A week before Damien Comolli's departure from Liverpool, I posted an article outlining John Henry's history of ruthlessness when dealing with failing managers. Whilst I would hate to see Kenny Dalglish sacked, I think it's possible that Liverpool may on the lookout for a new manager in the summer, and there are plenty of excellent candidates out there, including current France manager Laurent Blanc.
Blanc is currently preparing for Euro 2012, but in an interview Le Parisien this week, he revealed that he could be tempted back into club management sooner rather than later:
"It is always gratifying to be appreciated by the big clubs. If an exceptional challenge is proposed to me, I could very well decide to leave [France]"
The France Football Federation recently offered the former Marseille player a new four year deal, but nothing has been finalised yet, which means Blanc could be available after the Euros.
Inter Milan and Chelsea recently sacked their managers, and both are currently linked with Blanc, but what about Liverpool? If he wants an 'exceptional challenge', then surely Anfield is the place to be?
Blanc is just the kind of young, hungry manager Liverpool should be targeting, and if Dalglish moves upstairs to a Director of Football-type role, Liverpool could benefit from the best of both worlds: old school experience combined with a new, progressive approach.
Blanc achieved great success in his first managerial role at Bordeaux, winning a league and cup double in his second season, after finishing second in his first year in charge.
For me, Blanc is one of a number of great options, but would he come to Liverpool?

Why not Suarez as our new manager?
ReplyDeletego away jamie
ReplyDeletedefo
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't really have any pedigree as a club coach, Jaimie. It would be a risk. If the club are going to replace Dalglish and i think they should for various reasons ( signings, lack of tactical acumen, media relations, no set philosophy, results and placing in the league) we be looking at a top, top replacement. Make no mistake if the job became available tomorrow there would be a long list of managers applying for it. Blanc has a lot of developing and learning to do in my opinion.
ReplyDeletethis guy writes the biggest pile of bollocks, newsnow should ditch this fu-ckwit.
ReplyDeleteJamie have you got nothing better to do than come at Dalglish from every angle imaginable ?
ReplyDeleteYour repetitive anti KD is ridiculous
Is there no other LFC topic you can wrote about ?
We are in the FA Cup final for the first time in 6 years
We are in two finals for the first time since 2005
Given how successful we have not been the last five years ?
Isn't it time to be positive ?
not that ex manc anything but that.
ReplyDeletekenny like any manager needs time. i am sick of reading crap like this
ReplyDeleteRafa will back as our manager for the start of next season,FACT.Nobody else but Rafa.The owners of LFC have been here twice in the last week,KD has failed miserably and I dont blame them for not trusting him with any money like in Janyary.KD will be gone at the end of the season and Rafa will be back and the glory days will come back again,
ReplyDeleteYou only sensationalize headlines to attract traffic to your website and make $$$ when we click all the nonsense ads.
ReplyDeleteYou're as slimy as Neville the Ratman. If Tomkins is the reference on how a Kop site should be run, you're the total opposite, the model no one should ever follow.
I am the only gay of the village
ReplyDeleteA former united player as our manager??
ReplyDeleteAlso please give credentials as to why he would do well at a top club
Kenny Assistant, Rafa Manager. Rafa's tactical nous and Kenny's man management would work well.
ReplyDeleteyour getting very boring kenny is the boss
ReplyDeleteHaha spell that month again for me. What an arse! You an all the other Get Rafa Back To Work campaigners are doing my head in. He had his chance and as good as it was to my knowledge we never won the league.youd think we'd won it 6 years on the bounce the way you ballbags are going on about it! In his last season where did we finish? And don't give me all the 'but it was the owners fault' shit. Wake up you deluded blerts. There's no magic wand. Get over it
ReplyDeleteIs this the only thing you can say grow up son
ReplyDeleteKD Was a great player but terrible manager since 85. Made a shambles of Celtic, Newcastle and now here. Heart mybe in right place but his tactics or lack and choice of players are bad. Table doesn't lie. Anyone can win a cup or reach a final. Doesn't bring you top players.
ReplyDeleteClub is sliding big time and not improving, so wake up those who think Kenny is a great manager. Think with your heads not your heart. Raffa was around 20 points better off in his last season when you wanted him sacked and always in Champions league. Be careful what you wish for.
Do you ever proof read what you have written?
ReplyDeleteGO AND WRITE ABOUT ANOTHER CLUB , EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS A NEGATIVE ,OR APPLY FOR THE JOB YOURSELF.
