Hope it's right.

Might actually win something.

gutted.

Viva the rafalution

He's getting a healthy £16million pay off though I see...

Given that a lot of clueless biffs in Warrington "support" Liverpool can this thread be locked immediately please?

Yours,
No further comment

oh well.... good things don't last forever.

Nah they've offered him a 3mil severance package, mainly because they can't afford the 16!

If only Rafa was the only problem at Anfield !

YANKS OUT

Birchy will be gutted !

As they always say who would be a football manager?

Can you imagine going into work every day not knowing whether you would face the sack and a £3million payoff? How can you live like that.

Roy Hodgson as a possible replacement ?

About time if you ask me - now if ony the yanks would p**s off we might be ok!

I would go for Dalglish. Won titles with Liverpool & Blackburn, got Newcastle to 2nd in the league and the FA Cup final. None of those clubs came close to repeating what he did, after he'd gone. Plus he's a good bloke.

Leaves Liverpool and possibly goes to manage another team that I support. Crikey.

And as for speculation regarding possible replacements.......underwhelmed is not the word.

I might apply for the job, I have won 7 trophies in 5 years on football manager 2010...

12 months too late for me, should have gone when his tinkering and big mouth cost us the league.
LFC prided themselves on a closed shop for years but Rafa's spats with the owners in public to try to get the fans on side may have worked in his mind but ruined the reputation of the club i have loved for nearly 35 years (Birthday on Saturday if anyone wants to send me a card). he had plenty of money and bought rubbish or bought well then sold them (Crouch) or lost them due to bad management (Alonso). yes the Yanks have racked up the debt but for me Benitez has used them as a smoke screen. Yanks out next too please too

Thank god Wires have got better so my life is not all doom & gloom

I worry about putting Dalglish back in charge, he has been out of top level football for a long time and things have changed a lot. A bit like Sir Bobby Robson at Newcastle when his training methods were from the 80's. I would not like him to fail as he should stay in the eyes of fans as "King Kenny" not a failure.

Paul Ince....

Loving this. Hope Liverpool go for Dalglish, that would be great from everyone else's perspective.
I was rather hoping Rafa-lution would remain in place. Doh.

i was thinking that Roy Hodgson would be good choice for Liverpool, but it would be too difficult to read out the team sheet with Cawwagher, Towwes, Gewward, Weina, Maschewano in the squad

Most Newcastle fans saw the Bobby Robson era as quite successful!

I think this argument is overstated about being out of football for a long time. It is not as though Dalglish is some relic from a dinosaur era. He is watching the game every week, he is involved with people coaching at the top level, I doubt there is anybody who has his finger closer to the pulse of Liverpool FC than Dalglish does.

It was a bigger gamble to appoint Dalglish as Liverpool manager in 1985 when he was just 34 and had no experience of even managing a pub team never mind being told to manage the dominant team in England. Can you imagine Ferguson retiring next year and Man United appointing Ryan Giggs as manager and saying well he was a great player and will command respect.....because thats all Dalglish was appointed on at the time. It would be seen as outrageous.

Dalglish did a great job as manager and although its easy to say he had the best team, he also had the biggest expectations and to hold off the threats of a strong Everton and emerging Arsenal under George Graham. Then he went to Blackburn and did the business again, and I don't believe he did buy the title like people often say, he didn't buy any ready-made big name stars, even Shearer had question marks over his goalscoring record before he joined....he put together a team of British players who had shown potential at other clubs, who turned into top players under him, eg Flowers, Sherwood, Wilcox, Ripley, Le Saux.

I think there's some managers who just instinctively understand football and Dalglish comes into that category, they would be good managers in any era. If he goes back to Liverpool he will command respect without needing to alienate the dressing room to "show whos boss". It will be hard to challenge United and Chelsea in the short term because of financial restrictions however the Liverpool fans will be realistic in their expectations and I think they would all be behind Dalglish and he would be able at least to get Liverpool back into the Champions League spots and be a threat in the cup competitions, whilst being a uniting figure rather than a divisive figure which Benitez was.

ahmen to that ....
I have my fingers crossed for Dalglish.......

you would like to think that if a player wasnt totally obsessed by money, they would jump at the chance to play for a manager that was arguablly one of the greatest players ever to lace up a a pair of football boots.

even with the club on its ar$e its still one of THE big clubs in Europe, maybe we dont have the money to "chuck around" but I would fancy Roy Hodgson, manager of the year or not is hardly a big draw for world class players......
