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

I actually thought souness has got a overally bad press. He was not a success but he took over a shambles from dalglsh. Am I bitter ?

Too right I am. I saw the greatest club in British football change to a mid ranking club a legacy that exists to this day. To say it was sourness because of the results of that era is to totally ignore what went before and the underlying cause.

Although sourness made a lot of mistakes not least the article in the sun what many Liverpool fans don't appreciate is the work sourness did on modernising Liverpool training methods diet etc something dalglsh forgot about assuming liverpol was in a time warp and did not need to change.

The methods sourness started were followed up with Roy evans and then houllier and were part of the reason for the European success under houllier.

Dalglish still continued his wrecking in his second period of office and now coming back again to inflict goodness knows what for a third time.

I will continue to tell the story of dalglsh it's a story that must be told especially younger fans who just see the legend banner.

I agree and we should remember him as a player and he should stick to formby golf club.

We should not pay him any more money.

man is a legend in the game, and it is great to have him at the club. He still commands huge respect, a phone call from kenny to potential transfers can tip the balance.


fantastic player, fantastic manager , club legend.

Yeah great manager

All of football is queuing up to employ him as Manager. Form an orderly queue now chairmen no scuffling now, there that's good chaps.

What would be beyond my wildest dreams is united sack Moyes and employ dalglish as manager with unlimited access to their transfer reserves.

It would not get better than that for me.

What's the difference between an 'executive' director and a 'non-executive' director? Do we know what his actual role will be?

I hope his role will be limited to shaking hands with people in the hospitality suite anything else gives me nightmares

I can't see him doing anything other than what charlton does for Utd, ie the occasional ambassadorial type appearance.
As a 'director' you need to be able to offer the club either a boat full of cash, or some kind of business skillset that can be utilised.

It’s amazing how you can attribute so much goodness to Souness and so much demonizing badness to Dalglish though Stanley. Souness took over a three times league winning team from Dalglish and set about dismantling it, with the disastrous results we still live with, but you describe it as “shambles” perpetrated by Dalglish! That’s just rubbish Stanley.
You’ve also refused to give credit to Dalglish for his three titles as manager/player manager, saying that his success was inherited from his predecessor! really Stanley? Maybe, just maybe a bad manager could scramble one title in such circumstances, but certainly not three.
If Dalglish is as bad a manager as you would have him, he'd have struggled to win one title regardless of the quality of his team, let alone three titles, and then he would’nt have won it again for a fourth time with another club. I know you’ll also credit that win to someone else also, but again is there any credibility in that?
How many managers managing in the league today can equal Dalglish’s record Stanley? The reality is, your demonizing of Dalglish and his managerial record, lacks credibility.

Well said that Man.

LOL like that one i must admit ive got to agree with you on this our demise started when he walked away all those years ago although ive got to cut him some slack as the hillsborough tradgedy must of took some sort of toll on him mentally but he did come back to football pretty quick as for his second stint as manager the least said the better the signings he made must of been the worst in our history apart from GH signings of diao, diouf,cheyrou etc i do respect him as a footballer thou he was the greatest player ive seen in an lfc shirt.
