Topic: Comolli and Bruckner leave by mutual consent

[Skidder.]

Kelly, Flanagan, Robinson, Shelvey, Sterling and Coady all came to the academy during Rafa's tenure.

Was that through Rafa's tenure as manager? Or as Heighway's/Kenny Dalglish's tenure at the Youth Academy? 

[please, I have my reasons for it but...]

Roy bought him in didn't he? otherwise yeah spot on.

Nah he was bought in May 2010 during Rafa's tenure.

[J-Mc-]

Was that through Rafa's tenure as manager? Or as Heighway's/Kenny Dalglish's tenure at the Youth Academy? 

Considering Rafa brought Kenny back in, then it's under Rafa's.

No shut up with this Carragher/Rafa/Academy stuff before this gets locked eh?

[TepidT2O]

Sitting comfortably today?

Juan, was this what You and Roy were alluding to earlier in the week?

[Priest078]

Roy bought him in didn't he? otherwise yeah spot on.

He was Rafas last buy I think

[Alan_X]

I'll be honest, I don't care about DC or Bruckner leaving - we can replace them without disrupting onfield development. I am just worried that Kenny will be moved upstairs or leave. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. KENNY IS THE RIGHT MAN.

WHY NOT READ THE INTERVIEW THEN....

[Brentieke]

Natalie Wignall has not left the Club.

And the goalkeeping coach Paul?

[LondonRedMan]

What next? I honestly don't know. When I think about about what has gone on at our club over the last 3 years I'm at a loss to fathom out what is next, what more is there in the wings to rock us, to shake us and to leave us puzzled and confused.

What have we become? Are we a spurs and Man Utd of the 80's, an ongoing saga of upheaval, comedy and shooting ourselves in the foot decisions.

What does the future hold? Are we destined to chase our tales like a frustrated dog, are we to rise from the ashes like the re-born phoenix or are we destined to fade, fade and fall into obscurity.

What?


I was gonna start this as a thread but I just don't know If I could read more debate upon debate, I just don't know anymore about anything....I just don't know. Even a silly arse like me is finding it hard to raise a smile when having to witness another Liverpool upheaval plastered across the news and all this two days before an FA cup semi-final against our closest and longest rivals.

Possibly timed to get a reaction from the players.

[Juan Loco]

Juan, was this what You and Roy were alluding to earlier in the week?

I don't know about Roy but anything I get is about ten steps removed from what's happening haha. That was more people not trusting that Roy wouldn't say shit just to stir, but the lad actually might have heard things.

[Devastatin' Dave]

Considering Rafa brought Kenny back in, then it's under Rafa's.

Considering Parry brought in Rafa, I'd say it was under his tenure. 

[gregorio]

Was that through Rafa's tenure as manager? Or as Heighway's/Kenny Dalglish's tenure at the Youth Academy?

You can't have it both ways mate, you asked the question and got a sensible, informed answer, accept it

[LondonRedMan]

WHY NOT READ THE INTERVIEW THEN....

I've read it. It does not offer any guarantees for Kenny. I'm worried.

[careful on these streets, I've heard stories]

The signings may have been his, but the deals were done by Comolli. Could be that he overspent on one or two. I'm sure we could all come up with possible explanations, but it isn't helpful, is it?

The picks have been just as bad as the money spent


IMO, FSG's intended structure is one where there are two heads one for the football side and one for the commercial side. Comolli was supposed to be at the head of the footballing side but that hasn't worked out. I have a feeling we will get David Dein in for this role, he was apparently at both our games which is hardly a coincidence, further more I believe he would know Comolli from his time at Arsenal and may not have been looking forward to working with him.

There are some rumours that Ayre's role will be reviewed with Werner saying he is a great MD and said his role was to generate revenue for the club which leads me to believe he will only be focused on the commercial side of the club and nothing at all to do with the footballing side.

[Caligula?]

Mate, you make it sound as if it's been Kenny that has been sacked and not Comolli. 

Obviously, the owners ae not pleased with what Comolli has achieved in his time here in regards to transfers and have decided to let him go. Seems just after the money we've thrown away too. His sacking would always have made news, no matter when it would have occurred. Perhaps it is a bit strange that it comes 2 days before a massive FA Cup semi-final, but it really shouldn't have any effect on the players or what happens on the field.

[PaulR]

Sitting comfortably today?

Not much sitting around to be honest! Was out filming all morning

[El_Pistolero]

Was that through Rafa's tenure as manager? Or as Heighway's/Kenny Dalglish's tenure at the Youth Academy?

This isn't the thread for it, take it to the youth/reserve thread and our resident youth/reserve saddos will mostly happily engage in debate with you.

[kLFCreds]

I'll be honest, I don't care about DC or Bruckner leaving - we can replace them without disrupting onfield development. I am just worried that Kenny will be moved upstairs or leave. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. KENNY IS THE RIGHT MAN.

