KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Comolli breaks his silence on his dismissal

According to Tony Barrett's piece in tomorrow's Times, Comolli says that He and Kenny were "judged too quickly on transfers", and that he feels "frustrated and annoyed" that his tenure came to such a quick end.

Was he pushed too early? Few would agree so, I reckon. Many of the transfers speak for themselves 18 months to two years later.

frustrated and annoyed? at least that's one thing we feel the same way as comolli on!!!!

Seemed like it was a good idea at the time, especially looking at his successful signings at Spurs but how long did he expect to get?

This hire and fire within a season model of FSG looks like trial and error to me. I also understood that they wanted to continue with the Director of Football philosophy which we don't have currently. My main worry with all this is that I am not sure who are the decision makers and wonder if FSG understands soccer now.

As regards a piece in today's paper, Comolli and Dalglish were asked if they wanted to go for Gotze. They said Henderson was the priority.

I know its twitter but couldn't find the link to the article but sums up the dealings of 18months ago and makes you just a little sick

He and Dalglish fvcked us more than we'll ever know. That may of been our only real chance to get back up there and I'm glad they were dismissed.

very harsh comments. Alot was acheived under Dalglish and Comoli's comments can only be verified in 18mths time. I think Henderson, Coates and Enrique will be good players and probably justify their fees long term, although Hendo will only ever even at his peak(3+YRS) be a 16mil player.
the problem was and is that huge sums were paid for average/good players.

We seemed to sell well then blow it on Carroll, Adam and Downing which when sold could equate to a 30+mil loss. For A club which is not flush that is scandalous. Every club makes mistakes but at the moment Comoli is looking at best a 50% success rate in the transfer market. not great from a so called expert.

any one involved in 35m bid for a 1st division striker and 18m for henderson deserves thummb screws

Enrique and Coates I'd agree with but Henderson has shown fvck all apart from his 'good engine'. Henderson, Downing, Carroll, Cole all should be moved.

the point is too see ahead and not right now. Comoli states after 3yrs the players bought would come good.

Henderson has shown alot of promise this year as he has had to learn to improve his game and not be so negative. He has changed two games because of his energy when coming on, Wigan and West Ham and won one Udinese. If he continues to progress over the the rest of the season he could become a good asset to the club.

Not ready to write him off yet.

the others I totally agree with you.
