My fear of 'small' managers is that they have a small mentality like Woy....methinks AVB had the same.
Cautious conservative approach to the game.
Furhermore they will not be able to attract Big name players that easily.

For discussion sakes of smaller names, what of Di Matteo...only for discussion.

And the 1 year cycle will go on and on with FSG......sacking FSG

You speak for yourself.

No TRUE fan IMO would call for the sacking of kenny who
happens to be the greatest Liverpool FC player/manager ever.

ONE seasong goal? And sacked?

The word 'sacked' should never be associated with Kenny.

i didnt not call AVB a small amanger because of his acheivements. But i said 'small mentality'.

Stepping from clubs like W Brom, swansea takes a lotta mental strength.
Forst of all, there are BIG egos at Big clubs. Thats a very big hurdle. Thats what brought AVB down
He tried to rid the olde players....they united and got rid.

i agree we need to take the bull by the horns. Capello and Rafa fit the bill.

BUT and very big BUT they need the owners to support them through this.
If the owners are bent on results in the TRNSITION, then it will be another year of Sacking

That statemnet does not stand alone.....theres still the Liverpool way.
Sacking Kenny is not the Liverpool way. It maybe Chelseas way BUT its not the Liverpool way.

Now begs the questions

a) Who to bring in?
b) How much will he/she get for transfers
c) What IS Suceess?
d) What if he doesnt succeed?
e) Is sacking your manager after 1 season the NEW Liverpool way?

Better stay with Kenny. no?

This move ie VERY disruptive....may set us back 3 years. Players may leave.
MORE disruption. sad.......

Aye. You know the fast food with their poisons.

In Red sox, they sacked the manager after 1 bad season after two world wins!

Now they are on their way down...last in their conference!
This is the owners we have now.....

Very good points...only result matters.
Thats why they their financiers sold their souls to the devil to make that extra $$$ and caused
the financial crsis....only results matter.

The soul of Liverpool FC will be gone

i think in all of these mishaps and underachievemnets, we forget we ARE in Europa.

How much is that worth?

IF FSG pocketed the money, the sales would not have gone through.
It s an open secret that the sales of Torres was hinged to buying of Carroll.
On top of that, you think the creditors would be happy joes if FSG pocketed
the sales monies from Liverpool FC?

Methinks you better calculate again

200k PER WEEK....... thats 10mil sterling pounds PER YEAR

5 years means 50 million sterling

You pocket something if you made profit normally.
But thats not even possible because its hinged to the Carroll transfer.

i agree...thus the new manager will always face the risk of failure with such players aka Adam. Downing who were
key for their past clubs

Interesting name here...... Marcelo Bielsa (A Bilbao)

But hes no young Un...and his Engerlund sucks apparently!

He could bring Llorente over!

Kenny will be torn apart by how this has ended: Alan Hansen

Although he won the Premier League as Blackburn manager in 1995 and also managed Newcastle and Celtic, he only ever really wanted to be at Liverpool and he waited so long to go back there.

Even when he was at Liverpool in his role as ambassador, prior to replacing Roy Hodgson as manager last year, he would pour his heart and soul into the club and spend more time there than anybody else.

Whenever I would call him on a Sunday, I would ask him where he was and he would be down at the Academy. He was non-stop.

So as his friend, I am really upset for Kenny because I know just what it meant for him to be back at Anfield.

He will be torn apart by the way it has ended and the reality that he will no longer be able to go back and mix with the players.

It was the only job he wanted so, knowing him as I do, I don’t think there is any chance whatsoever of him managing again at another club.

I don’t know whether there was the possibility of Kenny remaining at Liverpool in his old ambassadorial role, but there is the chance that such a situation could have made it difficult for whoever replaces him as manager.

Let’s face it, Kenny might be too big a figure for the owners and the new manager to have around the club because, whoever comes in, they are never going to be bigger than Kenny Dalglish in the eyes of most people with an affiliation to the club.

Everybody in football understands that time is a precious commodity, but I think many believed that Kenny had earned another year at least to get it right at Anfield.

When he took charge again in January last year, the club were on their knees in many respects and he was delighted to be back involved.

The revival the team enjoyed in the second half of the season saw them just miss out on qualification for Europe and, although the target was to challenge for the Champions League places this season, it was hugely important for the club to end their six-year trophy drought by winning the Carling Cup.

Kenny knew how critical it was to get Liverpool back in the Champions League again, but he also believed that winning a trophy would be significant in terms of moving the club forward.

When you win silverware, it can be a springboard to greater success and I cannot believe that the owners would have parted company with Kenny had he also guided the team to the FA Cup.

How can you get rid of a manager who wins you two trophies? Had Andy Carroll’s goal stood in the FA Cup final against Chelsea, Liverpool may have ended the season having won two of the three competitions that they entered, so there would have grounds for optimism in the build-up to next season.

But the fact that the owners would not answer questions about Kenny’s future in the aftermath of the Wembley defeat by Chelsea suggested that there were problems ahead.

Until the last couple of days, though, I do not think anyone saw this coming because there was a feeling that Kenny had done enough to earn another year.

If the owners had backed him and allowed him to bring in a couple of players in, then Kenny would have been confident in being able to progress the team.

But my concern is that Liverpool will face a problem in keeping hold of their best players now that Kenny has gone. In my opinion, the likes of Luis Suárez, Pepe Reina, Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger would be more likely to stay at the club under Kenny Dalglish than anybody else.

Throughout last season, it was clear that the players were 100 per cent behind Kenny and, when a manager goes, it always leads to uncertainty and confusion.

But the owners now have to quickly find a new man and go about identifying new players and keeping those already there because the new season is only 10 weeks away.

In making the change, Liverpool’s owners have set the bar high for whoever comes in by making it clear that they are determined to get the club back into the Champions League.

Kenny has a trophy this season and finished eighth, so what will happen in 12 months’ time if the new man finishes seventh and wins nothing?

Liverpool are now looking for their fourth manager in two years, with Kenny following Roy Hodgson and Rafael Benítez in leaving the club, so they have to be careful.

If you are looking for stability, then you cannot find that by changing key personnel on a regular basis.

Kenny will regret not getting the club back into the Champions League, but when he reflects on his second spell as manager, he will look back on a time when he steadied the ship and brought success back by ending their long wait for a trophy.

You are from the sky gen then.......?
