is to tell the fans what they expect from the incoming manager.
At this moment in time, many fans believe kenny was sacked because of his performance in the league. WRONG. FSG never wanted kenny in the first place. They had to give him the job given the amount of public support for him and the great success he brought at the end of last season. Now that this period of kenny fever has passed (to some degree), they now have chosen to revert back to their original plan. It seems that they want a young manager who will be given the time to build success at Anfield for a period of four to five years. If this is the case, FSG must inform the fans of this plan with an emphasis on long term. This is the only way that FSG will regain credibility with the fans and also the only way that the new manager will be given any sort of leeway from the fans.
Up until now FSG has cleared the clubs debt, rescued the club from the previous disaster that was hicks and gillet and also taken the safe option of employing kenny dalglish as full time manager. This decision is the first step FSG has taken in implementing its original plan placing some doubt into liverpool minds over the owners intentions. The most important thing FSG can do is to build a stable relationship with the liverpool fans and the way they do this is to justify there decision to firstly sack kenny dalglsh and also the decision to appoint the new manager whoever that may be.
By doing this, FSG will earn the respect of the fans and therefore cooperation from the fans. This will give the new manager time to implement his own policies which is a key factor in FSG's policy of 'appoint a young, ambitious manager allowing him time to build his own set of ideals.'

No, they wanted 4th. John Henry said so, had Kenny of atleast come close to 4th he would of still been here.

yes if he had got closer to fourth then he would have kept his job. But the new manager will probably not be told 'you have to achieve champions league football this season or else your sacked.' this is why FSG are looking at all these young inexperienced managers, as they want to implement a project. they didn't want dalglish

Just to clear this up. Kenny WAS sacked for his performance in the league.

It is true our league performance ultimately cost kenny his job. It is also true that kenny was originally a stop gap as fsg stated they wanted young title winner! Kenny earned the full time role with his performance at the end of last season. However the lack of league progress this year cost him. Fsg are now reverting back to their original plan of young successful manager.
Op I agree with what u said, I do wish kenny had more time an I do worry that the owners maybe a bit high in their expectations of what can be achieved in one season at the club(hopefully they will prove me wrong)!
When fsg first came in they did a fans forum in lfctv and spoke to and answered fans questions! I thought that was superb and they should do it again now!
One question I want answered is where are we at with the stadium issue? New or revamp? When? Why do long in deciding?
Ok so that's like 4 questions but u know what I mean

yeh i agree the stadium needs sorting. but i think the stadium is currently a small issue. they've sacked a whole host of people at the heart of the club. this needs rebuilding first ensuring stability over the next few years. once these vacant positions has been filled and the plans of the new manager are in place, FSG will turn attentions to the stadium issue.
