http://ppt.cc/q00t Liverpool FC have sacked Academy director Frank McParland and Academy technical director Rodolfo Borrell. The ECHO understands the duo were both informed of the club's decision to relieve them of their duties yesterday. The departure of two such highly-respected and established figures from Liverpool's Kirkby base represents a major shock. Both McParland and Borrell had earned praise for helping to kick-start the conveyor belt of talent from Kirkby to Melwood in recent years. No fewer than seven Academy youngsters made their first team debuts last season with Jordon Ibe following in the footsteps of Suso, Andre Wisdom, Adam Morgan, Samed Yesil, Jerome Sinclair and Conor Coady. The likes of Martin Kelly, Raheem Sterling, Jon Flanagan and Jack Robinson have also progressed to the senior set-up under their guidance. McParland, who had previously served Liverpool as chief scout, was appointed Academy director by Rafa Benitez in the summer of 2009. Two years later he was given the added responsibility of overseeing the running of the reserve team. Borrell also arrived at Kirkby in 2009 as he began working with the under-18s and then the under-21s before taking up the role of technical director a year ago. The popular Spaniard boasted an impressive CV having spent 13 years with La Liga giants Barcelona where he helped develop the likes of Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Cesc Fabregas. Liverpool FC today declined to comment on the sackings and it's not yet clear whether replacements have already been lined up. 这二位都是拉法时代进来的人 不知道球队为什麽在这个时候把他们撤换掉 McParland 之前曾担任利物浦的首席球探，在2009年夏天被拉法任命为青训总监 Borrell 2009年来带U18跟U21，一年後被拉上技术总监 --
