Liverpool need someone young, someone dynamic, who's used to working with foreign owners. Ideally, they could continue the tradition of fine Scottish managers at the club.

Has anyone got Steve Kean's number?

They must have someone lined up or Kenny forced their hand yesterday. If they don't then of course it reflects badly on FSG.

As for Martinez. My opinion. Too big a step up and his teams concede far too many goals. Villa would be a good move for him.

I'd take Capello, the 10th place madman, Klopp or however u spell his name all before Rafa. There's no one in the premiership I'd want.

Shame about Clarke, if true. Our defence was generally bloody good last season.

Right so Kenny has gone but lets all take a reality check.
We finished 8th in the league, our worst season for half a fking century. Anfield was turned into a play ground for away teams and it got to the point where teams fighting relegation were fighting each other to play us.
Yes we scraped a Cup win against a Championship side and played like muppets for an hour in the FA cup before we were rightly beaten but its not exactly something I want to shout about.

Dalglish is a total legend but his handling of the Saurez episode was extremely poor and coupled with the piss poor league form, I think this is the right and proper decision I really do.

We have to look forward and watching Man City win the league just really enforced the idea that it woud not happen with Kenny in charge. We need to go out and get a top manager. Our team aint that bad, only one or 2 signings are needed but I simply cannot see us competing under Kenny. I would give anything for that to change but it wont so lets stop slagging the owners and see what happens.

What's wrong with Nevs appointed anointed as coach?

Respect? You mean like the respect Dalglish paid to the game, the fans, the governing body, the independent panel and, most importantly, the victim in a racial incident leading to the banning of one of his players?

The guy turns up to major finals at the national football stadium wearing a track suit.

Dalglish has done admirable things in his career, but I would not place him as a person who shows respect.

If you only take the league position into account it would seem harsh but that is a tiny bit of the story, add in the Suarez affair and the 100 million (yeah net whatever you still spent it) then it all adds up to a cacophony of errors and I imagine is why he has gone

Everton and Newcastle showing how it can be done on much less of a budget won't have helped either and again I imagine thats why a number of the backroom team went

Id feed him to the pigs out of Hannibal, that would be more entertaining than his jokes have been today...

I've been fed...

TBH I couldn't care less about the whole race thing. He called him a name, not a nice name but at the end of the day it was a whole of farce for a name calling incident. Even if Suarez is in the local anti white/black/yellow/gay club in his spare time I really couldn't care less BUT if he couldn't score then that's another story. I've seen people getting let off for more actual serious crimes than a bit playground hype name calling. Right or Wrong it's just my opinion.

Was it a LFC track suit? Have you been to Liverpool in the last 30 years years and seen what people there wear?

I believe it's being considered by Martinez who may accept or decline, I truly hope he declines it but it's his call I'm told.
