Topic: Comolli and Bruckner leave by mutual consent

[Jellies]

he couldnt say that we had bad players,before a big S/F

Well, they've just said they're not happy with all of our recent buys by firing the man supposed to be responsible, haven't they?

[Red Genius]

Isn't it that are going to continue with their policy of Prem players if possible?

"We've had a strategy that we have agreed on. There was some disconnect on the implementation of that. That strategy is a strong one and it will continue. We need to build a strong system under the first team. We're hard at work identifying transfer targets and we will be better next year."
 

Says neither to me, suggests that we're going to focus on bringing young players into the team.

Do you envisage any other changes in the senior management of the club?

We do not. It's a good question. We believe the senior management is very strong, Ian Ayre is an outstanding managing director. His charge is to raise revenue so that we can put the resources into strengthening our football club. We've got great confidence in the other people in football operations, and so the answer is there will be no future changes of significance

so dont think so

Hmmm

[Caffeine]

I haven't been this nervous about a semi since I saw brokeback mountain.

[paulrazor]

Ayre to go next?

take your pick

[bleedsred1978]

Just spat coffee all over the place.....

[Get]

one or two back room staff possibly, but none of Kenny's choices for sure!

Unless they are thinking Kenny DOF and mentor to Carragher the Player Manager

If Carra will get any near the managerial job at liverpool it will be souness all over again

[tommy LFC]

Kenny to move upstairs and replace Commolli himself?

[Heighwayondawing]

No replacement ready? Smells like Wolves

Please refrain from equating our club to that shower.

Already been done last week mate

If they say same policy,couldnt it also mean their original one?Spend big on players if necessary/wages matter/sell-on value etc etc ??

[dast18]

I'm reading this stuff with the dramatic background music from a movie. Adds a whole new level to things, and I certainly recommend it.

[Stan.]

this is putting ridiculous pressure on kenny for the semi final.

Bollocks.  We're playing everton in a cup semi at wembley.  Could there be any more pressure?

Perhaps it will remind everyone at the club that no one is indispensable and it might be time to start pulling a few fingers out.

[HiroProtagonist]

I posted pretty much the exact same thing in the Brukener thread before even reading your post.

Great minds think alike! 

It's that damned tea lady's fault.

But yes indeed, I've found my new RAWK posting buddy.

[Dalglish1892]

Tom Werner : I think it's fair to say no supporter would be delighted with the results we've achieved this year

A new manager will be brought in this summer?

Does Damien Comolli's departure have any impact upon Kenny Dalglish's position as manager?

Absolutely not. We've got great confidence in Kenny. We feel the team is going to make strides in the future and he enjoys our full support.

Now kindly piss off you boring WUM

[peachybum]

In terms of transfer activity this summer, will Damien's departure affect plans that are already underway?

We've had a strategy that we have agreed on. There was some disconnect on the implementation of that. That strategy is a strong one and it will continue. We need to build a strong system under the first team. We're hard at work identifying transfer targets and we will be better next year.

Now theres a hotbed of a response if there ever was one, expect this to be discussed at length.

Everyone saying that this interviews mean we're going to have a big summer but i just don't see it. Especially with that statement. Focusing on the need to build under the first team NOT buy a load of first team players.

[El_Pistolero]

Nice of you to shoehorn this tired and used joke into a thread which has nothing todo with the semi anyway.

[Schmidt]

So the site says he left for family reasons but Werner says he wasn't the right man. Werner then says Comolli didn't do a good enough job and the results aren't good enough, but then says we have the talent on the pitch which basically absolves Comolli's role.

This sounds like a bit of an unplanned mess to be honest.

[El_Capitán]

[Get]

Or the stratergy to get them in? Maybe Comoli wanted to wait untill fater the Euro's or vice-versa and Kenny wanted in done and dusted or vice-versa?

could be very possible

Votes of confidence for both Dalglish and Ayre from FSG.

Why would they even conduct a vote of confidence before a crucial game?

[Mutton Geoff]

Excuse me, but if there's enough talent on the pitch to win, it'll be Kenny and not Damien who's to blame for us not winning. I support Kenny, but that doesn't make any sense.

Do you think the players have delivered as expected this season?

 You can select them you cannot kick the ball for them can you!

I don't want to turn this into a transfer thread, but we should go for young players that can go straight into the first team. Someone like Jovetic, or Remy.

[Surprise me.]

Someone from the football side of things is obviously giving them a lot of advice, wonder who it is. Probably a group with Kenny.

I don't know how much Werner puts into the club because out of the two he is the one that he handling the running of it. So I presume he knows quite a bit of what is going on.

I don't think literally sat around a table and had a vote of confidence, read the TW interview.

Just said he was moving back to France for family reasons. Doesn't mean that the left because of family reasons, well thats the way I'm interpreting it.

Exactly! If FSG think we have enough talent its the bloody coaches and players who are responsible if we're getting spanked every week.

I dont think they sit around a table and show hands

It's a metaphor for them being safe in their jobs (for now).

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/werner-on-comolli-kenny-and-semi

So they did give him the sack. Brutal.

But, I like it. Recognised the mistake and delt with it. Not sure why they allowed Comolli to spin that "Family reasons" in his statement. Makes him look a bit of a fool

[Red Genius]

He said 'under the first team' - he's talking about buying teenage lads to bring through IMO, not wunderkinds straight into the starting 11.

It's what I've been hearing, more younger, cheaper players, not the marquee signings. 

Remember the "3 years to get this club stabilised" comment.  Sort out the overpaid, older, underused players, build up from the bottom with younger, cheaper, more motivated players.

[Danyaals Kop]

Hope this is also giving the lads a kick up the arse - that if they don't perform, they can get out of our club.

[Bob Loblaw]

They have no idea what they are doing.

[Licky]

a couple of days before an important game, and we launch this type of cr@p !!!

Do you reckon Tom hicks has got FSG tied up in a room and is armed with a shotgun ?

I hope the younger players if that was the case are better than some of the current first team staff we have then.

Could be? It can be interpreted in many different ways but I can't see Kenny looking abroad for many of his targets or that there has been anything to suggest he would?

[Surprise me.]

That's just his way of putting it. He can say whatever he wants. Werner would have had to address both of them since we are not doing well and  it will mean less questions in a press conference or wherever else. Meh.

[Always_A_Red]

I love the fact that everyone is jumping on werners comments about Kenny being safe as if its golden whilst they on the other hand say that Kenny's comments were 'just face for the media becuase thats what we do as a club'.

This is exactly the same thing guys....nothings changed.

[Get]

Kenny is the man to lead us, no question about that, the owners saw previous second half of the season what he is capable of doing.

Now they aren't happy with the results, and obviously the players, which Kenny said him self he picked them out.. so..

yeah so i have no idea xD

[LadsPen]

Exactly! If FSG think we have enough talent its the bloody coaches and players who are responsible if we're getting spanked every week.

Or they dont want to kick our playing staff too hard in the balls before a semi final?
