When I heard the news Kenny Dalglish was sacked I cant say I was surprised, the writing was on the wall after we lost to Swansea in our last match. But did he deserved the boot is a different question altogether. When we look back 18 months LFC was in total disarray thanks to Roy Hudson and the “other” american management. Even when KD started as a caretaker manager the fans knew the club was in good hands. lets never doubt for a minute the intentions of the man who has only good of the club in his mind. He manage to boost the morale of the team and the supporters, most of all with Kenny in charge we were still considered as a team not to be taken for granted and big name players were willing to come to. We should always be thankful to KD for that. The man is a legend no matter what. Though i love the man to death still i dont think Stuart Downing n Henderson was not worth the money we paid ( forget their playing form) yes, we did spend a lot on the fringe players.This is where i think KD kind of lost the plot. The team was in sync but then all went wrong once we started the season the form of the big ticket players nothing short dismal and our luck as we had it just ran out. 40+ shots on the wood work, 7 penalties missed etc dint help out case. Ofcourse we did manage to land a cup, (not very convincingly though). KD just couldn’t get the team into a consistent form or result. As always we stumble against the lower ranked clubs n do quite well against the top teams. But shouldn’t KD be given little longer time to prove him self ? agreed the season was dismal still he had a build a good team waiting explode, still i am not sure the managements decision was a wise one.
The worst this about KD getting sacked is now this decision has managed to divide the supporters. Going thru all the tweets and blogs i can see that this house is divided while some people are disallusioned by the decision there are some who welcomed it. I am sure the management would like to see their investment yeilding returns. Now the question is whats next ? will we see the likes of Jose mourinho managing the club or will we got the Chelsea way ( we had 4 managers in lil over 3 years) and continue the hire n fire culture !!! Being a fan over 26 years i am shocked n repulsed at some of the names recommended by the fans n others for KD’s replacement. Kenny is a Liverpool/football legend and no one can take that away from him. For me LFC is not just a football club we are much bigger than a football club and i hope no one destroys this great institution called Liverpool Football Club. YNWA…
