The History

On his appointment he released 24 players and began to reshape the team.Promotion to the First Division was achieved in 1961–62, and the club won the League for the first time in 17 years in 1963–64. Another League title followed in 1965–66, after the club had won their first FA Cup the previous season. The club won the League and UEFA Cup in 1972–73 and the FA Cup again a year later; after this, Shankly retired and was replaced by his assistant Bob Paisley.Paisley was even more successful than Shankly and the club won the League and UEFA Cup in 1975–76, his second season as manager. The following season they retained the League title, won the European Cup for the first time, but lost in the FA Cup final, narrowly missing out on a treble. Liverpool retained the European Cup the next season, and the season after won the League again with 68 points—a domestic record, conceding only 16 goals in 42 league matches.During the nine seasons Paisley managed the club, Liverpool won 21 trophies, including three European Cups, a UEFA Cup, six league titles and three consecutive League Cups. The only domestic trophy to elude him was the FA Cup.

Paisley retired in 1983 and (as Shankly had done) handed the reins to his assistant, veteran coach Joe Fagan. The succession of coaches came from the Anfield Boot Room where the Liverpool staff discussed strategy and allegedly stored gin.[10] Liverpool won three trophies in Fagan's first season in charge: the League, League Cup and European Cup, becoming the first English side to win three trophies in a season.Liverpool reached the European Cup final again in 1985. The match was against Juventus at the Heysel Stadium. Before kick-off, disaster struck: Liverpool fans breached a fence which separated the two groups of supporters and charged the Juventus fans. The resulting weight of people caused a retaining wall to collapse, killing 39 fans, mostly Italians. The match was played regardless and Liverpool lost 1–0 to Juventus. English clubs were consequently banned from participating in European competition for five years; Liverpool received a ten-year ban, which was later reduced to six years. Fourteen of their fans received convictions for involuntary manslaughter.

Fagan resigned after the disaster and Kenny Dalglish was appointed as player-manager.During his reign, the club won another three League Championships and two FA Cups, including a League and Cup "Double" in 1985–86. Liverpool's success was overshadowed by the Hillsborough Disaster: in an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989, hundreds of Liverpool fans were crushed. 94 fans died that day; the 95th victim died in hospital from his injuries four days later, and the 96th died nearly four years later without regaining consciousness. After the Hillsborough tragedy there was a governmental review of stadium safety. Known as the Taylor Report, it paved the way for legislation which required top-division teams to have all-seater stadiums. The report ruled that the main reason for the disaster was overcrowding due to a failure of police control.Dalglish cited the Hillsborough Disaster and its repercussions as the reason for his resignation in 1991. He was replaced by former player Graeme Souness. Apart from winning the FA Cup in 1992, Souness achieved little success and was replaced by a former member of the "Boot Room", Roy Evans. Evans fared little better: a League Cup victory in 1995 was his only trophy. Gérard Houllier was appointed as co-manager in 1998–99, but was left in sole charge after Evans resigned in November 1998.

In his second season in charge Liverpool won a unique treble of the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup.In the 2001-02 season, during which Houllier underwent major heart surgery, Liverpool finished second behind Arsenal.The following seasons failed to live up to expectations and Houllier was replaced by Rafael Benítez. The club finished fifth in his first season in charge but won the UEFA Champions League by beating Milan 3–2 in a penalty shootout after the match finished 3–3.The following season Liverpool finished third with 82 points—their highest total since 1988. They won the FA Cup as they had the Champions League victory the previous season, by beating West Ham United in penalty shootout after the match finished at 3–3. In 2006–07, the club's search for investment came to an end when American businessmen George Gillett and Tom Hicks became the owners of Liverpool in a deal which valued the club and its outstanding debts at £218.9 million. That season, the club reached another Champions League final, but this time lost 2–1 to Milan

Welcome welcome

thank you

Hope this new thread will bring less argument/name calling for all the Liverpool supporter for both Kenny supporters & Kenny haters......

I ike how you put it as kenny haters as if they are on the bad side.

We don't hate him. We are just pointing out the facts....

interested to buy the jersey...but the FREE t-shirt no stock already...might as well buy in m'sia in 2 months time

Best of luck with the bulk order led.

