This worked for Liverpool from Shankly until Souness, who essentially wrecked it. And it will keep working for Utd at least until Ferguson loses his touch (unlikely, by the look of it) or hands over to someone who doesn't have the good sense to keep things running as they now are.
If Dalgleish can keep his head together, I think Liverpool does stand a chance of restoring things behind the scenes. But the Premiership is such a different place than the old Division One was, it will be frankly astounding if the club ever regains the position it had in the 70s and 80s.

Yes the sooner SAF leaves Man Utd the better as he is the glue that keeps them at the top but yes us Liverpool fans have to be patient before we can return to even a bit of the old glory days but l believe with dalgleish and the current owners we have a reasonable chance of doing that and l do long for that day when we can win the premier league even just once.

But don't Arsenal still have a considerable debt from building their stadium.
