- History_of_Liverpool_F.C._(1985–present) abstract "The history of Liverpool Football Club from 1985 to the 2012–13 Liverpool F.C. season covers the period from the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as manager, the Hillsborough disaster, the club's return to European competition in 1991, and the club's performance in the Premier League.Dalglish was appointed as manager after Joe Fagan resigned following the Heysel Stadium disaster, which resulted in Liverpool being banned from European competition for an indefinite period. Dalglish had the dual role of player and manager and in his first season the club won the league championship and FA Cup. This marked the first time the club had won the competitions in the same season, thus completing their first double. They failed to retain the title the following season finishing second to neighbours Everton F.C. Dalglish reshaped the team, signing John Aldridge, John Barnes and Peter Beardsley to replace outgoing players such as Ian Rush and Sammy Lee. The club regained the league championship, but lost the final of the FA Cup to Wimbledon F.C., to prevent a repeat of the double. The following season saw the club involved in one of the worst disasters to occur at an English football stadium. 96 of the club's supports lost their lives on 15 April 1989, as a consequence of being crushed against perimeter fencing due to overcrowding at the Leppings Lane End of Hillsborough stadium, during an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest. Liverpool subsequently won the FA Cup, defeating Everton in the final. They again missed out on the double, as they were beaten to the league championship by Arsenal by goals scored, after the two teams finished the season tied on 76 points. Liverpool regained the league championship in the 1989–90 season to win their 18th title. Dalglish resigned the following season, as Liverpool finished second to Arsenal.Former player Graeme Souness was appointed as manager and he won the FA Cup in his first full season in charge. Liverpool beat Sunderland 2–0 in the final. Despite this, the club finished in sixth position, the first time they had finished outside the top two since 1981. Liverpool fared no better in the 1992–93 season, again finishing sixth. A poor start to the 1993–94 season resulted in Souness being replaced by Roy Evans midway through the season. Liverpool improved to fourth the following season and won the Football League Cup. The team improved under Evans' stewardship finishing fourth, third and fourth in the following season under his reign. They also reached the final of the FA Cup in 1996, but lost to Manchester United. After finishing third during the 1997–98 season, Gérard Houllier was appointed co-manager alongside Evans. The arrangement lasted until November when Evans resigned. The team improved under Houllier and after finishing fourth during the 1999–2000 season, they won a unique treble of trophies the following season. They finished second to Arsenal during the 2001–02 season, their highest league finish since 1991. The following seasons were disappointing as Liverpool were unable to improve on the previous season's exploits finishing fifth and fourth respectively. As a result Houllier was sacked at the end of the 2003–04 season.Houllier's replacement was Rafael Benítez. Despite finishing fifth in the league, Liverpool won the UEFA Champions League for the fifth time. They defeated Italian club Milan in the final courtesy of a penalty shoot-out after being three goals behind at half-time. Liverpool improved to third in the league the following season, and they also won the FA Cup. West Ham United were defeated in the final after another penalty shoot-out. Midway through the following season, Liverpool were bought by Americans Tom Hicks and George Gillett. The club again reached the final of the UEFA Champions League against Milan, but this time they were defeated by 2–1. The 2008–09 season saw Liverpool finish second in the league to Manchester United. Despite this, the following season was a disappointment, as the club finished in seventh place. Benítez left at the end of the season and was replaced by Roy Hodgson. At the start of the 2010–11 season, Liverpool were on the verge of bankruptcy. The club were sold to New England Sports Ventures following a high court ruling after the club's creditors requested the club be sold. Hodgson was replaced by former manager Dalglish midway through the season. He won the Football League Cup in his second spell, but was replaced by Brendan Rodgers after finishing eighth in the 2011–12 season.".
