But can anyone see Liverpool realistically finishing in the top four next year? Chelsea, Man U and C will all strengthen leaving Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle to compete with and even possibly Everton for one place. One has to expect Arsenal or Spurs to get to fourth instead of Liverpool and should one of the first three falter then the two London clubs must be favourites for a top four finish.

Basically depends on how much money they want to splash. City have shown you can buy your way in.

But Liverpool are looking at needing 5 players to challenge for the top four and unless they can unearth some gems like Newcastle or develop their academy players rapidly then they will need to spend 100+ million again and I just cannot see them outdoing the top 5 to get those kind of players.

They could but only with a top name manager like Mourinho. Unlikely I think.
 
One thing you can be sure of. If Liverpool came calling Cortese would just say no and as he showed when we went calling to Scunthorpe Nigel is not the man who would then resign. He is a man of loyalty and integrity and he will stay with us whatever happens. Which is why I have no concerns at all about him being poached by any of the current crop of managerless clubs.
 
Martinez is a great manager, and makes some great signings. With money he would be incredible. And if the fans don't support him, then he's bound to fail, just like Hodgson.

Some Liverpool fans have already said if Martinez gets the job they will not support him.

Any fan with any sense would realise that Martinez has huge potential and with the fans backing and patience from the board could be a great success at a big club.
 
I'm not sure martinez would be wise, its a big leap from wigan to liverpool, look what happened to hodgson.
 
Whoever comes in will need time, buckets of it, and they probably won't get much. I know there's the money question but if I was Martinez I wouldn't go near it right now. He'll get his big chance sometime in the future.
 
I have to agree with "Pass the football" and state that Dalglish's position was untenable after the Suarez affair. Apparently Liverpool's owners are supposed to have been hugely disappointed as they have important clients in Africa and were concerned how the issue would play over there. He was probably under scrutiny as soon a he appeared to oublically condone Suarez' behaviour. As soon as Dalglish backed Suarez, the FA should have stepped in and I'm surprised that the matter of club support demonstrated by the sporting of t-shirts did was not clamped down far heavier. In impression I had was that Dalglish saw this as a Liverpoll v Man Utd issue and failed to grasp the far wider picture. Not really acceptable in 2012 in my opinion. I feel that this was serious enough to actually warrant a points deduction and was surprised that this didn't seem to have been muted even though it's escalation to appear to be a club standing on the issue made this more serious than the individual case of John Terry which was serious enough itself. Not surprisingly many black Liverpool fans have shown their disgust at the club's attitude - something that I feel has been largely ignored by the Right-wing popular press in this country although has been raised in at least one football peridocal. Any politician making such remarks would have prompted a swift dismisal from his office although the fact that the club seemed to fall on line behind Suarez (at the prmpting of Dalglish?) is indictive that this club is probably institutionally racist. Worth noting that it did not employ a black footballer until John Barnes in the mid-80's by which time black footballers were integral to nearly every major club in the country. Given Liverpool's supposed left-wing bias, I also felt that the fan's less than deafening response was in marked contrast to the comments about the missing blame on the club badge featured on the latest edition of their shirt.

This.

As much as I disagree with clubs chopping and changing their managers, I have no sympathy for Dalglish. He kept making everything worse for himself.

No one is more delusional than the posters on here even considering that they would be the slightest bit interested in Nigel Adkins. I find myself wondering what these people are on!

Given your history, I half expected you to be leading the charge...

But if Martinez goes to Liverpool, Wigan are ****ed.
