King Kenny ??

[anotherdouble]

Sacking dalglish is not the answer

Over the last decade football has changed in that money rules and these American football style owners want to see a return on investment and unfortunately it has to be immediate rather than later. Liverpools season, lowest number of victories in their history, lowest points since 50's, fewest goals for 2 decades and lowest finish for 20 years. And ending below Everton.

The owners cant see it getting any better under the current regime. Pays your money takes your choice.

Bookies are very very rarely wrong with these things and they have suspended the betting on 'king kenny' being there next season.

That's an easy call.

Even if they don't sack him, the chances are he'll walk.

He's never been one for rolling up his sleeves and fighting on when the going gets tough, has he?

It doesn't take a massive amount of money to suspend these types of markets, look at the England job when arry was 1/7 and woy was 10/1.

Hehe.

I understand what you're saying.

The biased side of me says he's never been any good as a manager once the going gets tough, and Liverpool are well rid, but all the top 6 sides will have one less club to worry about all the while he's still there.

The objective side of me says he wasn't far off creating a half decent side - if only a few of those shots that hit the woodwork went in, he'd have been safe, and Liverpool would have been challenging for Europe.

But

His default mode is still to not lose - look at the Carling Cup tie against City once they got their nose in front. It worked this time, but it often doesn't.

And that is not the way to success in the Premiership nowadays.

So overall, a good move for Liverpool, a bad move for Spurs and Arsenal, I fear.

Oh, and I said the racism stuff would come back to haunt him......

Surely it doesn't come as any surprise. You simply can't live on reputation and past glories alone and had Kenny been at toher clubs you could argue he may actually have gone during the season. I think it's a good thing in a way. Get rid now before he does lose the goodwill of the fans and get whoever gets it can have a rebuild. I hate to say it but mid table (7-10th) is all you can expect for a season or two until the new guy gets rid of a lot of deadwood and gets some players in who look like they want to put the shirt on and play and have a bit about them.

I like Liverpool. Loved the great teams of the 70's and 80's and its sad to see any top club in descent. They have been out of contention for a long time and I think City, United and Chelsea have proved you have to buy a good squad and that is where the difference has come. Liverpool have often lacked quality in the starting XI and have had little or no suitable replacements to cover injury and suspension. There are a lot of positions that need new players in (and cover) and that won't come cheap or quickly

Sky Sports news has just shown a few of his post match interviews from throughout this season.....Cringe!!
He's been a PR disaster in my opinion. (this season)
Good to see Steve Clarke still with the club though, seems a decent enough coach.

 

[Naybrains]

Cappello might be a good shout as Kennys successor?

No.

I wonder if there may be a shock appointment as manager, by that someone not even mentioned yet. The yanks dont mess about and I really think they may already have bookmarked someone to do the job + a load of cash for players.

Ever the optimist me

George Graham? He's available.

 

[G1BB0]

I would take 1-0's for top 4

 

[MadAdey]

The only man for would be Mourhinio......

 

[Liverbirdie]

No.

Come on then dodge, who should get the job, and reasons why. 50 words minimum.....

That's funny as he was described as "a breath of fresh air' by the media when he came back, or is it because he wasn't best of mates with them and not playing ball?

As for Steve Clarke surely as 1st team coach he should be given his marching orders aswell, coaching the team to eight place.
