With the club reported to be speaking with Wigan boss Roberto Martinez, and Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers turning down a potential interview, Liverpool are supposedly going to consider a number of top candidates.

But fans were surprised to see the message 'Who do you want to replace Kenny Dalglish as #LFC manager?' on Friday.
Later in the day, the message was taken down and replaced with 'Context of our last tweet seems to have been misunderstood - we were simply looking for fan views to include on a fun online feature'.
Are you sure? Liverpool seemed to suggest their request for views on a new manager was for a 'fun' feature
Some Liverpool supporters were far from impressed however. One fan tweeted: 'Not the most impressive week in @lfc history leadership seems very amateurish', while another said 'Crazy how much @LFC has fallen out of touch with the fans.

Another said: 'A good choice would be Ronald McDonald, with all the comedy at your club'.
