Even Dalglish, ruthless.“Someone’s got to get Liverpool Football Club by the throat and take them forward.”'I think we knew it was coming'Will Culshaw, 19, and Louie McGinley, 19, from Blackpool, said they were “shocked” by the news but agree with the decision.Will said: “I think we knew it was coming after the dreadful season they had, but they have had to deal with a lot in terms of injuries and off-the-pitch stuff, so it’s just about who they get afterwards to really see how the next season goes.“I sort of expected it, but I thought it would have happened earlier on in the season."Louie added: “I am quite shocked because of what he did in his first season. It's not been good, but I don't think it's all down to him completely.

I think he's had a lot to deal with.“It might be a good thing. I think he's pretty good.”'We’re both buzzing'Steve Arwin, 23, from Huyton, and Ben Bryming, 23, from Old Swan, said: “We’re really happy to be honest.

I work with quite a few Liverpool fans, and obviously, they weren't happy after this season.”'I think it's clearly the right decision for the club'John Gregory, 59, from Lark Lane, said: “I have mixed emotions really. Maybe the club should have acted sooner and just thank [him] for winning the league for us last year.”What have Liverpool Football Club said?In a joint statement on official club channels, Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, wrote: “That this was a difficult decision for us to make as a club goes without saying."The contribution Arne has made to Liverpool FC in the time that he has been with us has been significant, meaningful and – most importantly of all to supporters and ourselves – successful.“As such, our appreciation for everything he has achieved could not be greater, particularly as it was underpinned by a work ethic, a diligence and a level of expertise which further underlined our view that he is a leader in his field.“From the moment that we first encountered Arne, it was immediately clear that he is an individual who does not merely accept responsibility, he embraces it.
