'Empire of the Kop' posts baseless 'story' about Dalglish + Purslow

According to alleged Liverpool website 'Empire of the Kop', Kenny Dalglish has just been 'turned down' for the manager's job, and lo and behold, the evil mastermind behind this treacherous decision is the scheming, machiavellian agent of destruction, Christian Purslow. How convenient! The latest senior figure at Anfield to be the target of a baseless fan-led smear campaign just happens to diss a club legend. I'm sorry, but this is just utter lies, and a blatant attempt to whip up more anti-Purslow sentiment.

According to EOTK:

"From what I heard, Kenny went up to Christian Purslow and told him that he felt that he was the best person qualified for the job. Purslow turned Kenny down and instead informed him that they were going to offer the position to Hodgson instead".

Right. Clearly, Dalglish 'went up' to Purslow in a crowded room and got his point across with a microphone just to ensure that everyone could hear what he was saying. If such a meeting was to take place, it would've been done behind closed doors. EOTK then went into full anti-Purslow mode with the following spurious lies:

It is really puzzling why Purslow and the gang would chose Hodgson over Dalglish...Without a doubt Kenny is devastated by the news, he has given most of his life to the club he loved. It is shameful that they turn down like this and I will not be surprised if he resigns from the club following this.

Gosh, that all sounds really tragic, doesn't it? Dalglish is 'devastated' by Purslow's 'shameful' decision, and now he's set to resign from the club.

This is precisely the kind of misinformation I've been highlighting over the last month. EOTK's post is a deliberate attempt to increase fan-hatred against Purslow. Anyone with the slightest intelligence can see the straight through this agenda-driven nonsense.

This is how it goes though; fans will read that and five seconds later they'll spreading it around as if it was fact. *typical ignorant fan response* = 'God, did you hear about Purslow dissing Dalglish. If he leaves, we're f**ked. What a C*nt" (or variations thereof, repeated ad infinitum).

Fans complain about the media slagging off Liverpool but it is, regrettably, alleged Liverpool fans (via sites like EOTK) that do the most damage.

EDIT 1: I should have known: this garbage originally came from RAWK, and was reposted (i.e. stolen) by Empire of the Kop. It really is the blindly ignorant leading the blind.

If you want to witness how some fans are completely devoid of any ability to think for themselves, just read this thread: RAWK thread. Everyone just blindly accepting it; no one with the critical faculty to *question* the information. And why? They're all so desperate for anything that will support their agenda that the truth doesn't actually matter.

EDIT 2. Just because Dalglish might be interested in the job doesn't change the act that the story was baseless. As the article shows, the aspect of the EOTK article I was attacking was the idea that Dalglish had been turned down by Purslow, and was consequently devastated and on the verge of resigning. And as you can see from the comments below, I even noted the fact that Dalglish might be interested in the job. That's not even news - of course he moght be interested; but there's a big difference between that and trying to turn Purslow into a figure of hate by saying he's callously snubbed Dalglish and caused him to want to resign.

In any event, there are no quotes from the man himself, just media speculation based on what alleged 'friends of Dalglish' have said. Hardly reliable or persuasive.