Gonna try catch the swansea later tonight. Read somewhere Swansea had over 60% of the possession, doesn;t sound good.

Yeah, though if you're S/M/L there's still stock for the free t-shirt.

How did u know that the FREE t-shirt is out of stock?

Charlie adam is real class man, I really miss both him and Lucas. Adam made 10 assists despite his injury. His passes are sublime.. Imagine, him and I really hope Rasmus Elm at CM. ooooh...

@Rotuham

Seriously, u gotta take a chill pill and stop with all your too negative thinking.....Don't take all the decision make by Kenny is wrong....

Me too don't like what was going on now with Kenny as manager where he certainly make too many wrong decision....But still, there should be a few good positive sign taking from our this season blip right?

tried to buy it this morning..my size XL got no stock already..other size i'm not sure..guess there were many fans with big belly like me

Arguments are welcomed. As long as the points brought up are relevant to the core of the discussion.

As for bickering and name calling, seems like whoever doesn't support the notion of Kenny leading the charge in EPL will be automatically branded as traitors, fake fans, plastics etc and...... for that my friend, you have to ask the other camp. When ppl can't discuss a point maturely, they have to resort to name callings. That's what they do.

Yea, a little bit of sarcasm in the posts will light things up, but seems to me not everyone can take it.

Just to set the record straight, we the non-KD believers have never disrespected KK as what so called "True Reds" have been lambasting us all season, calling him to step down and give way to other capable managers is only so because we don't think he's got the goods to take us forward. 100mil spent and taking us backwards while getting leapfrogged by clubs who spent zilch and sold their best players to us. Acceptable to you? Sorry mates it's not gonna slide with me regardless of what Paul Tomkins wrote in his blog.

We almost got our asses kicked from the top 8th position and haven't sunk so low since 1954, where Liverpool got relegated from the old First Division.

To me, this whole KD era is reaching its end, I got a feeling that John Henry is a realist like a few here, who will not tolerate any nonsense or excuse from his subjects judging from the axes so far. I would love to see KD retain a position in the club as an ambassador but seriously, his coaching days are over.

i heard on radio jes nau, skrtel asking to leave?

Manaboleh.jpg

Stop listening to rumours. When LFC gives a statement then we can take the word for it.

to summarise how i feel LFC's performance this season: way too inconsistent.

KD needs to elevate his players going for top honours. Looking back at Liverpool's performances during RB era, the club miss that European flair.

LFC now needs to invest in world class players and not upcoming/promising youngsters.

Then you will be disappointed for sure. FSG's transfer policy for LFC as we know it at this very moment, is to spot emerging talents from the youth market and groom them to be the next Lionel Messi.

As much as i want it, sorry to say we dun have the funds to shop for established players or Snoop Dogg, (we had it at one time but blew it off completely) owners are Americans afterall and this whole LFC takeover is an investment game to them, they want stability and profits.

Im not sue if that Jonah Hill policy will bode well for the club, we used to have a bunch of world class talents in the youth ranks during Rafa's era but most of them have faded off from the scene just like Titus James Palani.

Looks like There's no one out there to supervise the transition of these players from the reserve league to first team. Sad indeed. We need to bridge this gap if we are to move in that direction.

This post has been edited by carloz28: May 14 2012, 05:06 PM

I think it might be true. Skrtel isn't with us against Swansea.

aww man. sad to read that.

It's like Newcastle's transfer policy under mike ashley. If that's the case, the scout and head coach have to be very good in selecting the players.

Added on May 14, 2012, 5:15 pmC'mon, he and agger has an awesome partnership.

Coates still needs some time to fit in the defensive line up. Carragher can't be back up forever.

Liverpool needs to find a suitable rightback to cover Johnson when he's injured. probably a left back as well to cover the inconsistency of Enrique.

Mate, he broke his nose. Didn't meant anything

Your opinion is that i am being too negative.My opinion is that i am being a realist.If the positives from this season outweigh the negatives,then you have a point.As it stands now,kenny's record is worse than roy.

You will know when checking out after placing your order into the basket.
If the free t shirt is there, then it is available. If it's not then it's already sold out.