To play devils advocate, what if Kenny wants to move upstairs? He's done an incredible job steadying the ship. Perhaps that's all he wanted to do? & since he did just a great job last season there was no way FSG could have NOT given him the job. I don't know, just something to think about..

[TepidT2O]

I don't know about Roy but anything I get is about ten steps removed from what's happening haha. That was more people not trusting that Roy wouldn't say shit just to stir, but the lad actually might have heard things.

Never thought he was stirring to be honest, just unwise to say he knew something when he was unable to spill the beans....

[Alan_X]

I've read it. It does not offer any guarantees for Kenny. I'm worried.

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.

[FlashingBlade]

Before you continue the 'yoof' coming through the ranks discusion...When I think of players coming through I expect them to be of a quality...the bench mark at LFC is fucking high...we are talking, Fowler, Owen, Gerrard etc here...now one has come through to at that level for over a decade..we've had promising players, but that is all...its a side issue...the real one since Moores gave Houllier the cheque book is pissing millions away on too many average players in succesive squads.

Plus LFC has always been a buying club. Accept it.

[fowlermagic]

why are people saying its a knee jerk reaction when the new buys have been poor all season

any other business and people whould have been shown the door a long time ago

Cant expect success over night so if Kenny gets another season then why not DC? Unless there was a massive difference of opinion both deserve another bash at it esp when they are trying to implement the purchasing policy of the yanks. Someone thought DC was up for the job we all seem pretty keen on him 6 or 7 months ago and again success in football was never built on one or two transfer windows. The signings as a whole seem alright with Suarez, Enrique, Bellamy, Henderson looking alright to good. Maybe only Carroll has fallen flat but what do you expect when some gash decided to but a porspect at twice the rate he was probably worth. Anyway interesting times

[scatman]

Yeh I'm willing to take that debate to over there. is it 5 people who have left now?

[T.Mills]

Is David Dein RAWK's new Arda Turan, Juan Mata or Tainio?? His name always seems to pop up when there's a change at the top.

[TomDcs]

Could someone tell me who this Natalie character is please?

[Wingman]

That was more people not trusting that Roy wouldn't say shit just to stir, but the lad actually might have heard things.

.. voices in his head

[[new username under construction]]

Can someone quickly shout who's left after Commoli? I have been away so i'm lost

if you want people to be given another chance thats your opinion to think that

if you are payed a lot of money to do a good job its always been my understanding that people will expect good results from you

[Get]

I am just greatful that our new owners act instead of giving a shit.

obviously they don't settle for what haves been going on so far and make changes and are ready to make hard decisions to ensure whats best for the club instead of cashing just in and being satisfied by medicore.

Finally owners with balls and sight on success

[exiledintheUSA]

Could someone tell me who this Natalie character is please?

In-house lawyer at the club, who according to PaulR has NOT been fired.

[zuchum]

He's the Ricardo Quaresma of Finance

if you settle for same old same old like we have done for the last 20 odd years we wont win the league

i like the new approach

What have we become? Are we a spurs and Man Utd of the 80's, an ongoing saga of upheaval, comedy and shooting ourselves in the foot decisions.

What does the future hold? Are we destined to chase our tales like a frustrated dog, are we to rise from the ashes like the re-born phoenix or are we destined to fade, fade and fall into obscurity.

What?

Most journeys have bumps and all that. I am sure that things will settle down sooner rather than later and we will be successful again.

Firstly,thanks for helping to calm my nerves down. I was too worried and emotional whilst skimming through the interview. Thanks and sorry for missing that part.

[TomDcs]

In-house lawyer at the club, who according to PaulR has NOT been fired.

Ok, still not sure what that's all about but thanks ??

[lfcmaster]

i just said i like what they are doing..

Natalie Wignall, she's the clubs solicitor/lawyer who was rumoured to have been sacked after Brukner and Comolli.

According to PaulR who works at the club, she hasn't been

Mate in the few years I've been on this site I have always read your posts as they have been a bit of fresh air. This post makes me feel a bit sad and is an alagory of the way I and many others feel at the moment. We should be buzzing and looking forward to our biggest game in years yet here we are feeling dazed and confused by whats gone on today.

In reflection though this is what we wanted a few years ago and what we cheered when Hodgson went.....let me explain.

This is FSG, decisive and straight. If its not working then look at all angles and make a decision....bang. Commoli, Bruckner et Al gone. This is the sort of leadership we wanted is it not?

The main man is staying, the wheat has been cut from the chaff as far as I am concerned they are doing their job as custodians of this club. Lets not see it as termoil but a statement of their commitment to getting us back to where we belong.

[Coady]

WHY NOT READ THE INTERVIEW THEN....

To be fair Alan, they were giving backing to Roy several times before binning him.

i was agreeing with you mate

dont worry

ahh ok:D
