It's normal for bust-ups to occur at a football club - players can become disillusioned and disgruntled waiting on the sidelines for an opportunity, and tempers can flare due to a risky challenge in training. Fall-outs and bust-ups are certainly not a novelty in this sport, but at Liverpool, there have been quite a few bust-ups over the years which have led to a subsequent departure. For such a harmonious club which plays on its' emotional ties and title as a 'family' club, it may come as something of a surprise to learn how many players have actually fallen out with their managers in recent years. Interestingly, there is a common theme in this list, with one man's distant and harsh demeanour seemingly alienating most of his squad during his tenure, which consequently led to some friction. In more cases than not, when a bust-up occurs, either manager or player has to make way, and usually it is the manager who wins out.
