Kenny is keeping his position but Ayre will have his role changed. Academy being assessed now.
 
Does Damien Comolli's departure have any impact upon Kenny Dalglish's position as manager?
Absolutely not. We've got great confidence in Kenny. We feel the team is going to make strides in the future and he enjoys our full support.
The dreaded vote of confidence? 🙁

Could Ayre be back in his previous role - which he seemed pretty suited for?

Back in Mar 2012:

Liverpool are preparing another executive reshuffle this summer following the swift departure of commercial director Graham Bartlett. Bartlett, who was recruited by the club's owners Fenway Sports Group following the promotion of Ian Ayre as Managing Director, is leaving after less than a year on Merseyside.

That's the way it looks.

i'm confused ....again .....werner is basically saying that Comolli was sacked because results weren't good enough and they don't feel he can implement their future strategy . And he also says they "feel there is enough talent on the pitch to win". Well considering Kenny has stated he chose all the players and considering he also looks after that 'talent ' and all the on-field matters , why isn't he the one they are replacing? .

Don't get me wrong i am not saying Kenny should be sacked , I just don't get how they figure comolli is to blame for all this . It doesn't sound like he was hindering Kenny so what exactly has he done wrong . If both were to go then i would understand , but just comolli doesn't make sense considering they are basing this on results , will he leaving make a huge difference ?

David Dein at Ewood on Tuesday
 
You could say that Kenny is flexing his muscles, getting rid of those who are either not doing the job that was asked of them or not to the standard expected of LFC. I can see Kenny being here next season.
 
I would love to get Dein to the club, but he turned us down the last time we were after him

Guillem Balague came out with this statement about Liverpool’s medical department:

“There is a doctor working at the club who has been allowed to make sports science a priority. Nothing wrong with that, you might think, a characteristic of many clubs in the modern age; however, this particular doctor has a level of influence over team selection unseen anywhere else.”

There have been a couple of quotes recently from Roy Hodgson that suggest there is tension between the Sports Science team and the manager over when players are available for selection. The latest comes from when Roy talked about Daniel Agger’s return today:

“Agger is much better and working very, very hard. He’s really pushing himself beyond what we could expect him to do. His attitude to getting back is first class. We’re targeting the Fulham game. The Sports Science people are telling me it’s too soon and that really he needs a bit longer, but in my conversations with him he is in agreement that Fulham isn’t out of the question so he’s pushing it.”

Brukner has overseen a complete transformation of the Medical department at Anfield with a raft of new programmes and a small army of doctors and Sports Scientists. Here is a list of medical personnel currently on the Reds payroll: Dr Peter Brukner, Zaf Iqbal, Darren Burgess, Phil Coles, Rob Price, Andrew Nealon, Matt Konopinski, Chris Morgan, Jordan Milsom, Alan McCall, Ivan Ortega, Paul Small, Sylvan Richardson, Barry Drust, James Morton and James Malone.

Liverpool stutter after doctor forces Roy Hodgson to tear up his plans
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/dec/15/liverpool-utrecht-europa-league

Hodgson's explanation contained a first – an apology for misleading the press – and made absolute sense. But it did little to dispel the suspicion that Liverpool's manager must cede authority to Dr Peter Brukner, the club's head of sports science and sports medicine, even when trying to rebuild momentum for Saturday's reunion with Fulham.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is confident the surprise departure of director of football Damien Comolli will not distract his team ahead of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Everton.
This season the Reds have attracted their fair share of bad headlines for things happening off the field, and the timing of this latest announcement appeared odd just a couple of days ahead of a Wembley derby.
But Dalglish does not believe the latest development will have any bearing on his players' approach.
"The preparation for the game will go ahead as planned," Dalglish said.
"We will just concentrate on the game and go ahead with it, that is what we are here for.
"It is a big game, the semi-final of the cup with probably a bit more added to it because it is a local derby - although it's a bit strange playing a derby at Wembley."
It seems hardly a month can go by without Liverpool creating or being involved in some upheaval.
As well as playing a part in the signing of Carroll, Comolli also contributed to one of the most dramatic days in the history of the Premier League by helping along the deal that took Fernando Torres to Chelsea for £50million late on the same day.
Other signings to have headed to Anfield while Comolli has been in office include the likes of Luis Suarez, Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing and Jose Enrique who, between them, purchased for a total touching £90million.
They have not all been universally popular additions to the Liverpool squad, though, with some fans questioning the merits of paying such high prices for players who have yet to make a consistent impact at Anfield.
"I had a fantastic working and personal relationship with Damien since he came here," said manager Kenny Dalglish.
"It is disappointing but I suppose there is not much in football which comes as a surprise."
"He has been really helpful in every transfer target we've gone for.
"Everyone who has come into the club since Damien has been here was of my choice.
"Once I made the choice who I wanted Damien went away and did a fantastic job of bringing them in.
"It is sad to see anyone leave the football club and he goes with my best wishes and hopefully it is not long before we meet again.
"We wish him well with everything that he does."
Earlier in his career, the 39-year-old Comolli had held a similar post at Tottenham.
He was heralded for securing deals for players such as Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Dimitar Berbatov but, much like his time at Liverpool, not all his dealings were well thought of.
The likes of David Bentley and Adel Taarabt were never able to make their mark at White Hart Lane and former manager Martin Jol was outspoken about his uneasy relationship with Comolli.

How do you mean, most of them attended the Academy. But do you mean like 10 year olds?
I guess it's only Robinson, Coady, Roberts and Flanagan.

Yeah, as in ones that we have produced and not bought in. Which I think is the aim of the academy, or it was anyway.
 
Lads, there's already a thread on the reserves. Let's stay on topic or I'll have to lock this motherfucker and you wouldn't like it if I did that.
 
I think they've sat down with kenny & asked him why results haven't been good enough & what went wrong with the signings.

He's stated the doctors influence on team selection & Comolli giving bad advice on players available & the how they'll fit in.

They've backed Kenny, but at the same time given him enough rope, if he fails next season he's only got himself to blame.