ReplyDeleteyeh, JK, the site will run itself(!)
ReplyDeleteI know it sounds very tribal but as you say there are options out there, so no need for a ex-manc player to be manager. Having Paul Ince play for us, didn't sit very well with me.
ReplyDeleteSome of you may find this interesting. Makes a lot of sense and provides answers to why players were bought and for what reasons they were bought and by whom and even offers ideas as to how and why certain players have been picked.
ReplyDeletehttp://tomkinstimes.com/2012/04/moneyball-statistics-and-damien-comolli/
Ex-Man U unfortunately. Doubt he'll make the move while the United job is a future possibility
ReplyDeletenext year hope u will be the first for asking for mercy from the king when we celebrate pl title
ReplyDeletethought you hated racists jamie. he did a lot worse than luis.
ReplyDeletemany of 'bring rafa home' brigade would have been the same so called fans that were calling for his head towards the end of his final season - " but it was the owners fault " they all cry - nope, sorry but you never cut uncle Roy the same slack re the circumstances of the club and its owners at the time.
ReplyDeleteis their anything worse in modern football than the fickle , revisionist football fan ?
Keep up the good work Jamie and never mind the "true" and "real" supporters.......... And yes i will go for Blanc!!
ReplyDeleteprobably the most deluded and cringeworthy post ive read here all week - have you any idea at all just how far away we are from lifting the title ? as a club I mean not current league position , it will take at least another 2 or 3 seasons of sound investment , clever management and rebuilding of the 1st team before we can seriously challenge again - and stop reffering to kenny as the king - its embarresing .
ReplyDeletewhy not stop commenting on his articles and leave hime to read his own drivel --he's obviously a tit
ReplyDelete"a terrible manager since 85" huh?
ReplyDelete"Anyone can win a cup" no they cant!
Kenny consistantly has great cup runs Fact. He has won the league in England, Rafa never could, fact.
i personally think that Kenny is somewhat biased against some of his players. Well Rafa was too. Kenny and Rafa all made some wrong buys, but which manager hasn't?
ReplyDeleteThe important think is that KD learns from his mistakes and he should not be stubborn ( such as not playing players in form, not be afraid to drop players, play players in their right positions ). I think if those problems can be corrected, why should we need a new manager? Even if we get Capello in tomorrow, we won't win the league next season, you need time.
Having said that, i think that Lucas's injury affected our season as we did not have a good enough replacement for him. Adam was playing well at the starting of the season when Gerrard was out injured. But when Lucas got injured, Adam dropped deep and he cant tackle for nuts. Well, i think we have to make some good signings, including a top striker and natural right winger. But we should give KD one more season. Well, we were playing good football during the start of the season and like i said Lucas's injury had a negative effect on our season. And that scum Evra got Suarez suspended which had another bad effect on the players.
By the way, i published an article on my blog about some players who don't have crazy pricetags on them and would be good buys. Hope you guys take a look at the same time.

I wonder how does Jaimie understand the Director of Football role. Does he think it is just about posing for camera together with new signings?
ReplyDeleteI am sure Paul Ince will be devasted to know he didnt receive your support.
ReplyDeleteChica,
ReplyDeleteI've yet to see the Director of Football work in England's Premier League.
Yeah right !, dream on brother, the possibility of having two trophies in the cabinet could only be summed up as KD having failed miserably! I suppose?. You are right in one aspect the glory days are well on the way to happening!
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY !
ReplyDeleteJamie, are you by any chance a Manure supporting Yank, as you appear to talk some absolute negative crap.
ReplyDeleteI love the hypocrisy of some of you on here. "Can't believe we aren't giving youth a chance. Why do we persist with these older players?" Why should it be any different at management level or are we too snobbish to give a young manager a go? I also don't understand the disrespect some of you give Jaimie on here for daring to have an opinion and argue his point. Plenty of young managers succeed. AVB won a Portuguese treble, Rafa won La Liga, Mourinho was relatively young at Chelsea, and before that Porto where he won the CL. Brendan Rodgers at Swansea has them playing some sublime football and winning. If a 17 year old is deemed good enough to understand tactical postioning at first team level, as you all think Sterling is then I'm sure Laurent Blanc is more than capapble of managing at a club like Liverpool.
ReplyDeleteOn reflection Jaime, perhaps not the best article you've written eh?
