KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FSG asking questions of Dalglish

So, apparently, FSG asked Kenny Dalglish certain questions regarding his team selection and tactical setup. FSG were interested in why Maxi Rodriguez was not getting more game time when he was performing much better than Downing and Kuyt. Several LFC fan sites have touched on this story and the editors on these sites have confirmed that it is true and that FSG did ask Kenny these questions.

What are your views on this, should FSG be interferring in the managers selection and tactical setup? Should FSG have a say in the matter? Should Kenny admit that he has made a mistake by persisting with Downing when Maxi has been getting the much needed goals for us?

Finally, what would your choice be if you were the manager, Maxi or Downing?

THis was mentioned by the commentator in the game on ESPN. Clearly FSG are unsettled and dispite the words last week from Tom Werner it appears are not confident with the management at Liverpool and not just Dalglish. Expect more changes when the season is over.

im not the biggest kenny fan but i dont think the owners should get involved in team selection, i believe its the managers job let him handle it. he sees what hes working with everyday, if the owners can see that maxi plays better than downing and the manager cant see it, they will then realise the manager isnt ready. As for who would i play, i wouldnt play maxi with carroll.makes no sense having the crosser on the bench when the target man is on. surez kuyt/bellamy and maxi as the front runners. downing carrol suarez as the other front runners.

Chris I entirely agree its not the owners place to be picking the team. However the fact that they are making these statements indicates all does not sit well with them.

a owner has the right to ask a manager about his team selection, but he has no right to demand who plays.

They do not have confidence in kenny if this story is true.

I repeat if

Agree completely. I think it's well within their rights to ask the question, as long as it's not done in a condescending way. Kenny's forgotten more about football than they know, but they're the ones paying Maxi's wages. 13 goals in his 20 previous games before yesterday is an incredible record, and most would agree he should get more playing time. It's a mystery as to why he doesn't. It's a fair question, but I don't think it's their place to get involved in any sort of demands for who plays and who doesn't. As long as they keep out of that, there won't be problems. We've all seen what's happened with Abramovich doing that at Chelsea with the likes of Shevchenko and Torres. He buys players than the manager doesn't want and puts pressure on the manager to play them. It doesn't work.

don't think it matters if they a sk KD questions they dont understand his accent

X No of starts for Kuyt & Maxi will force the club to extend their contract with same or higher wage with more Bonus???

Hey, I don't have the original source for it but it was mentioned during the in-game commentary and the editors of another LFC fan site have confirmed the story as true..they seem to be in the know as they knew about the exact date of Charlie Adam's medical at melwood before any of the other sites even knew that we had reached a deal for him, or at least published the story before anyone else. I trust them. According to them Roberto Soldado and Iker Munian were our priority targets for the next transfer window, albeit this was before Commoli got the sack, whether the same still stands, I am unsure. I do hope so though.

Also, i just want to add that one of their sources says there was something a lot more sinister behind Commoli's departure, not family reasons, but they are waiting for confirmation before they release the details of why he got the sack.

You can't argue with Maxi's record, FSG are bound to want answers. The know they know jack about Footy, but being business men the know facts and figures and when they look at Maxi's against henderson's they must think "what the feck".
