D.L.S.
Have massive respect for your posts and knowledge.
Perhaps Im too gnarled in the tooth ... but I too really believe and wish for everything you say.
If we can get rid of the deadwood and make some clever purchases then, I do have the faith, that we can go for the title in 2011-12.
That is irrespective of the City money.
I can speculate on Chelsea being an ageing team and I can further speculate on the Mancs being bound up with money constraints.
What everyone is saying is that however we hope and we dream ...... the actual ability to come first with half the season gone would be near miraculous..if not near impossible and I am sure you will still believe we can ..... until that is a facht ...that we cant.
No matter what Kenny's skills are, everything needs to be turned around and Liverpool FC was a f*..ing big tanker going in the wrong direction. It doesnt stop or turn around in just five minutes.
I have supported this club from the sixties. I may be physically sick if Utd do get No. 19 especially in a season when everyone has been misfiring.
When you look to other clubs to prevent it and get miserable because the Chavs dropped another game or the Arse drew. Oh Come on?
When you cant do the Prediction League on the forum because with Hodgson how could you place a positive score...there was nothing positive about him.
I was brought up in the Shankly era as was Billy and other forum members.
We all Know Shankly's creed of "First is first and ..... "
That is how he built our dynasty.
However. Shankly was a visionary but not a dreamer.
His background meant he came from the real world.
That is what we are dealing with. The Real World.
I wouldn't be happier than to win league in May. If KD got us into a CL place in just half a season then he has worked a miracle.
Ive already posted that I believe Kenny can do with half a season .... what Rafa couldn't do and Hodgson was never going to do in a whole one.
Be patient.
I.K.W.T.