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, Cardiff nearly won it this year and they are a league below. Portsmouth have made 2 FA cup finals, and looking back at previous winners and finalists of our domestic cups they include leicester, Millwall and Cardiff again. In the year Portsmouth won it, the FA cup semi-finalists were West Brom, Portsmouth, Cardiff and Barnsley. The cups aren't what they were
ReplyDeleteLaurent Blanc? A fine young manager who I am sure will do a good job with France in Poland/Ukraine and I am sure will take up the reins of an Italian power. Put together a good little Bordeaux side (led by Chamakh before shockwaves hair gel got there claws into him)
ReplyDeleteAs for Blanc for Liverpool manager after Kenny? Who knows. Will be in a few years (maybe after the world cup in 2014?). Gives someone two years to show what they can do. But let us savour Dalglish back and though it never went to plan this season, two trophies and a return to European football (albeit Europa League) will do fine by me. Bring on summer and 2012/13 :)
I actually prefer Deschamps. I felt that after the departure of Rafa, he would have been an excellent choice ahead of Hodgson. I think he has excellenct knowledge of the talent available in the French league and may be able to entice players over there into joining us...especially at reasonable prices.
ReplyDeleteDuring this summer, I think it's for the best interest for KD to take up an ambassador role for LFC. He was once the best player here and folks idolize him all the way from his playing days till now. He is definitely an iconic figure in LFC for a long time to come. Now sentiments aside, he is very clearly not 'the one' to take LFC all the way back to the top of EPL. His out-dated English way of having a big fella banging in goals from the penalty box is not working. Of course, it may be due to the fact that the big fella is not up to the mark, and very possibly so.
ReplyDeleteHaving a stubborn preference to deploy failing English players is another issue that is damaging his reputation, though he don't have much of a choice since he made the club spend crazy money on those mediocre British players. I'm not implying that there aren't excellent English players in EPL. But we have to understand this is EPL that we are talking about. Almost all excellent English players are indispensable to their respective clubs, SG in LFC, FL and JT in Chelsea, PS and WR in Man Utd. Most of the rest are tagged with inflated price tags due to nationality. 35 mils on a half-season EPL wonderkid is crazy money, admit the fact or not.
I hope LFC can let KD do what is best for both LFC and himself by letting him go in the summer. LFC needs a manager that plays modern continental style football and an eye for young talented players everywhere around the world. There may never be another Arsene Wenger around for LFC so let see who is the next best person for LFC.
Yeah, lets get over Benitez. He is part of history. Lets move on from the past instead of harping over Benitez and get another manager who can brings us the EPL title and Champs League cup.
ReplyDeleteSince 85?
ReplyDeleteWhat planet are you living on. Go look him up on Wikipedia. If you can't get basic facts right it's not possible to take what you say seriously.
As for lacking tactics. Why don't you ask Ferguson, Wenger, AVB, Ancelloti and Mancini how he managed to beat them then.
And where is he in the French league at the moment??
ReplyDeleteI wish everyone who keeps banging on about Carroll would take just 1 minute to read what John Henry said.
ReplyDeleteHe said the deal for Torres was £15 million plus whatever Newcastle wanted for Carroll.
Chelsea agreed £35million for Carroll plus £15 million.
If Newcastle had asked for £1 (ONE Pound) we would have ended up with...... Andy Carroll + £15 million
As it is we ended up with......... Andy Carroll + £15 million.
Either John Henry was telling the true or he was lying and KD and Comolli decided to pay £35 mill stone cold sober - answer he's not lying and they didn't, Chelsea did.
The only way we could have got the money - even if possible at the time would have been to ask Chelsea to renege on a deal with Newcastle and give us the money instead which would have been an act of terrible bad faith and bad business - assuming it was possible that is. Torres asked for the transfer at the last minute - and there was some discussion at the time that he'd been advised to do that by Chelsea.
I really hope LFC can do what's best for both LFC and Kenny by giving him a new 5 year contract as manager (At least as long as it took Ferguson to get United back to 6th place before they finally won the league title.).
This blog's turning pretty awful. It's becoming increasingly clear JK has an agenda.
ReplyDeleteI imagine it's like hearing "Delenda est Carthago" every day for twenty years.
Sad thing is, if the owners were to fire Kenny it would be akin to firing Ferguson in 88 - and we'll never know how much he could have done for the team.
On the other hand, if the owners aren't that stupid, I'm really looking forward to several years of "I told you so".
