Sell Kenny, Sack Carroll?

That's my point. If KD doesn't get you fourth place, especially with the money he was given to improve the squad, would you still want him as manager?

I'm not one to jump on the 'fire him' bandwagon unless the performances have been very bad. (Re: Hodgson)

Kenny is a decent manager. He proved that through the second half of last season. I'm not sure what the issues are at the moment, but I'm willing to give him more time. However, as fans, I believe we need to start seeing some changes in the consistent mistakes he makes.

One of our issues this season is consistency in line-ups.

Is there anyone out there who could properly say who our starting 11 is? I couldn't.

Kenny is far far more than just a decent manager. His stint with blackburn and of course his world class stint with Liverpool proves just that.

All Liverpool fans would want him even if we finished 10th.

We all know what he is capable of.

Bullshit.

Only bad signings were Downing and Carroll.

Only reason we bought Carroll because he was the only striker in the market at the time. It was a panic buy. Simple as.

Kenny's buys have been beyond bad, he still thinks he can win the EPL and CL with all British players. Kenny needs to move on, this isn't 1990 ffs.

Reina, Enrique, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas, Suarez and Maxi. Hardly a British core. Only reason Maxi is on the bench atm, is because he has no team chemistry with Carroll.

And there's no way Andy should be converted to a CB. Almost as bad as when RAWK was saying Gerrard would be a world class centre back.

We cut our losses now. Sell Carroll for anything over 10m. Downing can stay for depth.

Season turned sour as soon as Lucas was gone for the season.

He's spent 40m net, and if it wasn't for an injury to our key player we'd be comfortably fighting for the top 4. Anyway. Not worried. We turn it on after February, and still have to play the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs at home. Think Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, City and United all vs each other soon. People will drop points.

Chelsea isn't exactly unreachable on the way they've played in recent weeks. They're almost as bad as us.

@ aleumdance: You're 1 point ahead from a mid-table club.

he showed talent for Newcastle it wouldnt make sense to give up on it after such a short time.

Players need time.

He's whole career has been based on a 6 month stint at Newcastle.

I'd rather we cut our losses now, and get a striker that suits our style instead of changing the way 10 people want to play on the laziest player in training.

People need to remember that Pool is w/o there two best players in Suarez and Lucas plus Gerrard has been in and out of the lineup all year.

I know everyone has injuries and suspensions but losing those three is pretty much the spine of there team and there not that creative with them so losing them is huge.

With out those two in the squad they have a serious lack of technique and are so uncreative.

With that being said, Dalglish's purchases have been horrible. I wouldn't put Adam in that category as he was fairly cheap and has played to his price tag.

I mean rule one in the transfer market should be Brittish players are not worth anywhere near there price tag and go buy two forieners for the price of one Brit. He could have bought some serious talent for the money he spent but the question is would they go to Pool? And now, how much more money will the owners spend because they need to buy to be in the top 4.

If I were there owners I would not give Dalglish one more penny to spend. They need to remove him from all purchasing decisions.

No. Judas got rot in hell for all I care. Wouldn't take him back for free.

Yes to both
