The Art Of Getting By

While I was away in China for my holidays last week – Natalie drop me a SMS – Kenny Daglish has been sacked as Liverpool’s Manager! I was shocked. I mean, after all, King Kenny is a legend at Anfield. You don’t sack a legend.

Admittedly, it was a miserable season for the owners, the players, the manager, the sponsors, the supporters & the fans – the REDs didn’t manage to get into the Top 5 of the English Premier League (only finishing eighth; 37 points behind title winners Manchester City), failed to secure a spot for the next season Champions League, squander at the chance to win the FA Cup and some miserable finish at their home games which cause them the crucial points. They only manage to win the Carling Cup by beating Cardiff on penalties.

It is indeed a sad day for everyone. However, I truly felt that King Kenny should be given another season to re-build back the team. 1 season certainly is an insufficient time frame to do so where King Kenny deserves more time. However, I noted that huge investments have been made on the new players and these new players have failed to perform up to the expectations and they have been making very slow progress.

Now the contenders for the vacant job are – Andre Villas-Boas, Roberto Martinez, Fabio Capello…who will it be? This is a very hot seat indeed.
