Vish can I ask did you follow the era under dalglish or are you working from Wikipedia?

The story is not just on the bare the statistics we were the top club in Britain when he took over and probably in the top three in Europe. I would have win titles had I taken over from fagan. And judging not winning the title since he left and concluding that's because dalglsh was not in charge from the stats is frankly rather silly.

Anyone who followed the club back then would tell you the club was crumbling before our eyes still a top club but one getting weaker not stronger. Also throughout his carreer dalglsh has never sustained anything for more than a year or two Blackburn being one example.

There’s no rationality to your arguments here Stanley, Dalglish added some great to good players to the team as time moved on after he took over, he won the title with hem as well as with those he inherited, thats what good managers do, and how a team progresses over time.Had Souness done the same he’d have had a winning side as well but instead he butchered the side wholesale and landed himself and the club in the sh*t, from which we’ve not yet recovered. You concede that the Board was responsible for the overall decline, and I agree with you. However not many will agree that a manager who led the club to its last, not one but last three league titles can be lumped with the blame for our decline given that no decline had occurred prior to his leaving.
No doubt you’ll argue that there was signs and age factors building up, but what title winning team doesn’t have that? Title winners have to have a mix of experience and youth, and it was up to Souness to gradually deal with that as all managers do, but he took a different approach with disastrous results. but you persist in trying to pin it on Dalglish? that just doesn’t make sense Stanley.

Did it ever cross your mind that perhaps KD doesn't want to manage another club? perhaps, he only wanted to manage LFC and no one else.

Nothing endures with Dalglish every management job he has had has fallen to dust. The proof of the pudding is who would employ him now. You are being very selective quoting titles from a fading Liverpool in the late eighties early ninties. I will concede he did well at blackburn but he got very lucky with the form of shearer and sutton which at times was unplayable and voted one of the top ten striking partnerships of all time. As always with King Kenny it fell to dust as it always does. If he is so good why is he unemployable ? answer me that ? clubs would be queing up to employ him if we won titles as you are suggestiong.

Complete and utter nonesense. A man not fit to be mentioned in the same planet as Shankly, Paisley, Fagan and even Rafa, Houllier and yes even Rodgers. Rodgers is fifty fold the manager and personality Dalglish will ever be.

And it sticks in my craw that man is still today sucking money from the club.

Of course he can, Stanley has been arguing with facts for a while now. Every time I debate with him, he simply attempts to twist my words and make it seem like I am saying something I am not. Watch out for that.
