Well isn't that blatantly obvious? One is an absolute cretin, appointed by a cretin and had absolutely no affiliation with the club. The other is deemed the club's greatest player; by far and out the fans' favourite and everything Kenny means to the club mean his results won't be viewed with the same kind of scrutiny, but it's leeway he's earned through having such a stunning history with the club and its supporters. That may not be fair, it may even prove us to be 'fickle', but, at the end of the day, that's the way it goes when people have favourites.

could it be argued that Dalglish's opposition to the appointment of Hodgson undermined him from the start?

His football CV is beyond scrutiny - totally brilliant player.

in terms of management, he's been out of the game a long time - hardly a total success post Blackburn.

when he 'inherited' liverpool - they were in somewhat of a better shape than they are now, in terms of ethos, standing in the game, confidence, the club was a an efficient winning machine in those day

media scrutiny has gone up hugely since his blackburn days, he didn't seem that fond of it last time he was managing, i don't suppose we have any idea yet as to what extent the new owners will back him in the transfer market or if they do whether the targets he fancies would want to go to liverpool.

time will tell - i think he'll find it very very tough.

Your right he's not done anything since coming 2nd with Newcastle but he success as a player and his 4 titles plus 2 FA Cups as manager is up there with the best.

He wanted the job before Roy came in because he felt he could do a better job then the names Purslow had on the list, its what Kenny wants he's ready for it 1989 really messed him up but this is his time again.

If Dalglish struggles it will be the team Hodgson left him, when Hodgson struggled it wasn't Rafa left him. I don't think that will happen to be honest as I think the players and club will be galvanised by Dalglish.

Very bold statement. Do you see him as manager beyond this season?

Does it?

His time to manage Liverpool again is what I am suggesting.

Yes we are in the upper bit tomorrow.

Yeah, it can be viewed both ways. Today's events will make the atmosphere even better. Like the old days when away fans got more tickets than the few thousand they get now. I'm fearing a Leeds type performance from us though.
