Is The Liverpool Way’ actually possible anymore?

With the king firmly back on his throne is it a welcome return to the old ways for LFC fans everywhere? The embarrassment of Hodgson’s childish pleas for patience in the face of his growing ineptitude to manage the club is gladly over. Yes, players could have performed better (and did under Kenny) but it is the key function of a manager or a coach to motivate his players to play to the best of their ability in EVERY game. Kenny’s reassuring sound bites that stress his loyalty and subservience to the greater good of the club are very welcome, particularly after three managers who used press conferences as a therapist’s couch. His short and sweet compliments for the squad have clearly lifted the team’s morale. That said a lot has changed since Kenny’s last stint as manager.

Fans want to know who the club are targeting. The signing of Henderson came as a surprise to most fans and the exorbitant fee paid by LFC perturbs many. The ‘dignified’ silence from the club is worrying in a time when fans want to see concrete signings, not rubbish churned out from rumour mills that link the club to any half decent player under the age of 26. In an age of constant news, perhaps Kenny might give the fans something a little more concrete to think about during the transfer window.