Basically buying size XL will automatically get XL size free shirt. Unfortunately, you are unable to choose to other size in case the free shirt is out of stock.

argued till tired d. facts are facts. positive is positive negative is negative. judging from our objectives this is a failure season. if we to do a double over all the top4 but get relegated, is it considered a successful season? what about losing both home and away to the bottom 5 but became champions? in the end, results matter, correct? deep in our hearts, the table matters no?

Unfortunately, all free t-shirts have been sold out. I'll be cancelling the bulk as a few of the orders I got specifically wanted the free t-shirts as well. Not enough orders to meet MOQ.

I guess I'll just wait for it to arrive at our shores.

Btw, if you're wondering how the kit looks like in comparison to the Adidas', somebody posted this on RAWK:

we did play beautiful football at times but ask Arsenal fans...

Borrell is the person that supervise the transition and he's now in charge of the reserve team. But the thing with our youth setup, the new education starts as early as the age of 8. So as it stands, the current crop of youth in our reserve team have missed a big chuck of the new education. Sterling was brought in at the age 16 and the likes of Coady were about that age when Borrell first introduced his ideas. I think realistically, it won't be for another half of decade or maybe longer before we actually see the real effect of the new football curriculum.

We really do have our work cut out for us this Summer. I mean where do you even begin.

Looks real classy. Keeping it simple is perfection. Love this. Can't wait to see how the away kit looks like, heard it's slim fit. If it is, defo getting it

the red looks faded / more orangey.

Just read a joke of the year on ESPN.com

Sir Alex said, ManC is hundred years behind MU.

Yea..finally i can see someone backing Adam up instead of flaming him, there is even player that are happy with his injury...his assist really good, but not so consistent and hardworking...

His performance in 1st half of the season look decent but his performance in 2nd half of the season is like sh*t.

I still hope KD will sell Adam and keep Aqua.

Of course it matters but we've made a mess the last time we madee decisions based on results like sacking Rafa. Some people here thought it was the right thing to do. Look at us now, you could say that we're arguably worst off after removing Rafa. Put it this way, what if we fire Kenny then hire some random manager, and then few seasons down the road we find ourselves relegated. I'm not saying that will happen if we fire Kenny, just that being too result oriented can sometimes back fire like we did with Rafa.

You may think it's easy to work out but in truth, it is far from easy. We have a habit of shooting ourselves in the foot and making decisions for the sake of it is not always the best way forward. If Kenny is out of his depth, then we as fans are more clueless than he is.

This post has been edited by hfi: May 14 2012, 06:15 PM

He is lazy at times, but much more productive than the lot of em. His technique makes up for his lack of pace, he's shown some skill in taking players on.

Here's another player linked to us, from Wigan. Mohamed Diame. He's 24, and plays at CDM. A good back up in my books, shown his creativity and pace. Seems good to me.



Honestly I wouldn't mind Martinez taking over actually, Wigan has been playing brilliant passing movement throughout the season. And the latter adapts that one touch football philosophy.

This post has been edited by SuperDuperFaith: May 14 2012, 06:29 PM

Adam is obviously skilled but his lack of atheletism is a problem in high tempo game. But what's more worrying is his mindset. I can understand players mishitting a long pass every now and then, but Adam fails to make a delivery from a dead ball and that's a big problem.

Charlie Adam for sure is very lazy in the field, which it may be improve by lots of training.
Still, with a good lecture from the manager will make him wake up..LOL
Btw, in the previous post, i mean "fans" but typo as player, it is some of the fans happy with his injury, which is cruel..=.=

pls no martinez for manager,,, he's only good for long term building squad while fan here wanna 1-season-win-title type of manager...

some ppl flame hendo,carroll,jonjo atm while their true potential will come 2 years from now on

lol?

Hicks & Gillette was waiting for any excuses to sack Rafa. They knew that he is a legend among the fans. He got the sacking once we didn't qualified for CL. Rafa was the only one who dare to oppose the previous owner openly. He was trying all he can to kick them out of the club.

Rafa's passion for the club are second to none. I'd say he contributed more towards Liverpool than most manager. Remember when Birmingham was trying to sign Babel and Rafa was asking for sky high price? Because he doesn't want to sell. He knew if he sell, he wouldn't be able to use the money to strengthen the squad anyway. All of it would be used to pay the interest we owed RBS. He really got his hand tied to his back during that time.

