I think the reaction to Liverpool shows how little significance is given to winning cups if you don't perform in the league.
Liverpool's issue is quite simply that they are not in contention for a Champions League spot which it's fans and owners believe is where Liverpool should be. In reality this is difficult given there are five clubs better than Liverpool in the league; United, City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal. However Liverpool are a way behind Newcastle and risk finishing behind Sunderland and Everton amongst others. Additionally they have spent considerably more than some of those teams to build the current squad of players. The team that goes out cost more than Arsenal and United. Some of those players, especially the more expensive ones, were the responsibly of Kenny Daglish and Damien Comolli.
I agree he shouldn't be fired but he is under performing for the money he was given.