That's it from me. Unless there's a marked improvement in the posts here - perhaps on a subject other than Kenny for a change - I'll spend my time somewhere worthwhile (yes I know you won't miss me).
Wait a minute, how hypocritical you are. Rafa is part of history? So is KD, he is a part of our history but we brought him back and gave him another chance. Time to give the man who took us to 2 CL finals in 3 years another go, with some financial backing he will bring in the right players
ReplyDeleteWhich manager has got us our highest points total of a season? Not KD, that man is Rafa. But people like you are too short-sighted, no, Rafa didn't win the title, but he came closer than anyone else in the Premier League era to win a title for us. He also won the CL for us. Let's face it, very few managers have won the Premier League, and even less in the past 10 years. Rafa is one of the only managers to have won the Uefa cup and CL in consecutive seasons.
ReplyDeleteNo chance for Blanc. Ces't pas possible.
ReplyDeleteWhy come on someone's site and say that? Completely pointless.
ReplyDeleteTake your own advice.
Not bothered that he is ex-United. I think there are better options but he is certainly interested. Young, talented and has spent time in England.
ReplyDeleteWon a league title in his home country and has dealt well with the pressure of being a national team coach. Had a great mentality as a player, always nice to have someone who has handled the pressure of being a top player if you can find one who is a good coach too.
This article suggests that Kenny is no longer hungry. But looking at his enthusiasm on the pitch and the touchline week in and week out, I think sometimes columnists and blog writers just wanna ensure change because they wish to justify their "perspectives" and other rubbish that they wrote.
ReplyDeleteThe Americans gave him three years. And already he has managed to secure two cup finals, winning one in the first full season. Yeah we could say he splurged money but what about that of Man City and may end up with nothing? And against a backdrop of players betraying LFC's cause by submitting 11th hour transfer requests (think Torres & Mereiles), I think Kenny did pretty darn well. He is blooding the youngsters, getting the players (who let him down frequently I might add) going and finally winning silverware, I'd say he is my kinda manager. Let him justify the three years first before so-called fans and author always call for change.
Yeah, this post will surely be deleted because JK couldn't stand criticism. He can dish it out, but can never take it when others give their "perspective". So much for being a critical analysis.
Rajpdxusa mate, where the link for what John Henry said about the transfer between Chelsea and Torres? Would love to have read it on first hand account!
ReplyDeleteMark, could try this link??

ReplyDeletejamie why dont you put all your previous articles.. the things you wrote on gerrard some years back? we all interested to read them again. please
ReplyDeletei'd be willing to bet you a grand that rafa won't be back.
ReplyDeleteou really think kenny would step down to be someone elses's number 2? you are deluded pal.
ReplyDeleteSimple fact kenny is the gaffe so let's get behind him and until they decide to get a new a manager let's support the one we got.but potential replacements if and I only mean if the get rid of kenny they should look at the likes of frank ryikarjd,klinsman,joachim lower( germany manager) and maybe the swansea gaffer.but until that time if it ever happens stop talking shite and support our leader simple as that...end ov chat!!!
ReplyDeletecity prob won't win the title with a squad light years ahead of us and you think we'll win it next year?
ReplyDeletedo you actually football or just delude yourself with nonsense about 'the king'.
well said.
ReplyDeleteblanc has a great pedigree,yes he played for man utd but should that really cloud our judgement?
5 year contract for kenny?
ReplyDeleteyou're forward thinking aren't you.
'no mans bigger than the club etc' philosophy certainly doesn't wash with you.
Aww bless, still targeting my posts like some silly bully. Yawn.
ReplyDeletegood riddance.
ReplyDeleteyou're posts are delusional and overly critical of the person who runs the site for no other reason than having a different opinion to you.
I never thought I'd see the words Top Manager and Laurent Blac in the same sentence...
ReplyDelete£35m, sadly, regardless of how it is spun, it is £35m.
ReplyDeleteBye
ReplyDeletethen how did he win for blackburn?
ReplyDeletewe don't need points we need the league.so
ReplyDeletedid we win the league with the highest point ?
yeah I rememmber sportingo
ReplyDeleteWhere did Rafa finish in the league his first season?
ReplyDeletedidnt he used to play for Man-U? if so, i wouldnt want him anywhere near our team.
ReplyDeleteI'd hold out to see how France play in Euro 2012 before waxing lyrically about Blanc. A group with Romania, Luxembourg, Belarus, Bosnia & H and Albania in it, i'd bet my house that even having Aidy Boothroyd as manager could win at a canter
ReplyDeleteur talking shite....outdated tactics????the kenny i remember from 86-90 played attractive ,on the deck football.give him time,too many premature ejaculations on this site for my liking!!!!
