    37 points off top is abysmal and a gap that surely could not be bridged under Kenny. Whoever the next manager is they surely cannot do any worse in the League.

    We were told the same kind of horse sh*t when Rafa went.

    In fact we were promised all sorts of glory. Rafa was the only thing blocking it.

    Ayre gone too??
    Bloody hell. Fox Sports chose a good time to come in for drama! :/

    All the talk was of these guys knowing what they're doing in terms of running a sports organisation? Surely they must have plans in place to get top individuals in to fill all of the vacant roles?? This does not look good.

    I think i'd have to re-evaluate my opinion of Klopp if he was silly enough to come to us now.

    I suppose its interesting that Dalglish was sacked, he clearly did not understand that he was on very thin ice -or if I'm being cynical he knew he could get a pay off for not walking, but I doubt that was his thinking I really reckon he thought he was safe.

    Its a pity Sami signed a 3 year contract at Leverkusen a few days ago.

    Would love to see him make a return, if we are going with untested managers.

    He would certainly get the most out of the players, thats for sure.

    no.

    a "few years" is ridiculously hyperbolic.

    and your original message was lecturing us on stability - if this isn't a dig at our "stability" i struggle to know what is.



    and anyone refusing Rafa should give up supporting Liverpool and/or football in general.

    if anything, we should be convincing him to come back.

    in truth, unless he's fully re-energised after his sacking from Inter, well, then he should probably stay away for the sake of his own health.

    I wasn't lecturing you, it was an observation. Stop taking things personally.

    And there have been plenty of digs from Liverpool fans directed at Chelsea for changing managers both today and practically every week in here and the AVB sacked thread. I doubt there'll be much of that anymore.

    And i think youre not realising the full consequences of KD's signings and how much it'll set you back. IMO players like Carroll, Henderson, Dowining and Adam will never be good enough to compete for the top 4 and it'll be difficult to move them on at their current wages. it depends on how much money the club will willing to give a new manager and the sounds are that it won't be a whole lot. He'll need to be given plenty IMO.

    And I think the job is a poisoned chalice because a lot of the fans will expect the new manager to have ye competing for the top 4 next season and i don't think that's possible without huge investment, which seems unlikely given the amount of money KD has already spent.

    This is just crazy talk.

    Everyone. Please. Stop with the crazy talk!

    And that includes any posts with the words "Martinez" in them.

    Just listening to Terry McDermott on SSN,he has the opinion that Kenny should stay on at the club in sum role,a clean break would be the best thing for Liverpool I think and let the new manager put his stamp on the team without the added pressure of having Kenny still in the club

    He did an interview about 2 months ago and was coy about his future. In fact, I thought as did a few on here that he's been told he was finished already.

    Can't remember when it was exactly, on the eve of a game I think. So he could have known for a while now what was coming.

    It's all hear say anyway I suppose.

    It's the correct decision lads I know its sad but football hasn't and shouldn't have any place for sentiment.
    Let's hope the owners get the right man give him some money and all of us get behind him

    Nothing more than a few non-journo tweets about the Ayre sacking. I would be surprised, who can they trust to lead the search for a manager (and other positions) if they get rid?

    OK whoever wanted to get a measure of the new owners well you will not have to wait too long .

    With all the activity over the past two months with staff etc then they are either extremely intelligent or extremely stupid.

    Please be the former.

    I wanted Rafa gone as far back as the summer of 08 when he tried to drum Alonso out of the club for Barry
    We played an awful brand of football under Rafa (bar a couple of months when we had handed the title back to Utd in 09)
    Second comings in football never work out and he could not get the job done first time around, it will be a harder job now.

    And thanks very much but i will continue to support Liverpool and football

    Yes even if he were to do that. The mans ego is bigger than every club he's been at. He has left every club he's managed (bar maybe Porto) in a worse state than when he took over.

    And he is still the enemy of football in my book

    Just after hearing about the big news. Surely Benitez will be top of the pile for the new manager. Kenny has done his best and will always be a legend at the club. We need a top pedigree manager now.

    I hope they can attract a decent manager. This appointment is vital. No unnecessary risks should be taken.

    They should go all out for AVB and give him the time needed to turn us around, I think he has the quality and was very poorly treated at Chelsea.

    I like rafa and wouldn't be against him signing but we need a break from the past. Deschamps might be another decent shout.

    Do you perhaps not think they were in a worse state after he left because he wasn't in charge anymore? How many managers have Inter and Chelsea combined had since?

    I think this shows FSG are seroius about pushing up back up the league and they arent afraid to make the big decisions to do that.

    Lets just hope they are being advised correctly on possible appointments. Theyve said that they have the money to compete with anybody they were well within their rights not to trust Kenny with a big budget this summer.

    Up and down like the proverbial undergarment of a lady-of-the-night.

    I don't think it'll take 100M. That is 5+ players. If we spend that, we have to be selling too, which would have to offset any spend.

    I see a CM, RM and CF, that's all...
