Reds boss meets club owner to discuss way forward

Kenny Dalglish is meeting Liverpool owner John W Henry on Tuesday to discuss the managerial situation at the Anfield club. The Scot flew to the USA with assistant Steve Clarke and held talks with FSG officials in Boston on Monday before meeting Henry as rumours began to circulate regarding Dalglish's future. Liverpool have refused to comment on reports Dalglish is on the brink of leaving his role as manager as the Reds assess their way forward following a disappointing Premier League season. They suffered their 14th league defeat of a poor campaign on Sunday, a 1-0 reverse at Swansea. Dalglish delivered Liverpool's first silverware in six years - the Carling Cup - and guided the Reds to the FA Cup final. But the Americans are desperate to challenge for the Premier League title and play in the UEFA Champions League. In the last month the restructuring of the club has led to the departures of director of football Damien Comolli, head of sports science Peter Brukner and, on Friday, director of communications Ian Cotton. Defeat at Swansea meant Liverpool recorded their lowest total of top-flight league victories (14) and lowest points tally (52) since 1953-54. They also scored the fewest league goals (47) for 20 years and an eighth-placed finish was their worst for 18 years.
