liverpool fans are salivating over this appointment yet they were mocking us for the Keegan appointment, using the terms messiah

actually no one saying he is the messiah but he is better than that mong hodgson. thank **** he has left the useless racist little englander.. Kenny is one of us and is the only option till the end of season available. He is a temporary appointment so far and he almost guarantees us not getting relegated. For the first time since Rafa left have we seen our team trying to make tactical changes and lovely to see someone having the balls to pull a big name off.. There is also a huge difference between Keegan and Kenny i.e. one is a club legend who won titles both as a player and manager and also with another team.. Hodgson has done considerable damage already with selling Aquilani and buying rubbish like Poulsen, Jones, Konchesky.. I hope that Kenny could some how convince Aquilani or Juve get into some difficulty because it doesnt look likely that we will get him back..

You would never have got relegated under Hodgson - it may well have turned out to be a poor season BUT it would not have ended in relegation

I dont see the difference really between Keegan and Kenny

Keegan was a legend for us, as a player and as a manager

Also you have to consider that Kenny flopped big time in his last job (not including his brief time at Celtic) and he last managed over a decade ago

seriously, you did not see us we would have got relegated.. We lost to blackpool, northampton, wolves at home and lost almost all aways. I think you have been taken in by the southern press.

As for Keegan and Kenny there is no comparison in their respective CVs. Keegan never won a title with any team he was with and took a break from the game. Kenny on the other hand has been to every game we have played and knows the player having been involved with the club.

Keegan did great for you but ultimately did not win any silverware whilst in his pomp as a manager.

and you have managed it again with the messiah

Was reading some old threads and noticed this post, found it funny because it turns out he isn't much better than Hodgson and he is actually a bigger racist (well kinda )

Kenny started off so well that people thought he was a miracle worker, this season has reminded every Liverpool fan of the progress that has been made since Gillett and Hicks left (We were 4 hours from Administration)

Granted, Kenny isnt doing a flawless job, but being Kenny theres always disagreement where some fans think hes untouchable and some fans still hold grudges over events that happened in the past whether they be at Newcastle or Celtic. His record and signings are there to be looked at but to put him in the same bracket as Hodgson is IMO an aberration – he should be judged on the situation he inherited from Hodgson, not the one where we were regular Champions League qualifiers until last season.

This season, in the Premier League at least, he’s doing roughly the same as last season and much better than Hodgson. The honeymoon period is definiteley over, he had some money to spend in the summer, albeit not without having to prune the wage bill. However it can be noted that Gerrard and Suarez have been out for long stretches meaning they have only played together a couple of times.

Kenny has taken us to League Cup victories over Stoke (away), Chelsea (away) and Manchester City (away), even if it is a cup that is held in low esteem, those are never easy games.

Our home record has been surprisingly poor (albeit whilst still remaining unbeaten), the overall record is still pretty good.

We are heading in the right direction, but not at 100MPH . Playing good football and creating chances hasn’t been a problem, but finishing them off has.

Also you have to consider that Kenny flopped big time in his last job

Not really, not in hindsight and what has happened with newcastle in the last ten years.

Kenny Dalglish is the only british manager to have won the premier league apart from alex ferguson

You would never have got relegated under Hodgson - it may well have turned out to be a poor season BUT it would not have ended in relegation

Hodgson was out of his depph

errrr yes actually - stuff hindsight and what others have did

Kenny Dalglish took a title challenging side and ruined them in such a short space of time, it took a while before we recovered (thanks to SBR)

Runners up in the premier league, champions league/ beating barcalona, fa cup finalists.

He didn't exactly get you relegated

How come he did not continue as manager after winning the title with Blackburn?

i don't know

I know why he quit as liverpool manager, maybe it was connected.

[Amir]

Ian Hollaway is class Interesting stat:

However, when he was last in charge of Liverpool almost 20 years ago, Blackpool were in the old Fourth Division and the times are changing as Blackpool secured their first league double over Liverpool since 1947.

But good to see Kenny stick with Kelly. I did think Kelly was a stand out performer for a sub-standard Liverpool team at OT. In time Liverpool will realize they grossly overpaid for Glen Johnson

I have a feeling they already have realized that they paid 15m too many for him.

So the King is back on his rightful throne with a new contract and ready to knock the mancs "off their perch" (In the league that is, we still have a far superior record in Europe); the obvious doubts about his managerial abilities have been questioned on this thread but I’m sure he has proven his doubters wrong.
We have already started preparing for next season with the signing of Henderson and the imminent arrivals it seems of Charlie Adam and Connor Wickham.
We also need a-
Left back
Centre back
Left winger

Our targets are –
Scott Dann
Jose Enrique
Gael Clichy
Stewart Downing
Sylvain Marveaux
Juan Mata

The owners and management team seem to know what they’re doing and I fully expect a top four finish with the squad we are assembling, ROLL ON AUGUST!

[Amir]

ready to knock the mancs "off their perch"

Love how you use our own saying now

Liverpool won't make the CL next season, the cracks started to show near the end of the season. They will do better than this season but can't see them overhauling the other four.

Would not surprise me really

Definitely not worthy anywhere close to that

Ridiculous that Henderson cost £20million whilst Sahin who is far, far superior cost half that

Udinese defender Cristian Zapata has revealed that he is close to agreeing a deal with Liverpool.

I think this could be a very good signing for Liverpool. Zapata is highly rated and is tipped to have a big future ahead of him. I remember several experts claiming that he's one of few young defenders who have big potential in them, a move to a bigger club will surley benefit him, hopefully.

Interesting to see if he adapts to the pace of PL and settles in Liverpool, also looking forward to see how much Liverpool will spent on him... Good signing if it happens.

Do LFC fans agree with Kenny here?

Liverpool's Kenny Dalglish: Stewart Downing is better than I thought Kenny Dalglish has defended Stewart Downing, describing him as a better player than he envisaged when paying £20m to sign the England international from Aston Villa, despite the winger's subdued start to his Liverpool career. Downing has yet to score or create one league goal for Liverpool since his big money move from the Midlands, although he did register his first goal for the club in the FA Cup third-round win over Oldham Athletic, and growing criticism of the 27-year-old's performances has prompted Dalglish to defend his summer signing. The Liverpool manager, who has been offered the Serbian striker Milos Krasic by Juventus, believes Downing is still adjusting to life at a higher-profile club and that it has been unfair to play the former Middlesbrough winger in several positions during his debut season at Anfield. "Stewart is a better player than I thought he was going to be," the Liverpool manager claimed. "I don't think it has been too comfortable for him either because we have played him in three or four positions, so maybe we need to look at ourselves and say we have to be fair to him as well. He is better than what I thought he was. He is quicker than what I thought he was and he is quicker than Carra [Jamie Carragher] thought he was as well."

Looks like Kenny is going senile

[BoomBoomAli]

Kenny: "Some players won't be wearing the red shirt that long if they continue playing like this."

The jury is out on Carroll, we need to get rid.

Downing and Adam need to sort themselves out too, seriously terrible performances.

[PakFan2010]

For Liverpool to become Top 4 Club.

GK: Jose Reina

RB: Glen Johnson
CB: Daniel Agger
CB: Christopher Samba (10mill)
LB: Jose Enrique

CM: Alberto Aquilani
CM: Lucas
CM: Steven Gerrard

RF: Luis Suarez
LF: Eden Hazard (£35million)

ST: Soldado (£30million)

Sell:
Carroll - £12million
Adam - £5million
Downing - £9million
= £26million

I would keep Henderson as he is young and improving.
