With the sad departure of Rafa Benitez, it has emerged that Liverpool’s boardroom were only willing to give Rafa a paltry £5 million to spend on new players, the next manager of Liverpool will be given between £15 to £20 million to spend on new players.
As I reported last week, the current board of Broughton, Purslow, Ayre and Nash were unwilling to give that kind of money to Rafa as his transfer dealings at Liverpool have been mixed ,to say the least.
Now, Christian Purslow, ironically the man who replaced Rick Parry at Rafa’s behest, is to lead the search for a new manager
He will be assisted by Kenny Dalglish an Anfield legend who managed Liverpool’s last League title as they look to bring in a high-profile new coach.
Dalglish is unlikely to play a role in the future management of the club, and the Reds are happy for Benitez’s assistant, Sammy Lee, to take the reins until after the World Cup if necessary.
So it seems that the new board mean business and are not willing to put up with failure.
