View on the Dethroning of a King and the possible future manager

For a Liverpool supporter, yesterday was a day of mixed emotions, as King Kenny got dethroned from the Anfield kingdom for a second time. But on the positive side, four of the Liverpool players were named in the England squad for the Euros. Those that were named were Steven Gerrard, Glen Johnson, Stewart Downing and a surprise inclusion Andy Carroll, with Jordan Henderson named as a back-up and Gerrard given the honour of leading his country.

Firstly in my honest opinion I wanted to see Dalglish get sacked, even though I was hoping he would bring us back to the glory days. The results this side has been getting in the league has been very frustrating to watch this season, one game they will be thrashing a team like Chelsea then the next game they are hopeless to a lower team(eg, Swansea no disrespect to them). Also the lack of finishing from this side has been shocking for the amount of chances created. It was obvious for all to see that Kenny has lost his touch in the management, as he was given 100mil to spend in the last summer in which he chose to go out and buy British players, who have been inconsistent this whole season and definitely not worth the money spent. Also his tactics were also questionable at times, especially with the teams he keeps naming, such as naming the youngster Jordan Henderson for almost every and in most of the time he been in a position that he’s definitely not used. This was a big mistake as he had Kuyt and Maxi on the bench and unused, and these two are more known wingers and more experienced than Henderson.

There have already been a lot rumours on who will take the vacant hot seat at Anfield, with the following people being linked:

•  The Wigan boss Roberto Martinez heavily linked, in my opinion not suited for the Liverpool job as he would be similar to Roy Hodgson.
•  The former Reds boss Rafa Benitez, who I personally want to see back as I thought he was a master tactician and new the right players to buy. Most of his buys are still at Liverpool and are the key members of the squad now (Lucas, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Reina), he also brought the likes of Macherano, the legend Xabi Alonso and former Kop idol Fernando Torres. It would be perfect for him to return now.
• The recently sacked Chelsea manger Andres Villas Boas (AVB). Even before he was appointed at Chelsea we rumoured to be interested in him, before Kenny was given the full time role. I was hoping he would be our manager back then, but I wouldn’t mind if he was given the role at Liverpool now.
