Comolli Sacked

David Dein has an "advisory" role at #LFC, and wont be taking any job himself full time.

Txiki Begiristain has got a bit of pedigree about him

Barcelona director of football from 2003 - 2010 so oversaw some big changes

If we're intent on having a DoF then Txiki would be my choice.

Not that my choice matters to FSG.

[Reece]

So I wonder if he is helping advise who to get in as DOF/CEO?

Stephen Martin @stephen1martin
#lfc given backing to go for targets. Also listening to offers for Kuyt. So, 1 assume kd is staying; 2 must have striker to replace dirk

What happens if we lose tomorrow? Will we still have kenny in charge on Monday'?

I hope so.

I know this season has been **** but there's nothing to gain in sacking Kenny on Monday if we lose at the weekend.

For some reason this whole thing stinks. The whole setup. From Carras to chairmen to DOFs, somehow there seem to be way too many politics involved.

[dww]

One of the pitfalls though is that the position will not be in one man's hands indefinitely. DOFs move on just like managers. I guess it becomes a self-sustaining thing if done right and the club develops a particular culture that all subsequent managerial and DOF appointments must subscribe to and continue. It still worries me that it's an extra and maybe unnecessary layer. And Barcelona is a tough one to follow cos they're in a football culture that already values technical ability above all othere things. I suppoose that makes the scale of FSG's ambition quite impressive actually.

Good points.

I actually think that the DoF role should be such that things that result in high managerial turnover should be explicitly someone elses responsibility. I'd include first team recruitment in that - although I think the DoF should have a role and perhaps oversea the head scout/scouting department.

I was wondering why FSG would sack the Aussie Doctor. Then I remembered he did the medicals for Carroll, Adam, Hendo and DOwning.

I don't get the joke.

I thought the injury record was poor this season, and has helped to scupper us.

Gerrard
Lucas
Johnson
Aurelio (doesn't really count)
Agger
Kelly
Adam

[Fernandinho]

I have been meaning to post a picture about him.

I think the company he comes from is really close to where I work and there is a picture of the clubs emblem on their front doors.

I dunno mate, I think that's harsh slightly.

We have had a rough season with injuries, but no medical team in the world can prevent what happened to Lucas, Adam and Agger.

Aurelio like you say doesn't count. Plus Kelly & Johnson have had hamstring / leg injuries for as long as I can remember.

It would be nice to have an injury-free season for our key players though.

The fitness level are not higher than other teams though, and very problaby lower than under Rafa. Although, more fitness > more exertion > more injuries?
