themanupstairs Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Thread about TLW: Just today I read two posts referencing the Liverpool Way; One said the club should follow the Liverpool way and keep things behind closed doors while another said the club should follow the Liverpool way and respect supporter by informing them on what is going on with the club. To me these two points seem at odds with one another. So I am kind of struggling to truly understand what the Liverpool way is. Maybe what I think it is is not truly what it is. So I was hoping to hear from other supporters truly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant1815 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Pretty convinced now that the sacking of Dalglish was not planned. I reckon something went down, and they just had to fire the King. Rumour I heard was that Dalglish wasn't originally going to be sacked, but that he was told that Suarez had to be sold in the summer. Dalglish didn't want to sell him and issued a 'Back me or sack me' ulimatum, the result of which we can see. How much truth there is to that I've no idea.

Cronky Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Pretty convinced now that the sacking of Dalglish was not planned. I reckon something went down, and they just had to fire the King.

Dalglish didn't want to sell him and issued a 'Back me or sack me' ulimatum, the result of which we can see. How much truth there is to that I've no idea. Not untypical of Dalglish to force his employer's hand like that. When he left us, he got into a strange row with our Chief Exec, and then there was some confusion about whether he'd walked or been sacked. I've often felt that he was fed up, wanted a way out, and engineered a route that wouldn't look like a resignation. Incidentally, I've read that Dalglish himself requested the meeting in America - he wasn't summoned. It could be that he'd got wind of a plan to sell Suarez. There has been speculation that, following a controversial season, Suarez wants to leave England. The Americans may simply be accepting a given situation, rather than trying to cash in.

STM Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I love the old "he's going to manager, with suchandsuch as director of football", rarely at football clubs do things like this happen. They will end up with a manager like Martinez and then a "yes" man from america will come in upstairs. They can forget, AVB, Van Gaal, Guardiola, Mourinho or any other mabager at the top of his game. Noone in their right mind would touch that gig at the moment. They couldn't get a manager of this calibre when they won the champions league, never mind now.

Dokko Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 There's no groundwork done with very little potential tied up in big wages and huge transfer fees, the club is in the biggest mess it's been for decades, I can't think of anyone good enough to sort it out and want to do it at the same time. Keegan if A: he'd last more than the first hurdle of change, B: would accept he's not in charge of the whole club, and C: is willing to commit himself for 5 years and put the club ahead of his own needs...would be good appointment for where they are at now, then maybe once he's done the club could look forward to a world class manager.

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 although carr isn't a DoF his influence is as massive at NUFC now and he's a great example of how it can work in the english game imo....he's the man when it comes to identifying what the manager wants but he doesn't seem to dictate anything to the manager as pardew is clearly in charge of 1st team affairs a large part of that will be down ego and the fact carr isn't a massive name and wasn't a massive manager - having 2 people like AVB & van Gaal is just a recipe for disaster, it'll come to a head eventually if that's the route the go down over here the manager still holds all the cards, if the DoF or whatever it's called is a challenge to that in any way it'll fail imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Isn't Van Gaal quite a difficult person to deal with? Would imagine that he would prefer to be more hands on i.e. the manager rather than a DoF and that would cause conflict with the coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 van Gaal is the bloke who acted like a cunt when he managed Alkmaar against us in the UEFA cup, wasn't he? The sight of his face annoyed me for a while before I worked it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 van Gaal is right up his own arse and full of his own self-importance. Giving him an upstairs job will hopefully undermine whichever poor sap they stick in the dugout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You should read the thread they have on the reasons why the new manager should join the club. f***ing la la land. They really, REALLY believe they are the "biggest club in the world" and any - ANY mark you - manager will crawl over broken glass and take a paycut to join them. Well, the Swansea boss blew that out the water, and rumour has it Martinez has told them where to stick it - but still they delude themselves. Dinosaur fans and club Van Gaal will be a disaster in a DoF role, no manager will want to work underneath such a position. Yeah. Farts a lot I hear.

Sho Time Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I would imagine the Liverpool Way (lol, fags) would be to keep things 'behind closed doors'. After all Kenny was the master of doing that, or maybe it was because he was too busy abusing interviewers and journo's at interviews and press conferences to actually answer any questions put to him about what was going on at Lolerpool.
