The owner of Liverpool: To fire Dalglish wasn't an easy decision

27.07.2012

Liverpool owner John Henry said that for every Liverpool fan could see that the change of Kenny Dalglish as manager was necessary.

The Scot, who has the status of legend in the club managed to interrupt the series of 6 consecutive seasons without a trophy, but the 8 th place of the team in the league actually cost him the job.

"FA Cup would not affect my decision in any way," revealed the American tycoon. "More importantly, that points earned in the second half we took 17th place, and Liverpool should not be in this position. I do not throw all the blame on Kenny Dalglish and his assistant Steve Clarke, but I think it is obvious to any fan that something was wrong and had to take action. "

"I will not placeBrandon under unnecessary pressure by requesting ranking in the Champions League this year. I think last season it was a realistic goal, such opinions were all but finished so far from the target. At this stage it is important stability - this is among our priorities, "said Henry.
