I can just imagine it. "Kenny thanks for coming .. you're fired" lol

On a serious note, aren't we going to the US for pre season ? Kenny going down there probably means he's just meeting people. Formalities etc. And i thought his son resides in the US now. I seriously doubt he went to the US just to talk about his future at the club. I mean even Rafa wasn't that desperate.

Well if they are going to sack him, I think this is more dignified and respectable than a phone call.

Certainly not more dignified than them going to England to inform him. Its like asking a person to fold his own knot to hang himself.

Well either that. Or Kenny has decided to walk. And i'm sure a man of his class would rather see say it to their face rather than wait around.

I doubt FSG will sack KD as he is still respected by most fan due to his legend status.

Most probably FSG will either let KD remain as Liverpool manager next season or offer him with other position in the club.

If Kenny does step down, here's a list of viable candidates.

http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/featur...es-and-m-172114?

Funny Martinez isn't there.

A phone call is much worse, no?

Apparently, Kenny decides to head home fast. Clarke stayed back, rejoins wife in Miami for holiday.

IF, and IF FSG doesn't sack KD, (which I hope they don't), then the past few hours or so, FSG has trolled every single fan.

Moyes ? haha these people are really taking the piss. Also some of those names are quite unrealistic. Klopp said no to Chelsea and I think AVB is taking the Roma job.

But if we could get Jurgen Klopp i'd be over the moon. Dortmund plays somewhat like Rafa's team but on steroids. Kagawa plays like Gerrard under Rafa - free role to roam. "Chaotic high tempo" as one article described their pressing game. Their current setup is somewhat like Arsenal, young - pacey - technical. If plan A doesnt work, their plan B was to simply run even more lol.

I believe LFC hv not fired any manager. All left with mutual consent. Its more or less the same as fired but both side agree to do it gracefully (plus sum money changing hand as compensation).

So I doubt we will be hearing firing news but if KK really is going then I xpect an announcement from both party informing us about the mutual separation.

i thought Henry did not summon KD to US, its KD who wanted to go to US to ask the owner about his future at the club. but i got a feeling that KD already stepped down from the club, if not why does the club refuse to comment on it?

Don't see AVB coming either as he's set to replace Enrique at Roma. The realistic options in that list Rafa and Rodgers though the latter will be somewhat of a risk given his inexperience. My apprehension of Rafa stems from the fact the he micromanages when I'd prefer players to be given more freedom and flexibility on the pitch. When we talk of Rafa, we think about his Valencia side that came to Anfield and played us off the park. Unfortunately there werent too many times we showed the same pedigree. Still, with more money to spend and owners who are willing to stay in the background, who knows?

I agree. If KD keeps the job, then there's no point for the club to deny it.

Well LFC can't make an announcement... I mean, LFC's Director of Communication got fired. LOL

i believe the only reason KD step down is because the owners is not satisfied with the direction the club is going and KD feels he might have bring the club down so hence he stepped down..

Check out the latest episode of The Anfield Wrap:
The Anfield Wrap - Ep 42

A podcast episode dedicated specially on the topic of Kenny. Sound argument presented by both sides of the coin, & even by those who are sitting on the fence.

Yeah there's a lot of ifs and buts when it comes to Rafa. As much i admire the man, i too have doubts whether or not he's the best person to rejuvenate this club. I mean its like back when Rafa was first hired and we were looking at Kenny to take the reign. I would still take him back but not after we have thoroughly looked around. I look at what Bielsa have done at A. Bilbao, making them play fantastic football. I look at how Dortmund out of desperation giving Klopp the chance to do his thing and now Dortmund are a force to be reckoned with. Then there's Rodgers who's made Swansea an average team that cost peanuts compared to our team and they play good football. Someone out there is the perfect candidate for the Liverpool job. We can only hope the club is working day and night looking for him - whoever he is.

PS: It's worth mentioning some of those teams don't just become what they are now over nights. It took Kopp several years to develop his ideas - his team finishing 6th in his first season. Who knows maybe Kenny simply needs time to develop his.

A statement from the club will be released in an hour about Kenny...

Who can ever forget this man. The man who made Liverpool the way it is today, if anyone deserves more than a second chance it's the King.

Paul Dalgish:

"The last thing my dad wants is to leave at this stage. More than anything he wants a chance to consolidate and better upon what has gone on this season. He has a long-term plan, and in my opinion, it would be incredibly short sighted - and also extremely telling - if he didn't get a chance to execute it. I'm confident he will get that chance but it's not down to us."
