I agree. Aside from Dalglish having wasted too much money, the squad is in much better shape than when he took over. It's possible we'd only need to make two or three signings this summer to make a massive improvement to our results next season. What Dalglish has done well is to use some foresight. When previous managers signed the likes of Konchesky, Dossena, Poulsen, Voronin, Jovanovic, they were just an utter waste of time. And wasting time, for me, is far more damaging than wasting money. Spending time is what wins titles, not spending money. Just look at Man Utd and Man City. So those turds of footballers we signed under Benitez and Hodgson did nothing but stagnate the squad and leave us with a fuck load of work to do in each successive summer.
Dalglish has at least invested in decentish and young players that don't necessarily have to be sold off in the summer. And he's also developed a lot of our own younger players which is nice. So there is not much work to be done when you think about it. All of our players will largely be here for the next few years developing together and improving. With some cup wins they might get a winning attitude too, although I doubt it. But at least we have the option now of keeping a good squad together and letting them get used to each other and become a cohesive well organised team. This is the best way to try and win the title, which should be our aim.
If we start again with a new manager and new players, that might get us back into fourth spot, but it ain't gonna get us to play as consistently as the scum.
