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.
