The crown is slipping for King Kenny

Liverpool may well have won the Carling Cup, this season, but how long does veteran manager, Kenny Dalglish, have to turn things around at Anfield, as the now-former member of the ‘Big Four’ continues to struggle in the Premier League?

The Scot still enjoys a legendary status in the Red-half of Merseyside for being one of the best players in the club’s history, but his recent stint as manager has been testing the patience of even the most loyal of Dalglish supporters - and the most accomodating of fans enjoying some football betting.

Granted, the Reds boss has brought silverware to Anfield this term, as they edged Championship outfit, Cardiff City, on penalties in the Carling Cup, in what was their first trip to the new Wembley Stadium.

Liverpool also have a chance of winning the FA Cup, this season, with a highly-anticipated semi-final clash with old rivals, Everton, to look forward to, on Saturday. You can make the spectacle even more exciting with some FA Cup betting.

But is this all just papering over the cracks and a stay of execution for Dalglish, who may well have received the sack based on the club’s Premier League campaign were it not for his iconic status at Anfield?

The former Celtic star’s relationship with the media has not gone smoothly since his return, and credit to the poor journalists who have dared to ask the manager about anything negative to do with the club.

Dalglish has such a love for Liverpool that he will not stand for anything negative to be said about his squad, but what does the Scotsman really think about the club’s season in the top flight?

A 3-2 victory over Blackburn Rovers would be nothing more than what was expected at Liverpool, five years ago, but their win at Ewood Park in midweek received far more attention than it ought to.

Signs are that not all is well at Anfield, this season, and King Kenny’s crown might well be slipping from his head. The side's premier league odds have certainly been lengthy, this season, with regard to their chances of claiming a domestic title.
