Bye King Kenny, You'll Never Walk Alone

I refuse to say 'sacked' in this. I just don't feel it's a correct term to use when talking about Kenny Dalglish. When I found out that Dalglish had been relieved of his duties I was, like most of us, gutted.

FSG decided to part with Kenny after a disappointing League season despite guiding the reds to two Cup finals and returning to Europe at the first time of asking and bringing major Silverware back to the club for the first time since 2006. There are many suggesting that the handling of the Suarez/Evra case was another major factor in the dismissal of Dalglish. I was hoping like many, that Dalglish was given one more season to bring what is seen as the most important thing in football now: Finishing in the Champions League places. Given long term backing I genuinely believe Dalglish could have achieved fantastic Success.

FSG now have another problem on their hands now, however. After parting with the greatest Liverpool Legend, a man who fans have more patience with than anyone, will have to be replaced. Recent favorites to take charge have been Martinez and AVB, but who would be a suitable man to take the helm?

Martinez - After somehow managing to save relegation destined Wigan, Roberto Martinez is being tipped to be the next Man in charge of the reds. Wouldn't it though, put us in the same Situation as Hodgson. A man who was partly successful at a small club then as soon as they move to a bigger club they fail due to the high expectations. A big favorite but no, please just no.


Villas Boas - Sacked by Chelsea earlier on in the season for a disappointing campaign Andre Villas-Boas is another linked with the available job at Liverpool. It's possible that the players here are more likely to treat him with more respect than the Chelsea players and has some great ideas and tactics. Another favorite, could be successful? 


Rafa - Maybe more of a sentimental option though it's hard to say Rafa's spell in charge was unsuccessful after leading the Reds to 2 Champions League finals, winning 1 of them, lifting the FA cup, finishing second in the league and ranking the best team in Europe at the time. A popular option with the fans, but would it work second time round?


Carragher - It seems that Kop Legend Jamie Carragher is coming to the end of his playing career though he could continue his playing success with Liverpool into a managerial role at Anfield. He's already completed coaching badges and has suggested that he would one day be interested in managing. More unlikely but imagine the possibilities...



Whoever FSG decide to bring we should back. Fans are becoming more and more fickle. A lot of us forget that they saved us from Administration not long ago, abuse isn't necessary.

Decision already made?

Despite ending on a low, Dalglish is the King and forever will be. There never will be a man like Kenny again. You helped us when we needed it most but when you needed the support sadly you weren't given it.
Thank you, King Kenny. You'll Never Walk Alone.
