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

Ah now, you hardly expect people to look at the bigger picture.

I have never attributed the sole decline of LFC to kenny dalglsh and come to think of it can't remember anyone who did. He was a signifcznt factor though

factor of about 1% , heysel hillsborough about 60% , souness 19%,board 20%.

souness was hired to build a title winning team from a team of title winners,much like dalglish did when he took over from fagan..kenny bought great players, souness bought walters,stewart,dicks etc.

The damage was done when souness took over. Souness tried to bring the club into the modern world he had some success but mostly he was a failure like dalglsh. I don't blame dalglsh for the first time but the second coming was blatant money grabbing he clearly knew he was not up to being a manager and took the role for the money and for his own misplaced pride. What we want him back at the club for a thrd time I don't know.

walters was miles and miles better than jimmy carter , and it was souness who brought in fowler, mc manaman , rob jones jamie redknapp and also set the foundations for the owen's ,gerrard's ,carragher's and murphy's which liverpool had benefited from for many many years , what dalglish left was an aging team plus the hysen's , tanner's carter's of the world , i understand having a go at souness for the mistake with the sun , but souness is just as much an icon of LFC than dalglish and to blame souness for getting the players to train twice a day and to try to move the club into the modern era , stuff that all clubs do now as second nature well ok , but it was dalglish who started the downturn and then second time around sent the club back years .

how so...we are top now..a year and a bit later

his return was a good thing overall..and needed at the time..we were in freefall...

You defend Souey for acquiring an ageing squad,yet this is exactly what Dalglish was working with at the end.

was it good spending money on the carroll's ,downing's and the utter awful adam .

and it was on the slide big time , dalglish had not dealt with it , barnes got injured was never the same aldridge chased , hysen stupidly made captain the freezing out of beardsley , allowing the contracts to run down of houghton and mc mahon , the buying of carter, speedie and tanner not one of them anywhere good enough.

Souey didn't deal with it too good either though,what's the Difference?
