What an utter tosser.

Bill Shankly was the embodiment of Liverpool Football Club and eventually had to be asked to stay away from Melwood for the good of the team and the manager. Matt Busby's presence after he retired is generally seen as part of the reason for the decline of Manchester United in the 70s and early 80s. It hung over every manager they had until Ferguson came along. It doesn't have to be that way For example, Paisley made a significant contribution to Kenny's success the first time around, but its reasonable to ask the question if being a club icon in one role is sufficient qualification to perform another. Kenny Dalglish is Liverpool's greatest player, his late 80s team is probably the most exciting I've seen and his role, post-Hysel and Hillbororough, are a large part of the reason the club still exists but I don't see how any of that qualifies him to be a board member if you believe Liverpool exists to win things. The board's role is to run a business that gives the manager the most amount of money with which he can build a team. You put the best in that role to do it and I cannot see anything in Kenny's career which suggests he is that. He's not a businessman. There is no question that FSG haven't done that yet and it is a genuine cause for concern but Kenny's not the answer. I believe they should create a role and make him the club president. In that way the club is connected to its values in a meaningful way and his position as an icon could be harnessed to the benefit of the club. To avoid him becoming an impediment (like Busby) I think you need a manager with the strength of character of Ferguson. I don't know if Brendan Rogers is that man but he has to be given the chance to prove it. More generally, I think there needs to a recognition of where the club is at the moment. We're in exactly the same place as United was before Ferguson took over. We're trading on past glories. We''re drowning in nostalgia, a sense of our own importance and hero worship. This has to stop.

The only way it will work is if they award the game to the team who are the subject of racial abuse. The muppet quotient will try and abuse it but at the very least it should force clubs/national associations to confront the issue. Whether it will is another matter.

Absolutely.

Give him a break. He's still learning how to use a knife and fork properly.
