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

Paisely, Fagan, and Shankly all had fat purses. I won't argue that he's better than Bob or Bill. Those are the two greatest we ever had and probably ever will. But Rafa only ever won the two trophies (although that CL final is the most special match I have ever watched) and never the league, and Evans' side, despite being entertaining, were full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Houllier won several trophies, but he made even more blunders than the ones you accuse Kenny of making. Fagan, as you say, was not there long enough to judge. Kenny is the de facto third best of an exceptional group. He continued a reign of success, but when a successful manager steps down, it's not always smooth sailing. Look at Fergie's retirement. Coming off 26 years of the most successful manager the prem has ever had, Moyes took over a club that has been more or less winning the title or something else at least every other year. He was hand chosen, but the transition was still not smooth. Similarly, it took city years of cash injection to assert themselves. Money is a factor, but you can't really buy titles.

I disagree with the Newcastle and Blackburn statements as well. He didn't wreck them Kenny took a team that was newly promoted to a fourth, second and first place finish in the league— in that order. Yes he had money, but money doesn't always translate to success. Blackburn fell apart when he was no longer manager, and they destroyed the house that Kenny built, not the other way around.

Newcastle have never REALLY been the big club they think they are, and they have never really had success with anyone. They haven't won a title since the twenties or a trophy at all since the fifties, even in Shearer's glory days. He didn't set the world alight there, but I'm not really surprised. A failure, yes, but certainly no bigger than Rafa's failure at Inter.

Kenny didn't come back for money. He could have left many times as a player if that's what it was. He's at home with Liverpool, and that's all that motivates him to keep coming back. He loves the club and the supporters, and if you think otherwise, I say you are gravely mistaken.

There were rumoured to be some personal issues between Beardsley and dalglsh certainly dalglsh kept dropping him for some reason and playing him out of position never got my head around that one. That was when kenny started to lose the plot and play 6 defenders and other bonkers stuff.

Can anyone explain why dalglish left Blackburn so suddenly and in so short space of time? Don't you think that's odd ? Then the team fell apart just after he left none of you think that's strange ?

If that's not to your taste, then perhaps this;

Well, I told you, Beardsley talked about that and his discussions with KD about it, despite this he talked very very highly about KD, his best ever manager, his own words. Back to Blackburn, the way I see it, he set himself a target and when that was achieved, he didn't have the same motivation and probably wanted a new role. He had managed one of the best teams of Europe, won titles including a double, then left because he couldn't take the pressure anymore, after a few weeks he felt that he had made a mistake and wanted back, but then, the club had other plans.

I think he took the Blackburn job as a challenge, to prove himself that he could win the league again, he didn't have very long term plans as Blackburn manager. I am sure he wanted to finish his carrer at LFC, it's like a fan, when you have tasted LFC, everything else is sour. Else, why would he stop managing Blackburn who had just won the EPL, the team was not old neither.

I am sorry that does not stack up. Why would he join blackburn just to vanish once they won something ? it simply does not add up. If he only wanted to manage LFC then why accept a job at celtic, newcastle and blackburn it does not add up. Vish you are really scraping the barrel with logic above.
