Liverpool Football Club remains and enticing professional prospect for any top player or manager alike. Although the Reds have fallen down the pecking order Uefa rankings and have one 1 piece of silverware in its most recent history, the Club still represents ‘an ultimate experience’ for anyone that is asked to play for or manage [...]...Champions League Tribute : Rafa Benitez – One Of Us [video]

19 May 2012, 8:10 am
Those that thought Kenny’s removal as manager was not a possibility must be living in another universe. FSG started ‘cracking the whip’ (as I have a habit of writing) as the season came to a close rather progressively and aggressively. Comolli, Bruckner, Cotton and now Dalglish have all been unceremoniously removed which means that the [...]...Loss of innocence
18 May 2012, 12:31 pm
By Delroy Alexander What a wonderful world sport is Just as news that the once mighty Liverpool FC had parted company with their iconic talisman Kenny Dalglish, his often beleaguered predecessor in the job, Roy Hodgson, was announcing his first England line up. How life can play tricks on one. King Kenny dethroned in a wickedly [...]...Win an iPad 3 by watching the Champions League final

It’s Time To Move Forward, As One
20 May 2012, 1:41 pm
I can’t stand the noise. Please, make it stop. In the old days we wanted Liverpool FC to do its business in private and only release it to the world when it was complete. Now, in life in general, no news is bad news. Indeed, no news is terrible news. No news is an excuse [...]...Statement Regarding FSG
18 May 2012, 5:03 pm
An angry email has been sent to almost every LFC supporter group and website, plus the club itself, asking why I (amongst certain others) appear to be advising FSG. (I don’t know who the sender is.) “Paul Tomkins is an internet blogger/author who writes detailed summaries and analysis based on statistics. He has no experience [...]...Big Plans Needed to Replace King Kenny
17 May 2012, 1:23 pm
Liverpool Football Club sacking Kenny Dalglish is “wrong” in almost every conceivable sense. But the only way it can ever be right is if time proves it to be. It will still feel wrong – the way we feel now – but if it leads to undeniable success on the pitch, then even Kenny himself [...]...King Kenny: To Keep or Not to Keep?
16 May 2012, 1:22 pm
King Kenny: to keep or not to keep? – that is the question (I keep getting asked). The joys of another summer of chaos. A fanbase on the edge of meltdown, thriving uncertainty and, in the vacuum of communication, rumours coming thicker and faster than Djibril Cissé. A lot of people I respect, including members [...]...PR, Communications And LFC
16 May 2012, 11:00 am
by Simon Steers. In an era where football is about so much more than the game itself, and in an industry dominated by finance, the transition from football club to business and brand is a stepping stone to being competitive on the pitch, the relationship between a football club and the media has never been [...]...

Checking Out for the Weekend
19 May 2012, 4:58 am
There’s going to be plenty of time to talk about the changes Liverpool have coming, and they might yet interrupt the next couple of days. Announcements aren’t necessarily commonplace on the weekend, though, so it’s probably time to pay attention to other stuff for a bit, especially considering the fact that if you’re looking to [...]...Moving Forward, Like It or Not
18 May 2012, 5:40 am
New things are typically exciting. So that’s something to look forward to. We wanted different, and now the summer promises to be full of them. There’s uncertainty, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a future full of doom and gloom. If this seems like forced optimism, that’s because it is. We might have asked for change, [...]...Hodgson Announces Euro Squad, and Other Thursday Notes
17 May 2012, 4:31 pm
This’ll mostly be an exercise in going through the motions—as I mentioned earlier, I had a news and notes post half-completed when the news of Kenny Dalglish’s dismissal broke, so this is most of that post with a few comments added on the current situation. We’ll probably start the conversation soon enough about what happens [...]...Parting Ways with Kenny Dalglish

16 May 2012, 3:36 pm
There is nobody alive today who has done more to make Liverpool Football Club what it is, who plays a bigger role in its history and identity, and who we would have more wanted to see succeed as its manager. There is nobody who deserves more for what he’s given to the club both on [...]...

How can winning ever mean as much again? - by Chris Smith
17 May 2012, 10:34 am
As the Liverpool team triumphantly walked up the Wembley steps to collect winners medals for the first time since 1995, the biggest cheer from those who made the journey to Anfield South, and those, like us, who crammed into the bars in Liverpool, was reserved for the last man in line. As he lifted the trophy [...]...That’s what we paid £35m for! - by Pete Schulz
10 May 2012, 5:50 pm
Was that performance by Andy Carroll on Tuesday the best individual performance we’ve seen this season? I reckon so, with perhaps Steven Gerrard against Everton and Luis Suarez at Norwich running it close. But they both scored hattricks whereas Carroll didn’t get a goal against Chelsea at Anfield. He didn’t need to. Everything about his play [...]...Weekend Round Up (August 20-22 2011)

16 August 2011, 11:09 am
Football was back, but not exactly with a bang. As far as opening weekends go, it was a bit shit. Perhaps my view on that is tainted because we didn’t win, but even leaving aside our own disappointment I thought it was a fairly dull, and sadly predictable weekend. The mancs came [...]...Fulham 2 Liverpool 5 - Match Reaction
10 May 2011, 1:39 pm

THE question, whether or not Kenny Dalglish would be the coach next season has finally been answered. Kenny Dalglish has been sacked as a manager of Liverpool FC. The news comes after days of speculation in which a trip to Boston for a meeting with the Liverpool owners was reported to have not gone well. [...]...Player Season Review – Andy Carroll

19 May 2012, 4:30 pm
IT was a sad day for Liverpool FC on Wednesday when the club announced that they had parted company with manager Kenny Dalglish. Though most Reds fans I’ve spoken to backed Dalglish and believe he deserved more time, the fans that were against him were very vocal in their views that Dalglish was not the [...]...Ta-ra Kenny!
19 May 2012, 3:00 pm
UNLIKE some of my colleagues and fellow Liverpool fans, I disagree that sacking Kenny Dalglish was a hasty move or one hard to take in. While the man’s contribution and dedication to one club for a major portion of his life is very laudable indeed, some of the decisions he’s made based on the importance [...]...Worrying Signs as FSG Lack Courage in Their Own Conviction

FLUMMOXED, Stunned, Gutted!

None would have been quite so clean and publishable so instead, I opted for adjectives which, fairly accurately, summed up my feelings upon [...]...