ReplyDeletejesus jamie,speculating again as to who will replace kenny?its like the jan transfer window on sky(complete nonsense,but ur glued anyway!!!!).why dont you post article on how fickle our fans are today?how impatient they are and spoilt beyond belief?how laughable we look to other fans,when only 12 months ago we were in heaven and now were in hell with kenny!!!have you ever wondered jamie if all this managerial merrygoround might actually hamper us in getting someone decent in future?dont ya think a managers goin to look at us and think...nah,their too fickle,want instant success,not for me thank you?

As I said. If Newcastle had asked for £1 for Carroll. We would have ended up with Carroll + £15 million.
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/875987/john-w-henry:-andy-carroll-purchase-was-a-'hell-of-a-deal'?cc=5901
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing hypocritical about it. KD was a stop gap measure. Everybody can see that except maybe you. He was brought back at a time when the club was in chaos and the owners needed time in the club and chose not to fill the post hastily. Logically and sensibly, they went with someone who was readily available and familiar with the club. That was why he was only given a 2 years contract.
ReplyDeleteNow that the club is more in order somewhat, they can afford a little more time to look around and evaluate for a manager who can guide the club to a higher level.
Rafa did well at the beginning but thereafter lost the plot towards the end. The direction the club took thereafter was just off and we were just a nearly team. Sure we had bad owners and limited budget but he has took the club as far as it could.
I like Benitez and he was an important part of the club's history but I think the time has come to identify another manager to helm the team. He had his chance. I do not foresee Kenny will see out his 2 yrs contract. I think the owners will have started to scout around for their man. A new manager would freshen up the team as well.
Sorry, mate. I know you won't agree to the above but we just have to agree to disagree. We'll just have to see what the owners do.
Spinning is not my cup of tea as I don't like the taste of sand when my head is buried in it but if it is yours and makes you feel better about having Andy Carroll in our team for £35m, than fair enough and each to their own.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't go so far as to say we will win the EPL title. Securing Champs League spot first would be a more realistic target.
ReplyDeleteRAFA took the wand it was his. Don't worry we have still got magicians because £110m vanished
ReplyDeleteFacts are facts my friend - whether you find them convenient or not.
ReplyDeleteThe deal was £15mill + Carroll.
Chelsea agreed to pay £35mill plus £15mill
The only way Liverpool could have got the money instead would have been to renege on the agreement.
Sorry I'd it doesn't suit your argument but unless you know better than John Henry what happened you're just wrong.
I'd save your breath mate. This lot aren't really fans. They're glory-hunters.
ReplyDeleteThey'd have sacked Shankly!
Look jk the only man to replace kd is rafa benitez top manager
ReplyDeleteMy argument was Carroll cost £35m. Did Carroll cost £35m? Yes. Regardless of how that fee came about, it is £35m. When one looks at the list of the highest transfer records in football, they simply give the player, the fee, the date, the two clubs involved and they don't have a 'b-b-b-but we only paid so much because of bla bla bla bla' section (which is what John Henry was doing, he was trying to justify the club paying £35m for Carroll). I don't disagree with how the fee came about (even though I may or may not necessarily agree with the justification of said reasons) but at the end of the day, Carroll cost £35m, that is a 'fact'.
ReplyDeleteYou plank jk kd has spent 50 million hasn't qualified for cl and is closer to relegation than the title your dreaming about wake up we are no longer in the 80's duh
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not
ReplyDeleteIt's ridiculous. The "Rafa Back" brigade are out in full force. Perhaps you started supporting Liverpool in 2005? "Oh but it's the owners fault" they cry. Bull! Benitez didn't have a DoF to answer to, he set prices and players to buy/sell/loan. He spent millions on Morientes and Keane. On Babel, Nunez, Gonzales and Josemi. He paid for them. Millions of pounds. He purchased so many crap players that if I were the owner of Liverpool I wouldn't let buy me lunch let alone a player for the club. Fair enough many players were signed for free or for small fees but they add up to tons of money.
