Kenny Dalglish leaves Liverpool

Rumor I heard, Liverpool have made contact with AVB as he has rejected the post at Roma.

I dont think its the most important thing. I doubt Warrior has the same worlwilde structure Adidas has. I remember when Umbro was doing Chelsea's kits, It was really difficult to find it in brazilians stores, now its a really common one.

Fair point, but as many have said before, the Warrior deal is pretty much the same thing that Man City have with Etihad. Don't the Liverpool owners also control Warrior?

Hope its true. Another reason to hate Liverpool.

Villas-Boas couldn't implement his philosophy with us. Can you imagine him even trying with Henderson, Downing, Adam, Gerrard etc? And not to mention the high line with the wonderfully fast Carragher

He'd probably get them relegated.

[Kezza 1,965]

They had better fukin not approach RDM if he doesn't get the permanent position here!

Hope they get AVB or Matinez

[capriccioso 2,545]

AVB would destroy his career if he accepted this job. No one wants a guy who did a poor job at one big club then turned around and relegated another within a few months.

Cunt.

[capriccioso 2,545]

AVB to Liverpool surely can't happen. SURELY?

Villas-Boas has to have better sense than that . We have a far better squad than theirs and he still couldn't get that passing game to work. If he wants to manage in England, Arsenal is the only way for him.

Cunt.

they begin talks with several high profile managers. Roberto Martinez of Wigan, Paul Lambert of Norwich City, Brendan Rodgers of Swansea and Jurgen Klopp of Borussia Dortmund have all been linked,

LMAO Rodgers, Lambert and Martinez are their high-profile managers?!

[capriccioso 2,545]

The Scouse are stupid beyond words if they think they'll get Klopp, Mourinho or Guardiola.

Rafa is probably the best they can do, and he seems to specialise running clubs into the ground. He started the rot at Liverpool and look what he's done to treble winning Inter Milan. All in all things don't look good for Liverpool FC, especially if UEFA take this FFP stuff seriously. Especially when you consider Rafa has a rubbish record with transfers.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

LMAO at the Liverpool fans wanting Mourinho, Guardiola, Bielsa, etc. They're a big club, yes, but with small successes recently, and that will attract neither big-name players or the successful managers.

Their list of candidates is actually a fair reflection of the state of their club. A manager like Martinez, could, over a period of three-four years, actually help rebuild the squad and have them back in top four contention. Right now they are a car crash and are in as much need of an overhaul as us.

Their fans are a deluded lot at times. They want Rafa back like he is some sort of prodigal son, yet they booed him before he left. Furthermore their opinion of him is entirely clouded over by Istanbul.

[capriccioso 2,545]

I mean, just look at all the rubbish he bought. 7 million on Jermaine Pennant and Fernando Morientes? 11.5 million on Babel, 19 million on Robbie Keane, 17 each on Johnson and Aquiliani, 7 million on Dossena.

That's 86 million pounds Liverpool would be better off now. They could have used that in finding a proper replacement for Torres rather than getting Carroll, overhauling the midfield, upgraded Anfield... and the fans get on the owner's cases for those very problems.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Dalglish's signings were a lot worse in my honest opinion, he allowed himself to be conned into signing average British talent for double their actual worth. In fact, he signed Downing for £20 million, right? I'd say his actual variation is probably £6 million, considering Gary Cahill cost a little over that and has established himself as a top-notch UCL-quality defender.

Liverpool made a mistake in sacking Kenny

He made it to the final of the FA Cup and won the Carling Cup?

Give a manager more time, Jurgen Klopp of Dortmund would have been sacked by any club in his first season.

[Ollie 4,400]

Quite shocked he's been sacked, with those players he had i thought he exceeded expectations by coming 8th.

[capriccioso 2,545]

It wasn't the results, it was just that he was absolutely clueless. He had a much worse transfer policy than Rafa- who for every flop managed one good signing. They had 6 home wins all season and managed their lowest point haul in decades. They finished 8th, and won a cup major clubs don't worry with, on penalties, against second division Cardiff.

An incredible stat is that in 1968, Liverpool came 3rd in the English First Division and despite only getting 2 points a win, got more than Kenny did this season.
