King Kenny ??

[Doon frae Troon]

Liverpool made a big mistake letting Hodgson go, the guy is a class act. The fans never gave him a chance from day one. Quite funny some chap on here saying Hodgson is a mid table manager when Liverpool are mid table with Dalgliesh.

If Dalgliesh is so good how come he failed so badly at his beloved Celtic?

Choice between Arsene or *** even I would go for the Frog!!

Blimey,

I think Hell has just frozen over.

When's your birthday?

I'll see if we can arrange a whip round for a certain red and white footy shirt for you.

From the Beeb: Damien Comolli has left the club by mutual consent, the Reds have announced

Can't think for the life of me why........ Actually I can think of 35 Million

They didn't make a mistake letting Hodgson go, they made a mistake appointing him in the first place! He is a mid-table manager, go back and check his clubs finishing positions in England for proof of that. Nice guy and a class act but out of his depth at a big club.

Dalglish isn't good at all, infact he's possibly even worse than Hodgson. The mistake was made appointing him as a permanent manager. Decent stop-gap untill the end of last season was all it should've been.

No surprise Comolli has gone, anyone even partly behind agreeing to Carroll, Henderson and Downing for that kind of money had to go, given how those players have performed. His exit doesn't bode well for Dalglish.

Just heard that aswell , i think th players have alot to answer for , same as the chelski players with AVB ..

Pool are good enough to trounce us 3-0 , be 2 up against QPR & lose & then 2 nil against blackburn (ok they won that in the end) how is any of that the director of footballs fault ?

Genuine question here that the pool fans might set me right on , had camolli the right to go out and buy players the manager might not neseearialy have chosen / wanted ?
if so , & he did do that well fair enough, but if he bought good players the manager chose how is it his fault they didnt perform ? Im not saying sack KD here it aint any of my business what they do at liverpool , just wondering how blame ended up at DC feet ?

Lets face it, we'll never truly know.

Commolli did say when appointed, if he targetted players that the manager did not want, it would be a wasted signing. He did say Hodgson had final sign off on them, but was that to appease the fans at the time, who were dubious about a director of football.

Commoli seemed to spend 7-10 days negotiating the Suarez deal (getting him for as cheap as possible), but the Downing/Henderson were seemingly sealed quite quickly (no wonder the price we paid).

 

[jpenno]

The suarez and Carroll deals were brokered by Commolli as director of Football in January, Kenny was only a short term temporary caretaker at that time - he did not get the full time appointment until May, not sure a caretaker manager would have any say in a £35 million deal!!

Comolli was to buy the players with the manager to manage them - on both counts both of them have failed and I expect Kenny will go when the FA Cup run is over, either this weekend or after the final.

Dalglish will get another season if he wins the FA Cup and probably rightly so. Two cups in one season, despite the league form wouldn't actually be a bad season. At the end of the day football at the top level is about winning things. Better to finish 10th and win 2 than 5th and win nothing.

Still got to beat Everton and Chelsea/Spurs though, which will be very tough.

No one can say 100% but logic would point towards Dalglish wanting Carroll, he wanted him to be his Alan Shearer. Commolli's track record was mainly foreign players, from his days at Spurs and previous Liverpool deals. Seems bizarre to go from foreign players to English ones as soon as Dalglish walks in. That would indicate Dalglish was involved in it all. Plus Dalglish was in charge in early Jan and the Carroll deal wasn't done untill the end of the month, enough time for targets to be ID'ed by the manager.

Alex, we agree!!!!

The only other point is, we wouldn't have had Caroll if Torres hadn't put in his transfer request in, so our hand was foreced slightly, which is why Carroll cost £35M. If Carroll would have been £20M, Torres would have only been £35M, as what was agreed with Chelsea was Carroll's fee plus £15M.

However, the other signings were done at leisure.

Whoever agreed that needed sacking.

There is no need for a director of football in the English game. No English team has ever been successful with one neither!

 

[G1BB0]

just listening to Talk Sport online, a few big changes afoot at LFC, maybe the worm has turned, obviously John Henry et al are kicking ass and getting the ship in order.

Daniel Comolli out (apparently to blame for a lot of the signings), more rumoured

I agree. Hodgson would have done a job given time , he's worked miracles at West Brom and will keep them up which is no mean feat. With a legend waiting in the wings it was difficult for him from the start.

Put it this way, if Hodgson was given £100 Million and the same amount of time I'm sure he would have managed to win the league cup and finish above 8th place.

In which league would be eigth though - the Championship by now would have been my bet.

Well done Kenny, well done Andy Carroll.

Get the doctor quick!!!!!

Get the doctor quick!!!!!

Lol, Credit where Credits due.
Quite enjoyed it, nervy afair as these big games usually are.
Good game to watch as a neutral, my 5 year old sons decided to be a Liverpool fan so he was over the moon....Dunno why he's decided to be a LFC fan with a name like Perryman!

Chuffed you's binned Commolli, he's a liability.

 

[bladeplayer]

Well done guys ,:clap: thoroughly deserved the result , esp on the second half showing .. very disapointed in out 2nd 45 .. but hi ho & after 7th we must go .. congrats

Hodgson will be fairly satisfied with todays result!

 

[arnieboy]

I bet you won't get many Koppites on here tonight slagging off Hodgson!!

Liverpool are in serious need of a clinical finisher - I can't understand why Dalglish won't play Bellamy more, he injects pace into the frontline which always poses a threat.

Carroll has been poor this season - he's like a new version of Heskey!
