    So Dalglish's sacking is going to be aired on the documentary, with the suggestion that he was asked to travel to Boston purely to be filmed for this documentary. This angers me incredibly.

    I think most of us will watch it from behind the sofa, whilst everyone outside the club will be laughing their head off. Now with the recent disaster the transfer window it seems the documentary isn't going to get any easier to watch. And this was supposed to sell LFC.

    Your thoughts?

    I'm not worried. It'll be interesting and a chance to see what goes on behind the scenes.

    Who cares about what other fans think.

    The documentary also ended I believe after the City game, so no deadline day at all.

    On Kenny, it might be a good chance to dispel some myths about the manner of his departure, if it is indeed true.

    Lets wait and see, but if true it will just cement my original view that Kenny was shafted! If true expect another Henry grovelling letter blaming some poor sod!

    I'm more concerned that the owners asked the club legend to travel to Boston so they could sack him for television purposes, rather than do it in private.

    Various journalists have seen the documentary and confirmed that the Dalglish sacking is going to feature. <ok>

    Well exactly, this pissed me off big time when it happened but some passed it off as being Kenny's decision(ie back me or sack me). If true then they can **** off!

    Not gonna watch it Zingy, i'll just wait for the daily repeats of it posted on this board by the wums.

    They were callous bastards to make him go to Boston to get sacked for the sake of Murdoch's tv cameras.

    Plus no mention of where the money we got for the documentary went.<whistle>

    I doubt they did.

    I'm a huge cynic of basically everything, but FSG aren't stupid people, and didn't make their money on such poor decisions.

    And if it is true, frankly, after embarrassing himself in front of the world already last season, a TV programme won't be too bad for Kenny. At any rate, he's strong enough and old enough to rightly not give a damn about being filmed.

    Seriously doubt it's true though - it'll probably just be a shot of him walking into the building, then out again, that sort of thing. News 24 style, to give it the documentary feel.

    Bit far. Even if it's true, the documentary was probably a secondary reason. I know we're all feeling negative right now but try to think logically.

    The real value of the documentary will hopefully be from shirt sales etc in the USA, not from the show itself.

    If this is true then I find it pretty shocking, I do believe that Kenny made some errors of judgement as manager, but he definitely doesn't deserve something like this.

    Related to this, I heard a few people suggest that the deadline day saga was all a ruse to gain higher tension and greater drama for the doc, except in their versions we signed Messi and Falcao in a double coup at 10.59pm lol. Actually, maybe they are holding our real big name transfers back until the docs out since they would be spoilers!

    Has one of these documentaries ever worked out for those involved?
    Peter Reid, Graham Taylor, even John Sitton at Orient, it always seems detrimental, to me.

    Still, it gives us moments like this, I guess:

    I'm with PMK on this one. I'm not watching this BS! I'm sure I'll hear the gist of it from you guys and the tsunami of WUMs which are attracted to our pages when even the slightest non-controversy raises it's ugly head.
