Soccer – Kenny Dalglish Leaves Liverpool FC

Posted May 16th, 2012 by

With no surprise following the rumors that were abound yesterday amongst Twitter, Kenny Dalglish is no longer the manager of Liverpool FC, bringing an end to his second spell as boss of the Anfield club.

Reports coming from the BBC, Sky Sports, and other outlets have all confirmed that Fenway Sports have fired Dalglish after a thoroughly disappointing first full season back as Liverpool manager.

The club spent millions on sub-standard players last summer, a poor league finish which saw them lower than city-rivals Everton despite the Reds’ having a far bigger budget was enough to Dalglish removed. The club did win their first trophy in seven years after a penalty shoot-out victory over Cardiff City in the League Cup Final back in February which guarantees European soccer next season.

Early reports are suggesting that Roberto Martinez of Wigan has been approached to replace Dalglish.
