***** BREAKING NEWS *****
Liverpool have parted company with Manager Rafael Benitez. As the on-going rift between Manager and Owners has been going on for some time now, Tom Hicks and George Gillett have decided to part company with the man who unexpectedly brought the Champions League to Liverpool in 2005. The favourite for the job remains Kenny Dalglish who has yet to comment on the matter, also mentioned has been former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
***** DOUGHERTY UNVEILED AS MANAGER *****
Liverpool FC have confirmed the signing of rookie manager Daniel Dougherty, this news comes as more of a shock to the fans of Liverpool who were expecting Kenny Dalglish to take control of the playing staff, the owners who apparently did have Kenny first in-line have stated that Kenny wanted to "remain" as Chief Scouting Director to ensure Liverpool have the best young players coming through their ranks. Liverpool fans are eagerly awaiting the press conference with Dougherty.
Q. You sit here as new Liverpool manager. Reportedly a long life fan?
A. Absolutely, This is for me, the ultimate job, growing up as a child I would of never thought this would of been possible. I'm thrilled to be here and can't wait to get started.
Q. The Liverpool Manager job is one of the biggest in football. How will you be able to handle the pressure?
A. I'll handle the pressure, Liverpool FC will be winning the Premier League this season, call me arrogant but I will be ending that long 19 year wait.
Q. What is your overall approach to the tactical side of the game?
A. We'll be making sure we dominate from the off, each and every player will have a specified role into where and when to move, and when to make the right pass or the clever final ball. I will be instilling this mentality into the players so we're difficult to beat and entertaining when we go forward. We want to entertain and be good defensively.
Q. Handling your players effectively is a key part of the job. What will you be bringing to the man management side of the game?
A. I will be very disciplined, I want the players to know that I am there, and if they are on a high horse, I'll be bringing them back down to earth to keep their feet on the ground.
Q. How involved do you tend to be in the club?
A. We have a great backroom staff here with the likes of Sammy Lee and Mauricio, I'll be involved as much as I can be to make sure everyone is doing everything correctly, to make sure Liverpool Football Club are doing things the best, and right way.
Q. Are you happy with the current squad or do you know whose staying and whose going?
A. Yes of course, there is going to be a complete overhaul of the squad, I'm not happy with some of the players we have, and to win the Premier League I will be investing heavily into the transfer market.
Q. What will happen in the transfer market?
A. I am planning a few moves already for some top top young talent. We only have a small budget to work with at the moment but the board have promised me any funds from players that leave the club will be available to use.
The press conference at Anfield has been concluded.
