KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum KENNY DAGLISH

FCK IT, lets give him a thread, bit of sounding out for him in the media today.

brucie bonus:
It's a sad thing that Rafa Benitez has gone but for me there is only one man for the job and that is Kenny Dalglish," Grobbelaar told BBC Radio 5 live.

jamie red:

Kenny watches football every day and he doesn't miss a thing, I have no doubt he would be a huge success," Redknapp told BBC Sport.

"The players will also respect him as a man and a manager because of his success previously.

"To stick with Kenny Dalgish I think is a really good idea.

yea. at least 5 or 6 former players has said he should be the next manager.

someone was on the forum yesterday talking about how clubs use the media to sound out ideas.... cant remember who it was that posted it but it was a good piece of info. i wonder if this is what todays statements is about.

could be. unfortunately that person yesterday thought the clubs used the media to sound out about the possibility of mark hughes becoming the next manager...

but i agree, a lot of talk about kenny both yesterday and today.

he would be my choice too, at least until new owners were in place.

why not? if he does well then there's no reason to replace him. i just feel he's not up for it in the long term.

Out of all the names that's been linked with us, I'll go for Kenny as well.

At the very least he'll make the players understand the importance of giving it your all while wearing the LFC colours!

Dalglish will do for me at the time being, but isn't he the one selecting our next manager? Surely he can't select himself. I think its someone else.

At Blackburn, where admittedly he won the league, he developed a team that was far from the sort of enterprising outfit most hope for here. They were very direct, relying in no small part ,on the prolific Shearer. He then moved when the pressure grew and his tenure at Newcastle was a horror show.

Kenny is a great guy and a legend at LFC. It’ll take more than a legend to turn things around at Anfield, however, and his judgement can’t be that dissimilar to Rafa’s because he sure as hell backed him as the best man for the job long after most of us were having grave doubts.

Hodgson is probably the only one with a recent pedigree and an apparent understanding of European football, who’d be both available and interested. Moreover he never comes with the kind of nonsense that some managers do. I’m not a footballer but I’d be more convinced by Hodgson than most of the other realistic contenders. The managers we might ideally like (Hiddink etc) probably wouldn’t look at us while we’re in the financial mess we’re in at present.

If Dalglish took the job it’d just end in the destruction of a legend rather than in it’s enhancement. He probably realises this and will be wise enough to pass up any offer, I hope.

probably spot on there. and as raffarendum said, if he wasnt a lfc past legend, would we be considering him?

still, my inner child is kinda curious to see it happen anyway.
