I think Kenny is exactly what your club needed, for so long under several managers you just couldn't match the top 4 teams, not saying you are now but you seem to be on a much better direction than previous
Man City has taken your spot so that is why you are 5th
Also hear Kenny will be given 100 million for players in Summer, plus your after Ashley Young for 50 million, nice....
Now if Moyes had that kind of money we would rip the prem to shreds, his ability in the transfer market is unbelievable, he is without doubt the best man manager in the prem, even Alex F said he wanted Moyes as his replacement, if that happens I will remove football from my life forever!!!

I must agree, Moyes and money - that would be a formidable combination.
Is finally given the Liverpool managers job.

He had it 20 years ago and walked out for 'health reasons' while Liverpool were top of the league.
8 months later he joined Blackburn with all their millions, and soon guided them to the Premiership title, yet still he is regarded by most Liverpool fans as 'King'!
I don't understand it.

Those who attended the press conference to confirm Dalglish's resignation as Liverpool manager in February 1991 recall a man seemingly broken in spirit, head bowed and at the end of his tether.
Dalglish, who admitted to attending up to four funerals a day in the aftermath of Hillsborough, became ill with shingles in the autumn of the following season, brought on by the nerves and stress of everything he had witnessed.
It is believed he wanted to quit then, but was persuaded to stay in control, and Liverpool that season went on to win their last league title.
But by February 1991 Dalglish had decided to go. It was in the middle of a famous trilogy of FA Cup matches with Everton, the first a 0-0 draw at Anfield, the second a remarkable 4-4 draw at Goodison Park.
Two days later, February 22, Liverpool announced his departure. Friends who had spoken to him the previous night had no inclination of what was about to happen.
His daughter Kelly, then a teenager and now a TV journalist, said later: 'He only told my mum the night before, he just couldn't go on doing the job.
The strain shows as Dalglish announces his resignation as Liverpool manager in 1991.
'All the emotion and stress of Hillsborough, all the weight of responsibility he felt, had taken its toll. Hillsborough was devastating for dad.'
Respected local journalist John Keith, now working for City Talk radio, recalls those days and recent conversations with Dalglish over his departure and the aftermath.
He said: 'I asked him recently how he felt at the time, and the impression I got was that he was disappointed Liverpool did not ask him back.'
In the short time before Graeme Souness' appointment as manager, Ronnie Moran had held the reigns in a caretaker capacity, and it was felt that Dalglish had felt better about his situation and may well have regretted his actions.
A call to return would probably have been accepted. But it never came and the man who had won six titles as a player for Liverpool and three as manager was lost to the club. Two weeks after Dalglish's departure, defender Alan Hansen also retired from the game.
Dalglish was back in management in October of that year, winning Blackburn a place back in the top flight and then the title.
Dalglish had 18 months at Newcastle and then a spell as director of football at Celtic and a spell as manager before leaving in June 2000. His last job in football.
Only this year in the build-up to the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy has Dalglish felt able to discuss his feelings at length.
For a football man his view on that day is illuminating, when an FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest lasted just six minutes before being halted and eventually abandoned.
The crush behind Bruce Grobbelaar's goal was clear for everyone to see, the fences between fans and pitch already with stricken fans crushed against them.
If the game had not started, if it had been held up for a while to allow Liverpool fans caught in motorway traffic to get to the game, Dalglish believes tragedy could have been averted.
He said in a BBC radio interview: 'The easiest thing to do was just to put the kick-off back a bit. That's no problem for anybody.
'If the police are talking to the FA and the FA had made that call, there wouldn't have been any resentment or disagreement with the people in the dressing room, neither Brian Clough (the Forest manager at the time) or ourselves certainly.
Kenny and wife Marina attended a memorial service - along with many funerals - in the aftermath of Hillsborough.
'It's something that everybody wished had never happened but I think it's also something that nobody should forget.'
In his book, Dalglish added: 'It will always anger me that they didn't wait for the fans. There were all these people arriving late, desperate to get inside Hillsborough so as not to miss any of the game.
'Having so many hundreds of people rushing into the ground caused the terrifying crush which squeezed the life out of 96 poor Liverpool supporters.'
Players and their wives worked tirelessly at Anfield in the days after the tragedy, trying to counsel the families of victims, attending funerals on a daily basis.
Dalglish said: 'We made sure somebody with Liverpool connections was at every funeral and I think the families really respected that.
'The boys weren't obtrusive in any way, they sat back and let the families get on with the grieving but they were there, their presence was there, but they didn't need to have anybody coming up and telling them how grateful they were, they were there because they wanted to be there.
'It's terrible to think how long the crushing had been going on. It is unbelievably depressing to realise that as the players kicked off and throughout those six minutes while a football match took place, Liverpool supporters were already dying.
'I don't know how many funerals I went to. Marina and I went to four in one day. We got a police escort between them. All the funerals were harrowing.
'Marina says that at times I was difficult to live with, that I was clearly under stain. I didn't realise at the time.
'I do not know how tense I was being at home. Without my being aware of it, the strain of Hillsborough was beginning to catch up with
Understand yet?

Don't get me wrong, I understand the Hillsborough tragedy and all it entails and I'm not a fan of any other club looking to have a go at Liverpool. I was just puzzled by how he returned to management so quickly after leaving the club yet could still be idolised by it's supporters.
Having read your post I was surprised to learn that Liverpool didn't pull out all the stops to get him back.
Now that you have put me right on that front, please accept my apologies for any offence caused - none was intended.
I'll stick to my rugby in future!

No apologies necessary, I wasn't offended. I just think that Dalglish gets a lot of unfair criticism over the way he left Liverpool. For what he did after hillsborough that man deserves a knighthood, no question. There are people campaigning for it, and I hope he gets one soon.
The real cost of hillsborough was the lives lost of course, but there was also a football cost, paid by liverpool. Alan Hansen has just said that liverpool asked Dalglish back but then had a last minute change of mind, presumably when they went for Souness.
He came in and started dismantling everything, and started the real decline. If they'd have taken Dalglish back then, who knows what would have happened. Certainly Man Utd wouldn't have had things so much there own way.

Have to disagree with that....Moyes does well when has smaller funds to spend. If he has 10 mill to spend he does well, when has more he doesnt usually deliver the quality players.
If he was to be given a huge transfer kitty he would probably end up wasting it, sticking to the lower priced players he will find a couple of quality players.
He has had a team now that could realistically push for 4th place, but its not happend. He has took Everton as far as he can now.
That attitude is definitely a RED one, who has he bought for over 10 million and they have not delivered - Felaini? that was surely a rush buy with the Lescott money and maybe he doesn't live up to that price tag, he is still a key mid fielder, any more players over 10 million? you tell me
For Liverpool by far the stupidest buy was Keane, 20 million 19 games with 5 goals, selling for 12 million, that's a massive 1.6 million per goal, you would never see Moyes do something as stupid as that
Its not the view of a Red, its also the view of a lot of Everton fans.
Fellaini is very average for his price tag, Bilyaletdinov cost over 10 mill and has not been that good, Yakubu cost about 11 mill and he could have got better for that price.
Rafa did not buy Keane, he never wanted him. He was bought buy the club against Rafa's will. He was asked in an interview why did you sell a player so quickly, he said I never bought him in the first place!
That was one of the main problems with Benitez..stuborness. Keane could have been a decent player for us if he'd give him a chance. He was more interested in proving his point than winning the league that year for Liverpool, which we had a great chance of doing. I don't know why people can't see him for the phoney he was, apart from the fact that, just like Houllier, he knew what to say to get the fans on his side. Pushed all the right buttons.