Plus even after he was sacked he didn't sell his house in Liverpool. He knew one day he will be back. He still had unfinished business here. He also contributed a hefty sum from his sacking money to the Hillsborough Disaster Charity. That really shows you what love he had for Liverpool.

Well the most important part is that he is the only one who dare to speak out against Fergie... And that's classic

I really really wish John Henry will give him another chance to prove himself here. The club that he loves.

Yeah, the Adidas kit is more to a dark blood colour while the new kit is more orangey, closer to our old kits.

Why is it that our big players (The big Cs - Crouch, Coates and now Carroll) are the ones who could score overhead goals?

The problem I have Adam is that he's slow and I'm don't mean his pace. There's a saying in football, "The first 5 yards is in the head," unfortunately Adam doesn't have that. He's the type of player needs time on the ball and whenever he's pressured he tends to make mistakes. Even when he delivers that Hollywood pass, he only does it in 2 conditions:
1) He has ample of space ahead of him to push the ball forward
2) The ball is in the perfect position for him to swing his left foot

In the first half of the season you can see Lucas doing a lot of the dirty work, often relieving Adam from the pressure. But as soon Lucas got injured, he has been exposed over and over again.

As for dead ball situations and set pieces, do you still remember Ferguson once claimed that Adam's corners are worth 10million alone? That penalty miss at Wembley still haunts me.

someone let henry know to bring Rafa back please!!

As it stands now it's 59 people who wouldn't mind kenny leaving compared to 40 who want kenny to stay.

If football was a popularity contest, Lucas Leiva would have been sold 3 seasons ago for nought.

My opinion is that we should look forward not the past.
People said kenny had unfinished business at liverpool when he came and it turned out very badly with very little progress or lack of it.

i voted wrongly. should be on 2nd. somehow terpress 1st. =_= bugger.

You have no dispute from me about Rafa. I've always liked him as a person and as a manager. It pains me until today that we just ditched him like that. One could say you reap what you sow.

I think you're spot on. He's not quick in the mind and this further handicaps him given his below average physique. As a result he often becomes ponderous on the ball and looking lost when off the ball. Xabi had no real pace but the quickness of mind allowed him to make quick decisions like sensing danger before it happens or the ability to create space when pressured.

Lucas leiva was young and had no epl experience when he came.All these so called british talent henderson,downing and adam had plenty of experience.Besides,we didn't pay silly money like we did for downing and adam.

My point is don't compare apple and oranges.People like to bring up lucas at the slightest bit.

This post has been edited by Rotuham: May 14 2012, 08:35 PM

we should look forward, but at the moment which top class manager would wanna manage liverpool other than Rafa? no top class manager would wanna manage liverpool now because they know they will be constantly in pressure to bring to club back to top four so they would rather manage club that has been in a stable league position.

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news...kenny-challenge

On another note, according to OptaJoe, this:

"132 - Liverpool allowed the opposition fewer shots on target than any other PL club in 2011-12 (via @OptaJoe) #LFCLive"

Rubbish, Lucas came to us at 19 and it was not until a couple years back that people began to change their minds about him. He's now 25 years old.

i heart roberto martinez is being mooted take over at the helm. any thoughts?

Rafa's tactic in Istanbul..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=...n&v=4WDdM-jrgAY

Know your mistakes and learn from it...

The master tactician!!!

Didn't know 19 is old already

Lucas stepped up when mascherano left.He struggled with the pace of EPL and had the disadvantage of being compared against a world class midfield trio of alonso,mascherano and gerrard.

The criticism of him were justified but not the harsh abuse like ''he sucks'' ''he's shit''.
Besides lucas only played when one of mascherano or alonso couldn't play.Remember the 4-1 at OT.He played only because alonso's wife was delivering.

Just a rumor. Not sure where it originated from maybe because he's a Catalan and the football minds at Anfield are mostly led by Catalan coaches.

Rafa Benitez, one of the greatest managers ever to grace the club.

It's a cardinal sin FSG is not rehiring him back really.


IRWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The difference between 21 and 19 is not huge at all. They are still young players who needs time to adapt and discover their true purpose on the pitch. The criticism was unjust - he was booed on the pitch and there's no Liverpool player more hated than Lucas back then.

Henderson is going through the very same thing. "His passes are sideways, he doesnt tackle, he doesnt score enough goals". People are quick to judge because they only see what they want to see.

