Kenny Dalglish

I dont really believe this ''has beeen out of the game too long'' stuff. Football is football at the end of the day. Proper fundamental knowledge of the game is what matters and what keys are necessary for success. That knowledge lasts a lifetime.  You dont lose that unless you go senile.  Now, the attitude of Liverpools players might be a different matter. Players are a diffrent breed nowadays. Most of them are greedy children.  If he is to fail it will be them who have let him down.

Depending on how you look at it. What as a Utd fan think he will do? Where do you think he will finish come May?

He more than likely never seen him play in the flesh and i doubt they were showing too many liverpool games on spanish tv in the 80s

Funny Horsey seeing it as win-win! I guess that's the ever-so-positive attitude of Liverpool fans these days.  I mean, they really need to get a grip.  I actually think they're getting worse than Newcastle fans.  This week has been a disaster.

Horsey thinks it's win-win.  I genuinely see it as a lose-lose situation.

I mean this: Liverpool are better off doing poorly under Kenny!

Here's the scenario.  If Liverpool's results pick up now because the dressing-room's attitude changes and say they win 10 out of their last 18 games and pick up around 36points or something and ride their way in to about 8th in the league.  A good thing?  Hell no!

What will happen then?  We all know what will happen.  The Liverpool fans will laud King Kenny, they'll insist he gets a contract, the owner will give him a four-year deal and Liverpool will be riding in to their next generation with a manager who is so out of touch it's actually embarrassing that Liverpool fans want him in charge.  Where are the club gonna go from there?  

It needs to be proved without too much of a detremental affect on the club that Kenny is clearly not the answer and they need to ride it out until the summer before appointing a man who can bring this club forward.  

The last thing Liverpool want right now is rapid immediate improvement.  If they get that, and Kenny gets a big deal out of this, the future of the club looks much more bleak than it ever has!

Dalglish has never managed a millionaire in his life.  The Premiership player is not akin to a Premier League player in 1995!  The league couldn't be more different.  This guy is not cut out for what should be one of the biggest jobs in World Football!  Liverpool need a rebirth - they ned a man to come in and gut the football club, change their fortunes, bring them to a new era....and what's gonna happen?  They're turning to a guy who's best era was over 22 years ago.  

I can't get my head around it!  

Pool fans should pray that results don't emphatically improve in the short term, if they do, then long-term, this club is f**ked!

Carragher and Gerrard will love him obviously but the foreign players in the team don't give a sh*t about some guy that some of them weren't born the last time he was a manager.   I had this argument with a Liverpool supporting mate the other day, he was saying Torres said he idolised Dalglish growing up. When I pointed out that Torres was only 6 when Kenny left Liverpool and that Dalglish himself didn't play that much when he was player/manager. Also, throw in the fact that Sky Sports weren't around then and it would have been hard to see how a young Spanish lad had access to the old first division games, it just doesn't hold up to truth. Liverpool fans have started to live in a dream world really.   Liverpool fans and Carragher/Gerrard will obviously worship Dalglish but some of the crap you hear from them about him is ridiculous.   Put it this way, Jack Charlton is a legend in Ireland, but would you let him anywhere near our team now?!   have they got many 13 year olds in their squad?

Wish him well. As for being out of touch, I don't know lads. It's not as if his head has been buried in the sand for all these years. He attends a huge amount of matches and knows his stuff. How you behave in a dressing room isn't going to change too much either. It will boil down to whether he still has it or not, and if he gets the job full time whether he will get the shillings to put his mark on the squad, something which Hodgson couldn't do. Like a lot of things time will tell.

Would like to know peoples opinion on this man coming back to manage liverpool. My thought is that he's had his time & it would be like arsenal bringing back george graham. Asked a liverpool fan today why he wanted kenny back in charge for the foreseeable future & his answer was that he was there for hillsborough in '89...???
