Kenny Dalglish: I feel for the fans after this sorry saga

11 October 2010 06:33
These have been depressing times at Anfield. It is never nice when your football club are making as many headlines on the front pages as the back. [LNB]This week looks set to be huge for Liverpool but there is still afeeling of uncertainty because nobody can guarantee what is going tohappen next. [LNB]I feel particularly for the fans, who must find it difficult to knowwhich way to turn. I am sure the majority of them are quite happy thatthe club might be sold but what they really want is to see Liverpoolmove onwards and upwards from here.[LNB] Not happy: Liverpool fans show their frustration[LNB] Let's hope we can and that things work out. Liverpool is usually a glass half-full kind of city, and the Kop are renowned throughout the world for their humour and spirit. [LNB]But the turbulent three years under Tom Hicks and George Gillett have had an effect. [LNB]It is essential for any potential new owners to assure the supporters they have a long-term plan for the club that will see the club's debt problem resolved, investment made for new players and a solution found where Liverpool's match-day revenues increase either at an enlarged Anfield or a new stadium. [LNB]Bill Shankly talked about Liverpool being a 'bastion of invincibility', he couldn't have believed one day people would be talking about Liverpool in the same breath as administration, High Court cases and ownership issues. [LNB]Martin Broughton, Ian Ayre and Christian Purslow have got the responsibility of trying to do the right thing for the club and we must wish them well.[LNB] Fans stop me in the street and ask me what is going to happen. I can't give them a precise answer but I do know this club's DNA will ensure they survive and are successful in the future. [LNB]Just don't expect the scepticism from supporters to disappear overnight, not after the journey they've been on. [LNB]Liverpool will always be big news given the success and history of the club.[LNB] Once this episode is over, I hope the 'news' will all be about football.  Anfield deal on brink of collapse: Liverpool's US buyers will walk away if club are docked points Kenny Dalglish: Wilshere is good enough for England, so he's old enough Ian Ridley: The curse of the carpetbaggersLIVERPOOL FC
