Out-of-work Kenny Dalglish will finish the season as Britain's best-paid manager and the fifth highest-paid in the world, new figures from France Football magazine have revealed.
Liverpool accounts showed they were forced to pay off Dalglish and his staff with £9.5 million at the start of the season after deciding to replace him with Brendan Rodgers.
According to the magazine, £8.52m of that went straight into the pocket of the Scotsman, making him this season's highest-paid British coach without even having to manage a single game.
Dalglish was on a reported salary of around £3.5m while he was at Anfield and a tweet went viral when he left the club that read: "Kenny Dalglish has asked that the £8 million compensation owed to him after his sacking be put towards new Liverpool signings. Amazing gesture."
Angry Liverpool fans then bombarded the Liverpool Echo with phone calls asking why the local paper had not reported Dalglish's gesture.
The Echo were forced to publish a reply saying: "The simple reason is it's not true."
Dalglish won the League Cup for Liverpool last season but was criticised for paying out bloated transfer fees on unconvincing signings with the £35m paid for Newcastle striker Andy Carroll – the highest fee ever paid for a British player – drawing particular criticism.
Dalglish was fifth in the overall managers' high-earners list which was unsurprisingly topped by Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho who earns €14m (£12m) a year.
The highest-paid manager currently working in the Premier League is actually Arsene Wenger (€9.4m) who is sixth on the list overall.
Manchester City's Roberto Mancini is eighth on the list just making slightly more than Sir Alex Ferguson.
On the players' list, huge endorsement deals mean David Beckham just edges out Barcelona's Lionel Messi for top spot.

But he would never accept compensation as he loves Liverpool Football CLub so much? Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool Football Club.
 
The worst thing is, that if you point out that KKK, who loved their club soooooo much, waltzed off with over £8m of their cash as his reward for abject failure. They'd still defend him.

I loved it when that story came out as its so far from the blokes character it's scary.

Before he signed his deal he loved the club so much he dragged it out as he knew he had them by the proverbials and screwed them . It's hard to begrudge anyone making as much as they can but its also difficult to square it with the kopite PR.

I think most do Sheeds. I know his game off the pitch and all that and your not just talking in the game itself, but, I think for most working class lads who never had much the crazy money about makes them hungry for as much as possible.

Wouldn't suprise me one bit if money was at least a big factor in what's going on with our boss.

Absolutely they do .

I've said or before so apologise if its boring or repetitive but I was out with people who work in football a while ago and their comment was "all footballers are *****" . As it happens they were generally ok about most managers (this one aside ) but footballers they were incredibly dismissive of . Money is god to so many , they make millions and don't pay bills , they pretty much don't care about anything . It's sad but true
 

it makes me laugh because of how the RS adore him and think he's god when he blatantly isn't. Still want to retire the no. 7 shirt?
but it makes me fume that a greedy old miserable fool has got exactly what he wanted from producing in my mind one of the worst managerial jobs ever. I know he got to two finals, but he really may have set them up for a terrible near future.

Not that I usually am in the business of defending Kenneth, but it wasn't as if he got time to fully carry out his plans is it? It might have turned out okay?
Right?
Guys?
Hello...........?
