  • Can We Already Announce Kenny Dalglish and Liverpool as the Failure of the Year?

    Kenny Dalglish may be an Anfield hero, but even among Liverpool fans it’s difficult to find those happy with his work this season with the club he was supposed to take back to greatness, given plenty of funds and patience from the American owners.
