If Liverpool win today they will go 5th, win all the remainng games and they will finish 5th. What a great transformation from the King. Just think if we'd of had Kenny from the start of the season.
I agree he has done a fine job....However, he has done so without any expectation whatsoever. His only task, when he took over, was to make sure the totally impossible didn't happen, and that relegation was avoided.
Considering that was never, ever going to happen, then the real test for Dalglish begins in August, when he has to mount a serious challenge for the top 4 and further trophies....I'm still in the camp that believes Liverpool actually need a fresh break from the past, but seeing as Kenny has done such a good job so far, then that is unlikely to happen just yet.
One thing is for certain, once the press get a chance to sink their claws into Dalglish, for whatever reason, then that is when the true test of his resolve and abilities as a modern day manager will be tested.
