Liverpool turns to Twitter!

LIVERPOOL turned to Twitter yesterday to ask supporters for help in finding a new manager after Swansea's Brendan Rodgers rejected an approach to discuss replacing the fired Kenny Dalglish.

Liverpool tweeted to more than 930,000 followers: "Who do you want to replace Kenny Dalglish as LFC manager? Reply with your suggestions and reasons."

The American-owned club is planning to interview several managers before making an appointment, having already been granted permission by Wigan on Thursday to speak to Roberto Martinez.

The use of crowd-sourcing to sound out fans' opinions came after Rodgers pledged to stick with Swansea, which beat Liverpool on the last day of the Premier League campaign on Sunday. Rodgers steered Swansea's players to an 11th-place finish, just five points behind eighth-place Liverpool.
