Just what does Big Eck mean?
Do you mean in general or what does "big eck" mean? Eck is short/slang for alex (alec - eck). Big is due to his stature among little men. |

Well, I never knew that!
Seems strange having a shorter term for Alex when Alex is a shorter form of Alexander.

Soon it will just be "A".
That'll get confusing.

And then, of course, there's Sandy. Which is longer than Alex, I'll grant you. But shorter than Alexander. |

Growing up with a dad in the Scots DG's every squaddies name was either Rab, Tam or Sandy.

I reckon the Suarez affair was the final straw, the owners won't have been happy having to step in to clean up the mess especially after they had backed Dalglish in his handling of it and they won't have liked the damage to Liverpool's image.
Difficult to see them attracting a high profile manager. Not sure why Martinez is being linked with it, reckon Lambert or even Adkins would be a better wild card choice. Problem is their fans won't be happy, they still think they're up with the big clubs when in reality they are way behind them.

Dalglish's handling of that saga was atrocious.

Financially they are not far behind though.Awful league finish this year yes but suggesting names like adkins is a bit silly.A few years ago they had one of the best midfields in the world so i can sort of understand them wanting a manager who will field a stronger midfield than shelvey,spearing,downing and henderson

I don't think suggesting Adkins is any sillier than Martinez, which was my point. Liverpool don't have the financial backing that Chelsea and Man City have, the fan base that Man Utd have nor the manager that Arsenal have - they are off the pace without the finances to close the gap quickly. Their fans need a reality check, they ain't competing with the big clubs any more and Dalglish is a blundering old man. |

Martinez has worked his way up from Swansea and kept Wigan up when time and time again on limited resources. Rodgers and Lambert have only had a season each in the top flight and things could go tits up for the next year so i'd wait to see how they do. Too early for a big job for either of them i think.
Job looks perfect for martinez in his and Liverpool's regard. He'll get them playing attractive football and has proven he is loyal and articulate.

Not since Stannah Collymore was in the team. |

The scousers have always thought of Kenny Dalglish as one of their own, even more so now he is unemployed.
