They see that Kenny has steadied the sinking ship, won us some silverware, nearly won us some more, got us back into a european competition etc and now they believe we can go the next step upwards but we need a new gaffer to take us there. We all love Kenny, that'll never change but it seems FSG have decided he'd done what they wanted him to do (except the league place) and now it's time to move on. New gaffer to come in and stir the place up a bit. If we finish next season top four then we'll all look back at this as a good thing.

in the meantime we will lick our wounds and speculate who the new man will be.

I think he could do a great job here aslong as he is appointed soon and has backing. He has links with a couple of the Porto players that if given the budget could come our way I.E HULK.

He was sacked by Chelsea but wasnt given the time to try and turn it around remember when he left they were still in the FA cup Champions League and Race for top 4.

Has learned off "The special one" for all you mourinho lovers.

In the 2010 - 2011 season Porto won the Portugese league and were undefeated.

His managerial record consists over 3 teams

Academica where he played 30 Games won 11 Drew 9 and Lost 10
Porto played 51 won 45 Drew 4 Lost 2
Chelsea Played 40 won 19 Drew 11 Lost 10

In total Games played 121 Won 75 Drew 24 Lost 22 win a win ratio of 61.98

That sort of record over a season will get you atleast top 4. This guy is hungry and like i mentioned previously he would be great in the transfer market. Being a Friend of Mourinho could he tempt him in the sale of Xabi Alonso or possibly any of the other Madrid Fringe players I.e Higuain.

To be fair it all depends on how the board are going to back the new manager.

i think this sums up the way he was treated at chelsea by certain clueless sections of the media.

Kenny Kan » Thu May 17, 2012 12:41 pm wrote:KENNY DALGLISH today delivered a heartfelt message of thanks to Liverpool FC supporters as he started coming to terms with being sacked as Anfield manager.

The club legend and departed Reds boss, who was dismissed late yesterday by Boston based owners Fenway Sports Group, also called on Liverpool fans to stick by the owners who pulled the plug on his reign after just 16 months.

Dalglish, now on holiday abroad, told the ECHO late last night: “The response from the supporters on social media websites has been overwhelming and very, very humbling. Liverpool is still a great football club, still a club that should believe in whoever is going to come in after myself.

“Hopefully they will support that person as well as they have supported myself, which has been fantastic. The support the fans gave us was a huge influence in winning that (Carling Cup) trophy.

“To be perfectly honest, in most of the games this season the players have covered themselves with great credit. They have been a credit to themselves and to the football club.”

Added Dalglish, whose high profile signings included young stars like Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson: “You cannot underestimate the pressure that is on a boy who comes to play for Liverpool.

“But in the first year, what they have done has been a credit.

“There is now a great foundation to build on and to move forward with. The supporters, not just for myself but for everyone else, have always been fantastically supportive of the team – and that should not change.

No one should underestimate the role the Liverpool fans play - or the appreciation the players have for the supporters.

“Taking aside the decision made about myself, for four players to be in Roy Hodgson’s England squad for Euro 2012, and for Jordan Henderson to be on standby as well, is a great credit to the players.

“It’s fantastic for the club and those players – and I hope they go on and represent everybody well.”

Added Dalglish: “The fans will always, always stick with Liverpool Football Club and support the players and the team and the person that is to be the next manager of the club. That’s the way these fans have been brought up and that’s the way it should continue.

“For me it’s obviously going to be different, not being involved in the way I have been as before. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want Liverpool to go on now and be really successful. And that’s the same for anyone who now comes in to the club.

“What Liverpool FC deserves and the supporters deserve is far more important than me.”

Regarding the American owners, under fire from some LFC fans over the controversial decision, he said: “I would hope nobody would prejudge things now. The owners have their own reasons for doing what they have done.

"They came in to help the club at a time when it wasn’t in a great condition. They have improved it, taken it forward and are doing the best they can

Kenny was also let down by his inability to manage in the 21st century,stop looking round for scapegoats ffs.

Heimdall ? Have you ever actually been to watch LFC or understand anything about the traditions and culture odf this club ?

I'm asking cos I suspect you have never set foot in Liverpool least of all attended games. If you had then you would understand just how much of a ***** you sound when you make incendiary and ill thought out comments like the above !

You might be under the misguided impression that your cutting edge, provocative and controversial but your not lad, your just a knob !
