Fulham enjoyed a swipe at Liverpool and Sir Kenny Dalglish for Sunday's clash with Chelsea.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo - in the matchday programme for that Chelsea clash, a regular, admittedly tongue-in-cheek section called "The List" mentioned three people who could have been better served had they not left the club.
The trio included Roy Hodgson, who left Fulham for Liverpool in the summer of 2010 after guiding the Whites to the Europa League final.
“He (Hodgson) was given a frosty reception on his subsequent appointment at Liverpool, with fans being unmoved by his success with smaller provincial clubs like Inter Milan," read the article.
“Realising that Roy was not going to win the league immediately and angered by his failure to buy the world's best players, who would obviously jump at the chance to sign for the team that had dominated Europe a mere three decades earlier, fans quickly lost patience.
“Demonstrating the cool-headed pragmatism that has endeared them to the footballing public, the Liverpool faithful demanded Roy's replacement be an exciting young manager befitting the club's stature.
“Setting the time circuits to 1991, the club's executives piled into the waiting DeLorean and floored it to '88, returning with a fresh-faced and energetic Kenny Dalglish, ready to usher in a new era of dominance spearheaded by future club legend Andy Carroll, a shrewd purchase at just £35m.
“Unfortunately, however, Alex Ferguson and Wayne Rooney recovered the time machine, went back to 1991, stole the Sports Almanac and brutally laid out Jan Molby at the 'Enchantment Under the Sea' dance.
“This left the club with no option but to drag present day Kenny out of the pub and into the dugout, skewing the timeline and culminating in an underwhelming eighth-place finish and Kenny's departure (again)."
Dalglish actually guided Liverpool to sixth in that 2010/11 season, with the eighth-place finish coming in 2011/12, when he also won the League Cup and lost the FA Cup final.
He was replaced by Brendan Rodgers in the summer of 2012.