As expected but the highlighted bit in bold...

Skrtel named LFC Player of Season[U]

Martin Skrtel was today crowned the Standard Chartered Liverpool FC Player of the Season for 2011-12.



The Slovakian clinched the award after fans voted for their star man of the campaign on this website.

Skrtel tallied an incredible 44 per cent of the 66,937 votes cast.

Luis Suarez was the runner-up with 33 per cent, while Daniel Agger clinched third after collecting four per cent.

2011-12 was Skrtel's most consistent season in a Liverpool jersey, with the 27-year-old cementing his place amongst the finest central defenders in Europe.

Our No.37 made a total of 45 appearances and helped himself to four goals, including a crucial equaliser in the Carling Cup final triumph over Cardiff City at Wembley in February.

Upon being presented with the award at Melwood, Skrtel told Liverpoolfc.tv: "It's a great feeling. It's my first big award at Liverpool and I'm very happy about it.

"I think it was my best season since I came to Liverpool and I'm happy with my performances. I hope I will carry on in this way.

"I scored more goals than in past seasons, and I also think the way I played was better than in past years.

"Thank you very much to everybody who voted for me. I will try to do my best next season as well and we'll see how I go on."

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news...layer-of-season

Doesn't sound like a player who wants out.

Average physique? That's very kind of you.

You're completely missing my point here. Why do people bring up Lucas' case all the time? Because it's the classic case where the fans don't know any better. All I'm saying is, if we left the club to be managed by the fans, Lucas would have been sold for free 3 seasons ago.

You pointed out that the number of people who don't mind Kenny leaving outnumbered the rest but truth is, it doesn't mean a single thing.

Rafa is a legend. Either way, the decision is in the hands of the owners. YNWA

Now is it?

If Kenny leaves, although my heart says Benitez but my head says otherwise. Yes, no doubt Rafa will guide us to top 4 and get us back to one of Europe's elite. We will be tight again and teams will find it tough to break us down.

But will we win the Premier League eventually? I don't know. Rafa was given 6 years at the club but it was only in that half season that we looked like challenging for the title. Days where we struggled to create chances (As opposed to our woes this season, where we've created a whole load of chances but not scored) against the likes of Stokes shouldn't be forgotten.

Sure, you may argue that Rafa wasn't given the funds or the power to sign the players he wanted. However, with the current predicament I doubt FSG would be likely to spludge. Moreover, if he's going to report to a Director of Football, can they work together?

This post has been edited by led_zep_freak: May 14 2012, 09:16 PM

Well we don't really have a DOF currently. But i can see there may be problems if there was one and Rafa's the manager. But its been awhile since his last job so he may have changed a bit or maybe even discover new methods. Slim chance but a chance nevertheless. Just think how players like Carroll can benefit from the hands on training of Rafa Benitez.

When people say we should look forward and not backwards that's simply not true with Rafa Benitez. He's a forward thinking manager and he's not restrained by football cliches. Unless you want the ultra extreme forward thinking managers like Jurgen Klopp, not that i think he would leave Dortmund for a club like ours - Rafa is as modern as it gets. People can argue all they want about his rotations or zone marking or lack of goals or even his ego - but his team was up there as one of European elites.

We were simply a force to be reckon with.

Well, apart from the negatives;

Skrtel won the award. 44%

Suarez is runner up 33%

then Agger with 4%.

That adds up 81%. The other 19 shared amongst other players?

now having 2 defenders up the list. Hmm.

I for one think that Stuart Downing would be the one benefit the most. Speaking of Carroll though, do you think he would make it into Rafa's team? He favours his 5-4-1 formation and rarely plays 2 upfront. There's a good chance that Suarez will be shifted to the right.

Well I know what you're saying about Rafa. I was a staunch supporter of Rafa, still am. But even so, I'm still unsure if he's able to crack the Premier League code.

Having that said, IMO it's highly unlikely that Rafa will be called for the job. He doesn't fit FSG's profile as they are looking for a young manager. How about... Cruyff for DOF and Guardiola for manager? If only things were that simple.

Well Cruyff as DOF is promising. He did had a fallout with Ajax's boardroom, didn't he?

