Maybe not. But Hodgson had us 12th, and no cups. Dalglish won a cup got to another final and got 8th. Of course Dalglish had more money to spend, so it's not clear either way.
Interesting to see the expectations of England this year. It seems to have been very low, and now lots more are behind them and thinking getting out of the groups is a job well done. Can't say I've ever seen such low expectations with England before. Might do them some good.
As well as considerably more money Dalglish also had goodwill (sadly lacking with Roy from day one) stable board, and time he had three times as long as Hodgson.

He earned 3 times as long because he didn't butcher the job the moment he stepped in the door. Isn't it funny how people get job extensions when they excel in the first six months, compared with those who get the boot for under-performing over the same period. Can we grow up a bit? Benitez underperformed in his 6th season and got sacked at season's end. Hodgson underperformed in his 6 months and got sacked to save the club. It took a year before Dalglish started to under-perform, and he got sacked at season's end. Had Hodgson been less of a disaster he would have seen the season out, but would still have been sacked.

he was too pratical and normal for liverpool. he came into a mess, had nothing to spend and a crappy squad that had its 2 best players injured,the other one wanting a move and one on strike. We were all looking for a saviour cause of the mess we were in but Roy is too normal and old in the tooth for saviour idea's . was just a bad match, if he came in when kenny came in with, and had a massive budget like kenny then he would probably still be here.

never slated hodgson. don't think he is world class but defo a decent manager and probably exactly what england needed after employing super-ego's the last few times.

I agree with Martinez had Hodgson had the resources and backing he would still be here. And as for Dalglish saving the club what nonesense that is. The club was close to administration because Gillet and Hicks could not refinance the RBS loan. How anyone can think Dalglish rectified that I don't know. As for him coming in to rescue us on the field. Laughable we give him £9m over 18 months for his golf course fund to take the club to 6th place. What a personal sacrifice that was can I have some of that please?
What a joke he probably could not believe his luck.

we should stop taking pot shots at former managers, they all tried their best for the club, it also takes away from the current manager who needs support not bickering about Kenny,Rafa or Roy.
