Liverpool's Director of Football, Damien Comolli, has been sacked. I guess that means that it was indeed him and not Kenny responsible for transfers. I did think it was weird that new signings or players that had signed new contracts would be photographed shaking his hand and not Kenny's. And given that Dalglish was a caretaker last season and had been in the job a month, well, you don't let your caretaker manager have £35m to spend on one player, do you?

That's not to say "HEY GUYS IT'S NOT KENNY'S FAULT WE'RE tit", mind you. Team selection and player motivation are two honking great parts of his role and they haven't been up to scratch. I just find the dynamics of power at Anfield under FSG very interesting. Apparently they're looking for a new director of football... I wonder if Rafa fancies the job...? As long as he buys Alonsos and Mascheranos instead of Josemis and Pellegrinos, he'll be alright in my book.
