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

I would never have him back as a manager, as his second spell proved, the game has evolved beyond him. But the role he currently has now, I would liken it to the role Bobby Charlton has at Man Utd. Just a face in the crowd to keep the fans happy, and to be interviewed every now and then when we're doing good to say how good lfc are and how much progress we're making. That's it. It theoretically puts a lot of fans on side when they see the "icon that is Dalglish" endorsing the new liverpool (whether you take into Dalglish's second spell at managing or not) I dont think FSG will be allowing him any genuine business administrative powers or anything like that. He gets a wage of LFC, so what. Quite frankly I think he has done way more good for the club on and off the pitch than he has done bad. And I still maintain that any mistakes he made in not replacing players etc, Souness had more than enough time to rectify those things like any manager would, so the responsibility lies fully with Souness as far as I'm concerned.

Hodgson needed to be undermined if that's the case, but I don't think it is. He's done whatever the club asked him to, even when it's treating him like the Pope and rolling him out for PR. He made several mistakes as manager in his second stint, but he was arguably our third most successful manager we've ever had, and one of our greatest players to boot. Having him at the club is a good thing. Just keep him away from the transfer kitty.

Shankly paisley fagan evans and rafa are all well ahead of him in the achievement stakes

Bobby charton has not managed Manchester United twice and made an almighty hash of it. If we have to have an ambassador how about John Barnes or Ian rush ?

Its an insult to the club and the fans
