Dalglish and Rush?

[goatboy59]

He was successful with a boot room and Ray Harford.

 

He needs a top coach alongside him, and who knows someone who can step up in two years time.

 

Let's ask Rafa!

[zigackly]

There is a breakdown of communications between both parties which suggests a parting of the ways is becoming a possibility.

And if that happens, Dalglish looks likely to step into the breach on a temporary basis, with fellow Liverpool legend Ian Rush, to provide stability and breathing space in the search for a permanent successor.

 

I'd take that.

[gkmacca]

I can't forget that weird white-lipped look of his at Anfield when he won the title with Blackburn - he looked a bit ill then. I really wouldn't want to see him put himself through the strain ever again, and, as has been said, I'd hate to read the insults on here and elsewhere. He deserves just to take the adulation and enjoy his life with Marina.

[goatboy59]

That was a title race that came down to the final seconds.

 

Think we can safely guarantee him protection from that!

[rubble-rouser]

The thing he would bring is stability over a period of 1-2 years. We migt be able to keep siome decent players with him on board. If we bring in another foreign coach (unless it's someone out of the toop drawer) we will have 2-3 years of tinkering on a small budget and no real prospect of keeping Torres and others over that period of time. Kenny might be able to hold this squad together through all the shit.

What? Can we offer him something less stressful? That's optimistic.

Like he did at Celtic? The man doesn't deserve the hassle or the abuse this job involves.

[goatboy59]

Funny you should reference that season. Personally I'm hoping for a 1994 to 1995 style "phew we're not as shit as we thought" scenario in the next 12 months.

 

With nice guy Roy?

[Jennings]

Many of the problems that we need to solve are long term problems, requiring stability, direction and certainty. I don't think an interim solution of any sort is what we need.

 

Long live the King!

[Dougie Do'ins]

I pray to God that this doesn't happen - I'd hate to go on internet messageboards and see the slagging Kenny would get because he didn't win the league with David N'Gog, Jay Spearing, Lucas Leiva and the rest.

Dont believe everything you read in newspapers. ;)

[lostinspace1970]

If we get Jesus then that should please even some of Rafa's most staunch supporters. Next best thing to god.

 

Robbie Fowler ?

[Fowlers God]

I would hate coming on here and giving his name stick after a bad result though- better left how he is in my eyes, a legend!! Long Live the KING

I agree in the longer term, but to get the kind of appointment who will give us those things we need new owners who will back the manager. If we don't have new owners and Rafa leaves we will need an interim solution until the club is sold.

[Newport]

Kenny knows better than to return with the two mongs running the club. I'm surprised speculations about him took this long, though.

 

As for the other candidates I wouldn't mind Van Gaal. His teams plays exciting football and he's definitely a winner.

 

Oh and who wouldn't want a manager named Aloysius Paulus Maria van Gaal?

I know what you mean. I'd have to give up message boards or else get a life sentence....

[OnizukaEikichi]

The game has changed since he left management. I dont really want to see him manage us as if he flops, I cant imagine what sort of shit will be thrown to him.

[Monster Masch]

I'm really sickened the amount of people that doubt the King's ability.

 

Nobody expects him to do wonders, so he won't be sacked.

 

One season aiming for a top four finish and a domestic cup would be great. Anything under 15 defeats too.

Why does people keep saying there will be shit thrown at him?

 

I don't think there would. People would just say he is not the man for the job rather than personal abuse.

 

I think he'd do a solid job though.

People on this very site have been giving him shit for working for the club.

But he did return. OK not in the position that's being referred to here, but it was inevitable that as soon as Rafa's position at the club was in doubt, Kenny would be named a possible replacement.

 

In the short term we need to restore some stability within the playing squad and I believe Kenny will do that.

[Pidge]

even the article is only really talking about him as caretaker. Sunday would be the only game he would have.

No one is doubting his ability. They're doubting his appetite for an impossible job, and they don't want to read about him being a headwand, a shit Scottish c*** and a disgrace. He has far too much class for the cesspit that football has become, and he's already given far, far, more than anyone has a right to expect of any Red.

All he has to do is not get us losing 19 games.

 

Hardly an impossible job following Rafa this season.

Good call that.

 

Except for the Roy Evans bit.

This is so disingenuous. What about finishing second? That didn't stop Benitez from being abused on here from start to finish by some. If the forums had been around when Kenny was dropping Beardsley and buying the likes of Jimmy Carter he would have barricaded inside his house with police guards. For god's sake, the man was getting bad enough abuse at Newcastle when he got them to a damn cup final! Fans calling for him to return are like Norman Bates slashing prices on guest rooms for the holiday season.
