Fair point I guess in my mind I thought the reported sighting of Pellegrini and Dalglish could be linked to process described. Therefore making it believable in my eyes anyway.Quit your jibber jabber!!!
Jermaine, you know the song Billie Jean...is it about the tennis player?? -
In fairness all the BBC have done is cited the source of a very wide spread rumour at the time - and then dismissed it....Really?Comment

Mate, I'm saying if Kenny puts his name up how can he not be a candidate. For all he has done for the club and fans, he deserves more than some bank boy dismissing him.Originally posted by little dave hedgehog View Posterm, yes. considering that he was, apparently, never a candidate when the board was making its decision, and broughton is chairman of the board. i fail to see why this is strange.

What this club needs is firm leadership and clear direction coming from the top. I for one am glad that Broughton is the chairman and would love him to stay on after the club is sold.Originally posted by rnm View PostBrandt - Keita - Van Dijk - SessegnonComment

I know we've moved on from Koptalk....we're so over it
...but here is Dunk's reply re the whole Kenny thing. It's embarrassing.
Kenny Dalglish stays home
02 July 2010
Yesterday KOPTALK ran an exclusive claiming that Kenny Dalglish had left the club. Our report created a storm and I admit that this morning I was worried that I'd been fed false information, but having spoken to a number of Anfield insiders, I am in a position to confirm that Kenny wasn't at work as he should have been today and at the same time provide a fresh update and some clarification to avoid any confusion.
Kenny made the decision not to show up at work today as a result of yesterday's press conference. He left the Academy yesterday in disgust at what the fans were fed. He simply doesn't want to be a part of the regime that is running the club into the ground.
You may have read that Kenny wasn't present at yesterday's press conference because he was out of the country. Yes he was, earlier in the week, but yesterday he watched the press conference live from the Academy because he didn't want to be visibly seen as part of the new regime. He wanted to watch it on television like every other fan and make his mind up about what he heard like any other fan, because that's what he is.
After the press conference he got his coat and went home announcing to Managing Director Christian Purslow that he was taking 3-weeks unscheduled leave. He doesn't want to resign because he doesn't want the publicity that would come from doing so. It would would be huge news. He wants to step back quietly. He doesn't want his exit to be directly related to the appointment of Roy Hodgson. It's the owners and other executive figures that are his concern.
The Liverpool Daily Post today published a report with the headline: 'Roy Hodgson appoints Kenny Dalglish as Liverpool FC head of football development'. This is not true. Kenny has not accepted any new position offered to him. That's not a dig at the newspaper as I assume they're only reporting what they've been fed.
Other quotes published today were made previous to Kenny's decision to stay away. Yes he is supportive of Roy Hodgson, he likes the man and he wants him to succeed, but he doesn't want to be a part of the other stuff that's taking place.
Kenny's feeling used. When the club needs some PR, out comes his name. Today is a fine example of just that.
We told you LAST YEAR that Kenny wanted the Liverpool job but those claims were dismissed. They've since proven to be true. We're now telling you that he's left the club, and as things stand with the present set-up, he doesn't want to be associated with those running the show.
The club want you to believe that Kenny was heavily involved in the appointment of Roy Hodgson as the new manager, yet neither Christian Purslow or Kenny were there to answer questions at yesterday's press conference. Why is that?
Another source at the Liverpool academy has since informed me that Dalglish did not turn in today as expected. He was never going to, maybe Christian Purslow should explain why that was.
Forget me. Forget KOPTALK. If you're a Liverpool fan and you genuinely care about Kenny, instead of dismissing my claims because of the spin you've read in the press today, confront the claims head on and start asking questions, because I know that Kenny is sat at home hurting right now.
If Kenny has not taken 3 weeks unscheduled leave as a result of the nonsense peddled at yesterday's press conference, I invite Liverpool Football Club to sue me. My defence will be rock solid.
Don't fall for their spin or well timed press feeding and don't be surprised if Dave Maddock of The Mirror crops up tonight peddling more bull**** on behalf of Purslow.
Kenny stayed at home today. He was supposed to be at work. If you can sit back and watch them exploit a true legend and would prefer instead to rubbish me, then I question you as a fan.
The invitation is there, if I'm feeding lies as some of you like to claim, make sure someone at Anfield accepts my invitation.
And for the record, you don't need to be a member of KOPTALK to learn any more about this. I'm putting this out their in the public domain for all Liverpool fans to see.

