So,he bought a club,he got a worldwide brand for his money,one which he can sell whenever he wants.Unless he is willing to move on the stadium issue and invest in the squad without recouping quickly,then the club will hover around the 4th to 8th position no matter who is in charge.




Keep your smart arse remarks to yourself,I am not interested in childish remarks.

Don't be silly - no one would call for the head of a Liverpool manager doing well in the league.

Another ignorant comment,well done.

Spurs have a smaller stadium than us, so I don't think that is the only issue.
Newcastle and Arsenal have spent less money than us, so I don't think that is the only issue either.

I agree that JH should press on with the stadium, but I don't think throwing money around is necessarily the best policy. It's not just about spending a load of dosh. It's about buying smart. Newcastle, Arsenal, and Spurs have demonstrated that it is possible to compete without having a stadium that seats 60,000 or spending money like City. If we do spend a load of money, it should be spend on scouts, to make sure that we never buy players like Downing, Adam, Henderson, and Carroll ever again.

no one has or is dismissing the cups i for one is very happy that the club took the cups serious , but i wish liverpool and dalglish would have took the league seriously after the millions spent now we are spiraling towards relegation good job there is only 4 games left or liverpool would have been in bigger trouble than liverpool are now .

You must not have been paying attention during those years if you thing Benitez was at times "okay" and at times "crap". I can post the list of milestones the club achieved under his stewardship again if you need reminding. Let's just say "qualified for the CL 5 times out of 6" - because that immediately makes him a better manager than anyone all the way back to Paisley.

I agree and don't forget he took us to the final at Anthens and battered AC milan and the semi against chelsea

look benitez done well and then its went bad simple as that he spent millions of pounds and he left the club with a squad the club is still reeling from because dalglish felt he had to spend millions of sub-standard english players to replace the dross benitez left , too much has gone now liverpool might never recover and 1 or 2 cup wins wont change that , it is certain the cups results are a blip because the league form is the real liverpool £60 million pound strike force 12 league goals between them .

Lads around 18 months ago we where on verge of administration! Huge debts and hicks and Gillette in charge! We had a squad of poulsons ngogs to name a few! We have come along way in that time and a lot has changed! We may be havin a shocking season on league but I feel we are in good position to solve that with further summer investment ! Arsenal Chelsea need reinvest ! Newcastle over achieved and spurs most likely will lose Harry so it could be huge summer and not as gloomy as it looks now! I do think with Lucas back and looked of Adam Henderson etc now realising size of job it is to play for us they will improve ! Glass is not always half empty

This is the sort of comment I find baffling... and ridiculously disingenuous. Some of Liverpool's signings didn't quite gel in their first season... not in the league anyway... that doesn't mean that they should all be scrapped or that the club is now incapable of good transfers. We've had a poor run in the league... not converting chances into goals and domination into wins. That doesn't mean we didn't take the league seriously... what a ridiculous statement. All teams take the league seriously and all teams want to win it or place high. Dalglish didn't get it right in his first season in full charge... as 99.9 % of managers don't. He's one game shy of 100% in the cup competitions, which some would say bodes well in our development, but has fallen sadly short in the league. But to sit in your armchair and retrospectively say we didn't try or take it seriously is rubbish. Those players are desperately trying to bundle the ball into the net most games... but they are just short in the finishing department. This suggests that strengthening is needed in key areas... not the endless hand-wringing and defeatist talk heard on this forum. We're gonna come 8th in the league... it's bad, we have to do better, but it's not the end of the world. There are positives to take into next season no matter who is manager.
