In a sense, this was good.
It showed that FSG are utterly ruthless.
As large a figure as King Kenny cuts in LFC history, last season's results were unacceptable, considering how much money was spent or even just with the expectations of a club of our ambitions.
It shows that FSG are only interested in results, period. Sentiment and nostalgia take a distant second with this lot.
And this is a club whose history is rife with holding onto players, and maybe managers, past their prime or appointed because of an emotional connection with the club. Rush, Barnes, Evans, Souness.
If you are first, you are first. If you are second, you are nothing -Bill Shankly
