You talk to people in Liverpool and they will say it's a real football club again and the heart is beating.

Quotes of the week
John Richardson told the Supplement that Kenny Dalglish is still the right man to take Liverpool forward.
The Reds manager has seen his side lose five of their last six Premier League games following this week's defeats to relegation-threatened duo QPR and Wigan, leaving the Merseysiders a long way adrift of the top four.
However, Express writer Richardson says Liverpool's Carling Cup triumph at the end of February shows that Dalglish has galvanised the Anfield giants.
"When Kenny came in there was a hell of a job to do because the heart had been torn out," said Richardson. "It's not just about results, it's about the whole football club.
"New owners came in and they wanted the right man. Kenny was the right man and he has brought everybody together.
"You talk to people in Liverpool, and the older players, and they will say it's a real football club again and the heart is beating.
"Kenny will admit the results aren't good but there is a Carling Cup already and they are in the FA Cup semi-final. Most Liverpool fans would be very happy with two trophies
"Liverpool have a fantastic history league-wise and next season is going to be very important. His buying hasn't been the best and I think some of his players have let him down, but Kenny will prove he is the right man given time."
Divine right
The Mirror's Andy Dunn says the wealth that Manchester City and Manchester United can call upon will make it difficult for Liverpool to challenge for a 19th top-flight title in the coming seasons.
But he says Reds fans should be delighted their club has scooped some silverware this term and insists that Cup success is more important than snaring the fourth Champions League spot.
"History doesn't give you a divine right to challenge clubs who are investing at the scale of Manchester City or have the commercial pull of Man United," said Dunn.
"I also hear the argument that you'd rather finish fourth than win a trophy or two but I just think that's ludicrous. You don't have an open-top bus parade for finishing fourth.
"The circumstance of the commercial monstrosity that the Champions League has become is that fourth place has been something to attain for, but it's not walking out at Wembley, going up the steps and lifting a trophy."

Video on here and some more views about things about Liverpool. Quite interesting and also Kenny said they would not need to sack him, if his time is up then his time is up and he would step down.