Added on May 14, 2012, 10:17 pmRemember Torres and Gerard combo?
Suarez can play behind Carroll.
(Gerrard can't play behind striker nowadays. He's getting slow as his age is catching up).

Can Carroll hold the ball in front? We'll see.

This post has been edited by ALeUNe: May 14 2012, 10:17 PM

There's always that doubt led, even im not 100% sure of Rafa or any other manager for that matter.

With Downing, I'm not sure what Rafa will do with him. I don't think he rates him that highly because he's had the chance to sign him before and he never did. Rafa rates the player's mentality higher than their ability, he would go as far as to sign players with bad rep because even they have strong mentality. The only exception was Babel, but he was more like Rafa's wildcard - as shit as he was, he could still pull off the unexpected.

I don't think Carroll's would be Rafa's first choice to replace Torres but I remember him saying he wanted Keane and Torres up front with Barry to play on the left. That would mean a variation of the 442 formation, which can easily feature both Suarez and Carroll.

I'm all for younger manager but younger manager generally needs more time to develop their ideas. If we sack Kenny now, we will be most certainly not giving the younger managers time to develop their own ideas. This is the dilemma for us right now. But yeah, Cruyff and Pep sounds good. Somehow i feel we will be looking at the Spanish to solve our predicament. Which is why i think Martinez's name is being thrown about. I will not even be surprise if Borrell happens to become our manager one day.

So guys,how is your LYN LFC fantasy standings?

I got 39 out 91 and totalled 1791.Not bad since first time playing it.All these while never had the interest.

The telegraph has reported KD and SC have flown to Boston to meet up with the owners. The next 24 hours... Let's see how it goes.

The news is all over reporting that KD and SC flew to boston for meeting. Guess we know their fate real soon. SC might stay but I doubt KD's chance after his latest outburst at the owners.

What outburst?

They got to fly to Boston? The air ticket ain't cheap.
There is no need to fly if Henry has his decision in mind.
So, I think we'll see King Kenny next season.

Well, I think two or three thousands quids of air ticket is only like what an average football player earns in less than a day, let alone the football club or Henry. We might see Kenny going into management team instead of coaching. We'll see though, the media might probably have made a big deal out of it anyway.

Gary neville just joined England coaching staff lol..a guy with no coaching experience with clubs before can join england coaching staff lol

"Gary has achieved so much in the game as a player with Manchester United and England," said Hodgson. "He has obtained Uefa coaching qualifications and will be tremendously respected by the players because of his vast experience as a player."

when his own brother in everton refuses to even acknowledge him. ha ha!

Rafa Benitez's former assistant Xavi Valero is mulling over the possibility of a return to Anfield, after Fenway Sports Group made him a formal offer to return to the coaching staff.
The highly-rated goalkeeping coach (39) has been out of work since leaving Inter Milan when Rafa Benitez was bombed out after challenging club president Massimo Moratti to 'back him or sack him' in relation to transfer funds.
Valero has continued to work with Benitez as an assistant and like the former Liverpool manager, he continues to reside on Merseyside. 
Meanwhile, newspaper reports tomorrow (Tuesday) will claim that Reds boss Kenny Dalglish wasn't "summoned" to Boston for talks with club owners FSG but that he made the decision himself to fly out there to try and clear up speculation relating to his future before a planned family holiday on Wednesday.
Finally, former Liverpool target Eden Hazard has confirmed that he will be moving to Manchester in the summer. Premier League champions Manchester City are favourites to land him.

To be honest anyone who watches his tactical analysis on Sky Sports you'll be very impressed as well and it really justifies why he deserves a chance. I hated him as a player for obvious reasons but I gain a lot of respect this season after he joined Sky Sports as a pundit. I know it's just ultimately a TV show but he talks more practical and tactical side of football. For example, he spent 15 minutes analysing diving in EPL after Young's incident, such as how defenders' body shape should be and many sensible stuff, basically no 'talk cock' like those sitting on ESPN or even BBC Match of the Day. Last week he analysed England's previous tactical problems on Monday Night Football too. There are a lot more out there, it really shows how much of football knowledge this man has. Plus he's got UEFA coaching qualifications and he knows many of the big players in the squad. So I don't see why not.. Of course only time will justify whether it's a good appointment or not. We can just wish him best of luck.