ReplyDeleteKenny was clearly being restricted by Comolli (recent comments by FSG, Henry, Kenny and players confirm this) and his moneyball strategy. Kenny didn't have anything to do with prices. He identifies targets and the DoF advises the business side of the club how much they're worth, who's a good buy etc. That's his role. Clearly most of the problems with the club that have been attributed to Kenny were actually the roles of a DoF and that is reflected in Comolli's sacking. I'm not trying to make a scapegoat out of the man and to absolve all of Kenny's role in this "failure", but Kenny is not the one to be blamed.
I see a manager who has won back the players (Gerrard and Carra said they were barely on speaking terms with Rafa and never accepted Woy's authority due to his incompetence) and a manager who has taken us to two cup finals.
Let him do his job.
With Blackburn he spent £60m of jack walker which at that time nobody was spending near that KD should have been the stand in to make thing stable which he did. Remember RAFA was sacked under the last regime corrupt. Ok he never won the EPL but 1 CL 2 CL finales fa cup Euro super cup 2nd on the EPL we was very unlucky that season and at 1point we was rank number1 team in Europe under him. Don't forget what he did with Valencia in Spain 1 word Genius
ReplyDeleteThe cups dont have the prestige these days true but Little teams used to win back in the day too. Coventry in 87, Brighton made the final and West Ham won it from the old second division all in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteGood point. I keep reading on here how Kenny has no tactical clue but his record against the big sides blows that apart.
ReplyDeleteYou do relies it 30+ points between us and the EPL leaders even with MESSI next season lol would take some doing 2-3 years maybe but not under this managerial regime & squad I've been a LFC fan 30years so to me KD is a legend but I think is second coming was forced upon the owners
ReplyDeleteHe had to spend money with Blackburn as they just got promoted. How much were Man u worth in those days.
ReplyDeleteHow was Kenny being 'clearly restricted' by Comolli? What comments by FSG, Kenny, etc, confirm this? Please share these comments.
ReplyDeleteKenny took responsible for the signings, they were his signings.
Love Rafa.
ReplyDeleteKD is one of only 5 managers to win the Premier League though.
Yeah. Chelsea agreed to pay £35 Million for him to go to Liverpool so they could have Torres and give us £15 million.
ReplyDeleteThe reason the fee is an irrelevant measure is because LIVERPOOL didn't agree it. Chelsea and Newcastle did.
Your fact is WRONG. We sold Torres for Carroll + £15 million = FACT. Chelsea agreed to pay that much for Carroll. They could have said no and we would have kept Torres.
Simple really.
£35m = Carroll
ReplyDeleteRegardless of how it came about the agreement of the fee, we paid £35m for Andy bloody Carroll. My fact is RIGHT, we paid £35m for Andy Carroll. No one else did as he is at Liverpool, not Chelsea.
Simple really.
This is getting rather repetitive. Enjoy the sand, cheerio.
... and before you say it doesn't matter how the fee came about - yes it does because one is negligent the other irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteEither Liverpool looked at Carroll and decided he was worth £35 million - they didn't.
Or they decided they wanted £15 + Carroll for Torres - they did.
At no point were they able to take the money and then decide what to do with it. That wasn't the deal.
If anyone got shafted it was Chelsea. We couldn't have kept Torres once he decided the way he did at the last minute to leave.
Isn't it obvious? Dalglish's mission is to return Liverpool to its roots. He is Shankley, laying the foundation for the next Bob Paisley. I think once the club has retuned to the footballing ways that made it great, along with a modern commercial and business side, then Dalglish will be moved upstairs, and the tone will be set for the next manager to come in a create a dynasty. He's been given a three year contract and I'll predict it'll take that long. This year was to arrest the slide and change the clubs vision. Next year we'll see huge improvement, and we will go close in the league. Year after we'll be serious contenders in everything, only with a system in place to ensure its a continual process of generating winning teams. There could only have been one man capable of doing that. That man is Kenny Dalglish. Whether its Rafa, Blanc, Mourinho or whoever that eventually replaces him, I'll gaurantee you they'll inherit a club in great shape.
ReplyDeleteLove ur post mate, sick to death with all the emotional nonsense and king kenny can do no wrong, plus would never have rafa back, he had his chance and blew it. The way we are going we will just be a cup side and cannot not see us winning the league in a VERY LONGTIME IM AFRAID.
ReplyDeleteHe was under Rafa,the man hwo brought him back! That is the way it should have stayed!
ReplyDeletePaisley won the league for Dalglish by sitting in KK's office for the first three years telling him what to do !!! FACT!
ReplyDeleteThats not even worth a reply.
ReplyDeletePEP GUARDIOLA!!!!
