Liverpool FC Forum

thats pretty much what we DO know

what we dont know is terms offered and/or refused, money on offer, money on offer being doubled, asking for said money to go in the transfer kitty, being offered DOF role and refusing it etc

it's NOT helping - proof or stfu

what facts? that he was sacked? read the LFC statement, his contract was terminated, not even ''mutual consent''

so the candidate list looks like this for now:
- Martinez
- Benitez
- Capello
- Guardiola
- Brenden Rogers

A rat with Liar, 3 printed upon its back. Bloated suits with charge sheets. The FA Cup itself, with Andy Carroll looking on from the wings. I would then go on to lament the injuries to Lucas and (to a lesser extent) Gerrard. The ridiculous prolificacy and fortune in front of goal. How many more points we'd have if we could just take penalties. How we lost our best player for eight games thanks to a liar and a shamefully bent governing body. How unlikely it was that we'd ever see this perfect storm of excuses ever again.

In the miserable shiver of the fallout from yesterday's news, I've settled upon a new title. Fu*k it all.

Three managerial changes in three years. The living embodiment of LFC forced to fly across the Atlantic to learn his fate - that fate being told by businessmen he is not good enough for us. The words Dalglish, sacked, Liverpool ringing across a million news feeds. When Luis and Kenny were forced to grovel some months ago - after Kenny being left to deal with the entire mess himself - I wondered aloud if the owners would ever know what it was to be part of LFC. Now we have it in a nutshell, for all the world to see: they do not, and will not. And will never, ever fully recover from this decision. But hey, as long as the money comes from somewhere...

He should have been given another year. Even in this era of instant gratification and (slobber, slobber) Champions League cash, there was enough promise - not to mention silverware - to see him into another campaign. Provided, y'know, if the owners had done what they didn't do in January, and, y'know, backed him. Had he then not delivered on whatever the money men wanted, I have no doubt he would have stood down. In his own time, with the proper opportunity to say his goodbyes, and to be reminded by the faithful just where he stands in our eyes. Kenny, those ba*tards don't speak for us. Ever. I hope and trust you know this.

Is it safe to assume that the players who fell even shorter than the manager will be seeing pink soon? No? What, do you mean there's something else, Lassie, like the owners never really wanting Kenny in the first place, but forced into the appointment (and then the contract)? There's half a dozen shithouses who should be holding heads in shame for the duration of the summer; I wouldn't hold my breath.

The damage done by this ill-informed ignorant judgement is beyond comprehension for any suit. Thousands of Reds old enough to know what Kenny is to LFC are cancelling season tickets, memberships and new shirt orders. For them, it's over, as the club they knew disappeared with this crass dismissal. And if they go, another piece of the club goes with them. While I don't share that final desperation, it would be impossible to argue with anyone who does. The last thing we needed was Kenny sacked. The next last thing we need is a civil war between those who leave with him, and those of us who simply cannot leave.

Any loss of life aside, it's hard to think of a sadder day in our history. It actually physically fu*kng hurts.

I'm not even arsed with the inevitable questions lurking in the smoke. Who will be taking over? How are they supposed to hit the ground running, knowing the changes that need to be made? Many are finished with "the franchise", but many of us are saddened and disgusted but going nowhere: it's going to take a hell of an appointment to claw back even a shred of what Henry & co. have just destroyed. I can all but guarantee being underwhelmed.

Many years ago at the Reading festival, I overheard a scathing drunken review of the Manic Street Preachers, with the amateur reviewer maintaining that they were now no different to the stadium rock bands they themselves used to mock. His bitterly ironic Manics-style summary is disgracefully apt for today, as we head towards clocking up four managers in four seasons. We have become the people we used to hate. Only difference is the man who gave us some of our brightest days and carried us through our darkest hour is trampled underfoot.

Fu*k you, FSG. Fu*k it all.

And anyone who can't grasp that needs to ***** away from the club I love.

So much testosterone flying around in here tonight MH. Maybe we should lock NorfolkRed and Boxscarf in the same room and let them work out their frustrations 

They could design and build a communal area together ,and invite other like minded fans ....I think you have something mate .
Who are we to deny their conjugal rites ?

Ayre admitted that Dalglish would have been dismissed even if he had delivered Liverpool the FA Cup, because the club cannot afford the continued loss of Champions League revenue which is allowing other clubs to power ahead of them financially. In a clear break with the club's past, Ayre said cup success was no longer enough to sustain the club in the modern era.

"The Carling Cup and the FA Cup don't generate the revenue and the success that is needed to keep investing," Ayre said. "If you want to be successful, you have got to keep investing. People don't want to hear that football is a business. They don't. They want to see us put lots and lots of money into the football team and win lots of trophies and games. But you have got to have both. You have got to have continued progress in the league. If you don't do well in the league and you don't get into the Champions League, you are writing cheques from your own pocket, aren't you? That is not a sustainable way, going forward."

In my day the Cups meant everything to us winning medals and going to Wembley, now finishing 4th is more important than winning any Cup

Terry McDermott ‏@TerryMac777
A kids growing up we all dreamed of scoring in a cup final, i cant remember dreaming of scoring the winner that clinched us 4th

I don't know what's more cringworthy, you posting that on twitter, or the fact you repeat it continuously on here.
