How long was he given again?

He was hired the 22nd of June 2011 and sacked 4th of March 2012. Roughly 8 and a half months?

Kess73 · 16-05-2012 05:11PM

Have two preferences that would satisfy me that the owners are looking to try to upgrade and one gamble that say the sameit imho.

Deschamps, Rafa, or AVB.

The likes of Klopp we simply are not going to get.

mike65 · 16-05-2012 05:12PM

Earlier I said Ayre was probably a goner, its not a cull - its a Soviet style purge.

Clean slate, new broom and so on.

IT WON'T BE RAFA!

Liverpool site confirms he was sacked or as they put it had his contract terminated.

Except they haven't. Results have been disappointing, but the performances have been consistently good. They fell off in the league when 4th place was gone and the trophy was in the bag.

The squad is a million miles off City and a long long way off United/Spurs/Arsenal/Chelsea. Kenny himself said the points you get at the end of a season is a fair reflection of where you're at. 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.

If it's the cup competitions you prefer over league position, i still think whoever comes in can do as well. Not many sides play their 1st teams in the Carling Cup so if Liverpool continue to do so i could see them winning 3 or 4 cups in as many seasons. Whoever is in charge.

Glico Man · 16-05-2012 05:14PM

Ian Ayre gone now as well?

shotamoose · 16-05-2012 05:14PM

Whether or not you think he did a good enough job (I think he didn't), it's incredibly sad to see Kenny sacked. Oh to turn back to clock to when Rafa was manager and Kenny's job was to offer advice when needed and cheer everybody up.

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.

Martinez the favorite on PP to be the next pool manager carra 25/1, gerrard 50/1 and hodgeson 80/1??? haha

tibor · 16-05-2012 05:16PM

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.

Gerty · 16-05-2012 05:17PM

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

mike65 · 16-05-2012 05:17PM

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.

DDC1990 · 16-05-2012 05:18PM

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.

tibor · 16-05-2012 05:19PM

Also, add another £10 million or so in compensation to the "exceptional expenditure" column for next years accounts. Baffling.

Irishpimpdude · 16-05-2012 05:19PM

We need a proven manager tbh wouldn't mind owl Jose

Super-Rush · 16-05-2012 05:19PM

Anfield cat for the next manager?

Maybe this fly on the wall documentary should be scrapped for a 7 part reality show to find a new manager.

Kerrydude1981 · 16-05-2012 05:20PM

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

NabyLadistheman · 16-05-2012 05:20PM

If Ayre is sacked who the hell is advising FSG? Too yanks who know jack about football sacking & hiring manager's is not a good thing!

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.

They just said so?

"Our job now is to identify and recruit the right person to take this Club forward and build on the strong foundations put in place during the last 18 months."

kingshankly · 16-05-2012 05:21PM

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

Of course he knew, he was ordered to give a written report on why the results were so poor.
