Gemmill 42591 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Dalglish making a cunt of himself again. Canny obvious that whoever wrote the article really doesn't like the bloke too. Kenny Dalglish has launched an impassioned defence of his record at Liverpool, claiming he should not be judged by the club's league position alone and that kit deals are as important as victories. Despite his success in bringing Liverpool their first trophy in six years in the shape of the Carling Cup, Dalglish goes into Tuesday's Merseyside derby facing greater questioning than at any time since his return to Anfield 14 months ago. Liverpool have won only two of their past 11 league games and, should they lose to Everton, they will find themselves below David Moyes's side. Dalglish, who in his first stint at Anfield lived by the maxim that first is first, second is nowhere, argued that he should be judged by his impact at Liverpool on and off the field. His eventual aim, he said, was to restore the old values to Anfield. "The club is now where it was before – each one for each one, everybody in it together," said the Liverpool manager. "There are many ways you can judge a season and the best way is progress at the football club as a whole. I don't think it necessarily relates to trophies or points. "You can measure it by how the club has progressed and where it is, from the first team to the kids. Off the pitch, especially, the club is a lot stronger than what it was. You go off the pitch and see how much money we are getting through sponsorship and kit deals [the club signed a deal with US-based Warrior Sports in January worth a potential £300m over six years]. "You look at the academy and see how much better it is. You look around here [at Melwood] and most of the people have got a smile on their faces now. The squad is stronger than it was last year. What other areas are there to improve on – apart from points?" Dalglish used the three Liverpool dropped at home to Arsenal in a match they dominated as a case study, although he was unimpressed by Arsène Wenger's claim that Luis Suárez dived to win a penalty that was missed by Dirk Kuyt, and called on the FA to investigate the Arsenal manager's comments. "He never said that to me," Dalglish said. "He [Wenger] said it was a fantastic performance by us and that they were fortunate to win. I am sure the FA will look into that and take him to task for it. If you can't comment on the position of England manager, then you can't comment on someone else's player, can you?" The question of whether Suárez remains on Merseyside, despite the sometimes self-defeating uncritical support Liverpool have given their striker over the Patrice Evra affair, may cast a shadow as the season climaxes. Dalglish dismissed Suárez's comments that he would "love to play alongside Diego Lugano" at Paris St-Germain. Suárez may just have been responding politely to a question on French television. However, under Qatari ownership, PSG can offer the Uruguayan a massive salary and the near certainty of playing in the Champions League. At Liverpool that may be a long time coming.

Here's hoping.... They're aghast apparently because the FA have dared to deem that a Merseyside derby should happen midweek and not at a weekend.

Howay 12496 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 What a mug Dalglish is, I thought they got this big Warrior deal because their owner was connected in someway with that company and it all seemed like one of them loopholes for the coming spending rules like the Man City stadium. Can't stand this bloke, really hope Everton win tonight I would have loved to be 6-8 points above Liverpool if we'd just held on/nicked a win yesterday even if it was to just feel more disdain thrown at us by these Liverpool loving mugs in the media, it must be killing them.

Tooj 17 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Quite a worry that some very average managers get paid so much. Isn't AP meant to be on 500k a year.

PaddockLad 16505 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) ‘Ashley a different class’ says Beardsley 8:00am Friday 16th March 2012 in Sport Newcastle United legend Peter Beardsley has called for owner Mike Ashley to be given the credit he deserves for resurrecting the club's fortunes. The 51-year-old former England international, who enjoyed two hugely successful spells with his home-town club before joining the coaching staff, has been handed the task of identifying a new generation of stars in his role as football development manager. However, he believes sportswear magnate Ashley, whose reign has been beset by controversy - the latest the decision to rename St James' Park as the Sports Direct Arena - is presiding over a bright new era on Tyneside. The Magpies stand sixth in the Premier League with manager Alan Pardew determined to secure European qualification in their remaining ten games of an already impressive campaign. But while Pardew has received plenty of plaudits, Beardsley is convinced both Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias should be also congratulated. Beardsley said: "He [Ashley] is different class, I have to say. Unfortunately, he hasn't been given the support he deserves, but now people are starting to realise the club is on an even keel and going in the right direction. "I have to say - obviously I am biased and it will always be my club - the club is going in the right direction. "We have got a brilliant owner, a brilliant managing director, a brilliant manager, and if you have got those three who are really positive, you must have a chance." Pardew arrived in the North-East under a cloud in the wake of Chris Hughton's surprising departure, and was swiftly dismissed by many as just another member of the so-called 'Cockney Mafia'. However, having secured Premier League status during the second half of last season, Pardew has set about the task of building a team which can compete in the upper echelons of the table. Asked if they can cap that by qualifying for Europe, a feat which would need results elsewhere to go in their favour, Beardsley said: "That would be nice. "The good thing is, that's not my problem, that's the manager's job. But to be fair, he has done an incredible job, he really has done an incredible job. Everybody around the place likes him. "The Geordies, he would probably be the first one to admit, they didn't want him initially, but they have been pleasantly surprised, and onwards and upwards." Ashley's efforts to make the club self-sufficient have not always been well received, but figures released last week showed they are close to breaking even. With the days of marquee signings over, the emphasis on producing home-grown players to supplement the astute business conducted on the recommendations of chief scout Graham Carr has become increasingly important, and that is where Beardsley comes in. Beardsley said: ''We had a big meeting about it yesterday, and the manager is incredibly positive towards young players. "The manager has promoted a lot of youngsters this season and they have had a chance - and I wouldn't be surprised before the end of the season if one or two more get a chance." * Beardsley's comments came as he performed the opening ceremony for a new 3G artificial grass pitch, part-funded by a £102,000 grant from the Football Foundation, at the city's Walker Technology College. Pedro bumming his bosses up again....youd have thought he fancies Pardew's job one day........ Edited March 16, 2012 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
