KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum dalglish returns as a director

I don't think he has the vision for making strategic decisions either (I even doubt he can contribute in making any good or right strategic decisions as a board member).

The only think he can be used for is as an advert for the brand based on appearances 40 years ago. His strategic knowledge is utterly hopeless. Everything he has touched management wise has been a disaster Frankly how Liverpool FC can entertain him I don't know. I can only conclude its just business commercial advertising.

Barnes and Beardsley weren't bad ones though. Players like Molby came into their own under him too. He did pretty well the first time. The last of our managers to actually win the bloody title. He might have been slightly out of his depth second time around, but I think he demonstrated that he's still a pretty good man manager in his first half season. Unfortunately, he showed that he obviously doesn't understand the talent market anymore.

Red that analysis of dalglsh first reign does not tell the full story he took over a club at the summit of the game the most successful British club ever and left it in free fall. Yes he did win the title in 1990 but it was a club in decline then the signs were there for all too see Wimbledon palace etc. Barnes and Beardsley were good signings but overall he let the team grow old and failed to appreciate how the game was changing. Like his second reign there were outbursts from him and he was suffering from stress we saw the same in his second year. I put this down to him wanting success but simply not having the vision or the ability. He does love the club but then so do I and many fans but they don't put us in charge on that basis.

In fairness Stan I agree, I remember when we bought the 4 players of haughtiness,Aldridge,Barnes,Beardsley and thought we were magnificent. Two seasons later he bought carter, speedie, rosenthal and you have ask what the hell happened. I struggled to forgive him for that until recently. Liverpool were in financial dire straits due to the European ban and falling attendances, we simply didn't not have the money to compete.
The club hierarchy were as much to blame as dalglish, they both contributed to our decline. Only now are we seeing the club claim any of it's commercial potential. 20 years after united started.

Meant to say houghton

Why's he even back? He made some of the worst decisions ever in his signings, As long as he has no say in signings whatsoever idc. Carroll,adam,downing. About 64.000.000 dreadful decisions.

Cp1972 yes I agree the clubs hierarchy was the main factor, Dalglsh was just an employee and if I could see what was happening then they could or should have also. Also we cannot blame dalglsh for the clubs failure to address the stadium or develop the commercial side. Liverpool were one of the last clubs to develop a website.

I can read the hate and bitterness there stanley, and it’s sad to find that in someone who is normally pretty sound in his views, and whose views I normally agree with. However I find it strange that you never noticed Souness and the wreckage he wrought on a league winning team he took over after Kenny. If I wanted to waste my time visiting hate on any servant of LFC he would be my choice, but I don’t live my life looking backwards with hate, it’s soul destroying and not in the least constructive. Really Stanley, isn’t it time you left all that in the past?

Alright Ricki Lake, give it a rest!
