The atmosphere on here was crackling with excitement. It made me quite proud to be part of the TLW forum.

That's just beautiful.

 

But Kenny wheeling away after sealing the league at Chelsea in '86 will be forever etched in my happy memory place. Great goal, legendary celebration.

 

What a fucking champion (swear word for emphasis).

The club is a better place with him on the Board.

 

His return as caretaker manager galvanised the club at a torrid time, and although he should probably have taken up his current position that summer, he is now in a position to offer the club the full breadth of his experience.

 

Managers will come and go, that is the way it is. But the continuity that he can now offer augurs well for the future for the club.

Mumbai:  dalglish-lfc300.jpgLiverpool legend Kenny Dalglish, popularly called 'King Kenny' by Reds' fans, will soon be seen coaching one of the eight franchise teams in the much-awaited Indian Super League scheduled to start in January 2013.

A Hall of Famer in England and Scotland, Kenny is the recent signing by tournament organiser IMG-Reliance as 'marque' manager. He will be joined by former Manchester United goalkeeper great Peter Schmeichel and France international Marcel Desailly.

IMG-Reliance & Star India this week, had announced the launch of Indian Super League, a football championship that will feature international stars and foster local talents, with the aim of making the game one of the country's flagship sport and India a name to reckon with in the global arena.

The league will feature eight city specific teams and will tap the burgeoning interest among the country's young population that's increasingly taking interest in the sport globally.

The league will kick off in January 2014 and will run through March.

Star India, which also owns broadcast and sponsorship rights, will use its leading network, superior content creation, packaging and presentation expertise to take the league to millions of households.

The league will have world-class international players play with the best from India.

Each team will have one marquee player, international footballers and the best of Indian talent.

Given India's burgeoning interest in football and the country's long association with the sport, the league is expected to herald a new era in the country's football culture.

Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Bangalore, Kochi, Goa and Pune have been identified as the nine venues that will be up for bidding.

seems odd that

The club are pushing big in India. We opened a center up there a couple of years ago. Just announced we are building an academy. It's an emerging market and those are the markets we care most about. 1bn currently unaffiliated fans. This is FSG's raison d'etre. As they've stated repeatedly. So not odd at all, KK will be doing a job for the club.

KK's involvement will be invaluable in providing first hand knowledge of how this league evolves.

 

India and China both have the interest in football and the money to make things happen in their country's, I suspect there will be considerable pressure to fast track development. 

 

The broadening of the "World Club Cup" in the future is inevitable, the liklihood is that franchises will be established in the developing countries to enable them to compete and offer local representation in world tournaments,