The Times Football Editor, Tony Evans, has spoken to Anfield Road this evening and made it absolutely clear that he was both “disgusted” and “furious” to see his name used by the notorious so-called Liverpool fansite KopTalk in their latest ‘exclusive’.
The KopTalk website is well-known amongst Liverpool supporters for its financial exploitation of the Hillsborough disaster, for selling badly-faked and extortionately-priced signed Liverpool memorabilia and even for ticket touting. It is also notorious for making up stories about the club and its players – often potentially damaging – and in many cases demanding payment before allowing access to the stories.
For these reasons the site was ‘banned’ from the NewsNow network some years ago and is not considered a reliable source by any stretch of the imagination.
With so much speculation surrounding the club of late, relating to both the manager’s position and the ownership situation, KopTalk has been able to feed on the uncertainty in an attempt to increase its hits and in turn the number of people enticed by links to subscription-only stories that never deliver on their promise.
On very rare occasions KopTalk – run from an ex-pat former resident of Scarborough from a flat in Spain – will make contact with an unwitting but genuine source, for example an agent of a player who may or may not be a target of the club. But even if the source tells the truth there’s no guarantee that what KopTalk reports is what KopTalk was told.
On the whole the site’s stories are renowned as being either works of fiction or simply lifted (without credit) from mainstream news sources. That even includes The Sun, the newspaper that has been boycotted by Liverpool supporters for 21 years.
It’s no secret – and certainly no exclusive to KopTalk – that Kenny Dalglish was left extremely disappointed by recent events at the club surrounding the search for and appointment of a new manager, as could be read by anyone who picked up a copy of, or browsed the websites of, quality newspapers including The Times and The Telegraph. KopTalk’s exclusive seems to have been built from a mixture of stories in the press and suggestions seen on Twitter and across various Liverpool FC forums.
The holes in the KopTalk story include the implication that Christian Purslow didn’t attend the Roy Hodgson press conference – in fact Purslow was in attendance but it was decided that he wouldn’t be answering questions. Unhappy as he may be, the insinuation on KopTalk that Kenny has gone AWOL and won’t be back for three weeks is at best an exaggeration, but that would be nothing new to those familiar with KopTalk. Kenny has not left the club.
KopTalk are saying today that the “Independence Day rally in Liverpool was great to see,” just a few days after dismissing it by claiming that, “a BBQ in Liverpool singing songs about Rafa Benitez isn’t going to leave those in the city or those over the pond losing any sleep”. In reality the turnout exceeded expectations today, and the event has drawn renewed attention across the world to the plight the club is in. (For one report on the events, see the ITV website at: http://www.itv.com/granada/).
In addition to his full-time job as Football Editor of The Times, Tony Evans appears from time-to-time on the TalkSport radio station. He does not speak to Kop Talk, and made it extremely clear that he is aware of the reasons why KopTalk, and its owner Duncan Oldham, are so reviled by Liverpool supporters.
For more information on KopTalk from those unaware of its past actions, we suggest spending some time reading the following website: http://koptalkinsider.wordpress.com. It would probably be better to look on that site for the ‘original’ article than going direct to to the KopTalk website and giving it the extra hits it relies on.
This week Liverpool supporters have had much to contend with and with that in mind the actions of one website are more than a little trivial. Fans energies are better focussed on the latest actions of Christian Purslow in what seems to be his priority to assert himself as leader of the Club at all costs, with few if any signs that his actions have been carried out with the best interests of the club in mind. Supporters then heard a the Sports Minister cause deep distress by implying that the Hillsborough disaster was caused by hooligans. The following day a previously unheard-of councillor in Wiltshire jumped onto the Sports Minister’s bandwagon in a more calculated way in what seemed to be the latest in a long line of publicity stunts, seeking attention with the claim that “unruly” supporters were to blame.
Liverpool fans have much to fight for, many wrongs to right, and although mosquitoes like KopTalk and Russell Hawker have to be swatted from time-to-time the true focus will never shift from those who hurt and have hurt the club the most_____________________________________
Weak willed, Wank or do they have a masterplan?
