Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

Solbakken was a quality return, can't front

btw apparently he went back to Norway with a DVD of all of our games from this season, assume when he takes up the job his first action will be to lay off the whole squad

classic picture choice as usual

That picture!

i like dalglish well enough but he's no football manager in 2012

does this change woy's mind about the lfc eng players

was gonna say when Kenny told him Carroll was good did he say "i'd stake my career on it"??

Mark Hughes has handed in his notice at QPR and declared his availability for the Liverpool job.

that's a joke right?

Yes, but I love how you had to ask.

i'm 50/50 on that being srs

Is O'Leary available?

Hoddle?

Aw fuck it. Come back Graeme.

martinez by the sound of it.

wgs or mon to keep the celtic link

"Let's give a big Anfield welcome to"

Chris will know better, but will there actually be fan outrage over this? Or will it be excepted that results were dire and a sacking therefore more than justified?

Realistic view I'm guessing - love Kenny, but this plainly wasn't working.

yeah i never believed the talk when he was appointed about how it'd be impossible to remove him etc. bad results quickly remove sentimentality, for the most part.

Liverpool: Mark Lawrenson expects Kenny Dalglish to stay

^writing was on the wall when the bbc broke this story yesterday

At the meeting he delivered his end-of-season review and outlined his strategy for next season.

was the strategy to spend another £100m?

xposts. i honestly can't tell rght now. maybe 50/50? i think the general feeling is sadness that it ended this way. no idea what i think right now, still in shock. for some reason i was really expecting him to be given another season with a new director of football and some changes to the coaching staff.

re strategy ,to have a bit more luck iirc
xp

really don't want martinez. that's never going to work out well.

am i right in recalling that the death blow for rafa was stevie & carra had had enough of him and said so

that may have had something to do with it

isn't that what people say about big/loved/hated players whenever any manager leaves? eg every time chelsea change boss...

yeah i mean i can believe Abramovich might be over-cuddly with his dead-eyed golden boys but who the fuck is gonna take advice off Carra?

neither has played well since mind you

ya but chelsea bosses are never 2/1 to come back is my point

i'm no rater of martinez either but i can well imagine the empire of the kop forming a new cult around him

xposts. or it may not have.

poor roy, bet he was well looking forward to being the main man today with his big squad announcement.

i have no idea what Martinez might be capable of but i can see the Kop lynching him in effigy before his team's kicked a ball

martinez strikes me as the sort of manager who, if he stayed at wigan, would prob be sacked in a year or two mid-season or after relegation.

now rumours ian ayre is gone

this is like the end of hamlet

like kenny in another two years if he'd stayed

Lfc as is are a conundrum atm

Martinez was on the brink much of last season, supposedly. I can't imagine FSG being swayed by an eight-game purple patch, nor by a couple of senior players. It's kind of unnerving to have dead-eyed pros at the helm, though in keeping with the lord/vassal ethos of the English game.

martinez for wba, capello for lfc, rafa for the lolz

AND rumours david dein is running the club now.

looking down the betting list the only one that's given me brief pause is jurgen klopp. progressive manager, probably reached as high as he can, that klinsi-style deutsche optimism americans like... bit fanciful but could work maybe? meh, maybe not

o'neill would probably be delighted with the squad he'd already have, unique selling point right there

it is imperative to have dead-eyed pros at the helm

haha urghhhh xp

Shankly hologram.

stolen from my facebook?

Anyway farewell King Kenny. You were playing in the first match I ever saw. Then 29 years later I saw your Liverpool team. You did other stuff before, between and after, most of which was great. My heart's not really in this.

sort of grimly amused that none of this can unseat "i hate my face" from top of the uk trends on twitter

i mean you'd think fsg would have already have someone in mind at least? seems foolhardy to throw away the time to plan kenny's immunity buys you
