So Kenny Dalglish has gone and as of now, Fenway's Liverpool have no manager, director of football, head of press, or new stadium plan #lfc

Fuck

Here's hoping that they have someone equally incompetent lined up.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility though that they may employ McLeish. 🙂

I see RAWK is taking it well

Gutted. I'm actually welling up at work.

Feels like a family member passing away. Can't believe it. Really didn't want this. Seems so wrong

I'm sat at work close to tears!!!! I'm 45 years old!!! Absolutely gutted!!!! Those so called supporters that called for this Mans head should be fucking ashamed of themselves!!!!!!

DISGRACE!!!

Or Martinez. In fairness, both managers know how to handle a relegation dogfight.

FFS! 😆😆😆

If they're smart, they will get Villas-Boas, although his reputation has taken a bit of a battering at Chelsea.

I think they'll bring back Benitez to please the fans.

McLeish has a proven track in the Carling cup too.

😆 You can always trust northern messiah syndrome to end in tears.

Slight respect to John Henry for making an obvious, correct decision.

Doubt it.

my first reaction was 😆 😆

and then when the realisation set in it was 🙁 🙁

We've been provided with so many magically comedic moments from him this season, Liverpool were the new Tottenham. As with AVB's departure, this is a very sad for us.

but still 😆

Considering the players they have available the best man for the job is probably Allerdyce. Carroll as the new Davies, Suarez as the new Diouf.

AVB would be a wise appointment. Not sure he'll be given time though, by either FSG or the fans.

Quite a few seem to want Rafa back, they really do cling to the past and any link to former glory.

They'll go like the EU, find themselves a 'technocrat' to install at the top of the latest overspending clusterfuck administration.

LFC won't go for Rafa again because Liverpool fans view him as a near deity (ho hum) and if he comes out against the owners, as he did a few years ago, the power will shift into his hands again. Plus he never stopped going on about lack of finances and generally being a whiny idiot. I wouldn't hire him.

The number of Glaswegian managers in the Premiership at the start of this season: 7

Alex Ferguson, David Moyes, Kenny Dalglish, Owen Coyle, Steve Kean, Alex Mcleish and Paul Lambert

Now there all but three have been sacked or relegated.

I think the best quote I read from a Liverpool fan is that Dalglish was the manager they wanted, but not the manager they needed. I reckon they will get either Martinez or Villas Boas. The problem for Liverpool as I see it is that they have some very expensive players who will be difficult to move on and may not really fit into the new manager's plans. Martinez will be the safer option IMO as he has managed in the PL with worse players and still gotten results against the best sides in the division.

That's a very good point. It's effectively what happened with Dalglish this season.

Apparently Dalglish actually did try for that Tevez—Carroll swap deal.

Carroll is a better player than what Daglish got from him. Not a £35m player but not completely useless either.

As for the talk of AVB would he take that job? He needs a success next, he'd have to work miracles to manage that at Liverpool.

Hope not. I quite like Martinez.

Why? What has he actually achieved at Wigan?

Exactly Don, everyone has kept Wigan up for the last 100 years, Martinez is just another mediocre manager beloved of the tipy tappy clan.
He can do nothing till he off loads all of Kennys Kloggers that will take time, meanwhile normal service will be resumed, Man's City & Utd Chelski will take top spots with us back to our 4th spot- we know our place and Liverpool should know their's.

They have a very forward thinking board. They know Martinez is the best man to keep them up next season.

What relevance does that have to Rex's comment?

I don't get it, such a brilliant manager. Not delusional or stuck in 1955 at all.

he's done more than most to keep racism in football. i can see why liverpool supporters love him so...

i can see them going with AVB. but if i were AVB, i wouldnt take the job. the expectations are completely out of line with reality. hard to see anyone's reputation being enhanced managing there.
