Dalglish resigned/sacked?

Stronger rumours (loltwitter) that Clarke is indeed gone. Ian Ayre is apparently also gone. What the hell's going on?!? Are FSG just trying to ruin us?
 
Reckon he should have been given another season. OK, he made some bad buys, but all managers do that. Even fergie has bought some absolute numptys in his reign.

Plus he won a cup, granted its the carling cup, but its a trophy in his first reason, and got to the final of another. He could have done a lot worse..

Shame he was sacked rather than given the chance to resign and remain at the club but he had it coming after the season we've just had.

Him remaining at the club in any form while he retained the support of a large section of supporters would cause nothing but problems.

The owners have got a lot of work on their hands. They need to appoint a CEO (how long has that been now?), a DoF, a director of communications and a manager.

No, money brought back in doesn't count, when will Liverpool fans get this.

You sell 1 player and bring in 10mil, no players and no money or sell the entire squad and raise £100mil.

That is money in, when you SPEND money on players, that is £120mil, it does not matter if that money comes from loans, money from player sales or from Daglish's ass, he's spent £120mil, the financial safety of spending isn't in question.

The only question is HOW he spent £120mil, he could have spent around £18mil on, Cabaye, Tiote, Ba and Cisse, instead he chose to spend £120 mil on one good player and a pile of garbage.

How much brought in is only used in comparison to how Liverpools spending stacks up to other clubs, NOT on how well a manager spent that money. Daglish spent it almost as badly as you possibly could have, you could have spent £20mil on the same number of players to be exactly as bad.

AS for having no understanding of the game, and if the owners are in a position to sack the manager. Owners ask manager, how much do you need to get in the top four as that is our target..... manager gives owners list of players and prices, they agree. A year later all the signings have been utter flops, completey, they are doing far worse with these signings. There is no football coming into it, this is a manager of a company, who absolutely failed, miserably, to achieve any target he was set and said he could achieve, he spent massively to do so, and wasted the vast majority of the money he spent, while also overseeing Liverpool's name being tainted over a racist allegation that he handled entirely inappropriately.

Spot on about net spend.

So, for example, when you lose Fernando Torres and replace him with Carroll, you ignore the fact that you've lost a certain player and automatically expect you'll be better off because you've spent £x? By DM's thinking, Liverpool should have been better off when we lost Mascherano and got Poulsen, after all losing a player counts for nothing, we had £5m to replace him.

To an extent - at the same time, you can't deny that Dalglish ought to have done much, much better with the money he spent, whether or not he made that money from sales.

Of course. That doesn't mean the owners have invested £100m+ into new players which is what Tummy said, that led to Dan's post.
 
Like DM and manic have said. If you're given 100million to spend and you spend it on **** then you've still spent poorly.

Net spend doesn't effect the way you used the money you had available, sorry Rotty.
 
Didn't Ancelotti say when he left Chelsea that he would want another crack at a job in England? He could be an option. Not sure if Liverpool could afford him though???

He's not going to leave PSG. I'd rather have Capello anyway but that's not going to happen and not because of money.
 
£100+m (~one year) to get the league cup and Europa qualification or £1bn (~four years) for the Premiere League, a FA cup and CL qualification. Silly money.
 
They should have stuck with Dalglish, no other manager will care about the club so much. How many times did the players hit the crossbar or posts this season? A lot of games they dominated. Bring in a couple more strikers and they might have been there.

Man C spent best part of a billion to win the league, and they only just did that.

Let's face it, the new owners cannot compete financially.
