Kenny Dalglish - in his own words

[Trucker Paddy]

Given the mongs we have following us wanting rid of a manager with a played 8 won 5 drew 2 and lost 1,although I wanted kenny as manager, I'm kinda glad he didn't get it as some of our fans don't deserve him, and would just try tarnish him and would be calling him alsorts after a bad performance

[gkmacca]

Well, to be fair, they weren't saying 'we don't want you,' they were saying 'we want you for something else'. Should they have acceded to his wishes when he then said he wanted to be considered for the manager's job? Yes. But plenty on here - myself included - were not immediately keen on seeing him go back to that and risk getting all the flak that now goes with it. I ended up changing my mind and wanting to see him get the chance, but let's not re-write history to suit our prejudices.

If y'all stop with emotion for a second you'll realize it would have been a terrible time to appoint him. We are from from fnancially equipped enough to challenge and make right noises at the right end of the table. Till the ownership shit is sorted (if ever) I would rather he stayed away from the hot seat. Those who suggest he would "unite the fans"... To do what exactly? He would end up frustrated and disheartened like we all are.

Just my 2 pence worth.

[dennis tooth]

So Broughton was involved as welll was he?

 

What the fuck, he is here to sell the club, what the fuck is going on.

 

Nice also to know, not only was he turned down, he wasn't even considered.

 

Some strange stuff going on here.

[dennis tooth]

Worse I can't believe how many people are standing up for Broughton and Cecil.

 

I think that makes me sicker than anything else. Yes, walk all over us, walk all over our great club and we will cheer your actions.

[Guest the boy]

Not wishing to diss the King but I think he let the club down from promoting himself for the job rather than telling the board to appoint a manager like McLeish.

 

haha.

[PaulMcC]

Purslow and Broughton are cunts.

[Funkasy]

Why do they want kenny here in the long run when they both probably are gone when the club is sold ? they are going nowhere and neither are the owners! CUNTS

[dennis tooth]

When they said 'WE DON'T WANT YOU KENNY'.

 

He should have told them to go and find some investment and sell the club as they were employed and let him get on with it. He's too much class for that of course.

 

Clearly they weren't considering what the fans wanted then, not even for a second did it occur to them. Give them an inch and they take a mile.

Your right there mate..

[diego]

When Rafa was asked he said Kenny should get the job because he wanted it and because nobody knew the club better than he and because of his successful record as manager and player. Many former players also said he should get it.

 

But Purslow persuaded Broughton they would be better off with a patsy.

 

I agree that it was better for Rafa to leave rather than take any more of the bullshit. He should have left one year before. But his commitment to the club and determination to overcome the odds clouded his assessment of what was best for himself.

Some did that with our last manager?

[KopOut]

Our only hope is new owners, who see dalglish as the catalyst in a new 'success investment.' what an excuse: 'we want you in a role that extends past the managerial tenure'. fuck that! they could easily make him manager, and, when his role as manager reached an end, could then have extended the 'other' role to him as a service to a great man who deserves all we can give him in return for his service to us, regardless of how well he does for us in the interim.

 

shocked, gutted and feeling even worse after watching that abysmal performance against birmingham. the club is being sabotaged by a trojan horse, and the bastards inside the horse are running amok showing no mercy.

[Captain]

Purslow got his yes man.

[Franny DelMucho]

eat yer brecky kenny and turn on the lecky la. arrr lad me lips are dead chapped lad.

[Phoenix]

Dalglish should have been given the job.

[Marko121]

They were scared to give him the job. When Rafa spoke out, it split the support ( ie some behind him, some thinking he was moaning )

 

If Hodgson speaks out, it will again split the support as some didnt want him in the first place.

 

Imagine how many would listen if Kenny was Manager and spoke out. If they sacked him for it they would be fucking lynched ( Which they should be anyway)

[Red Nick]

McLeish would just have been battered after we drew 0-0 with a shit side like Fulham, then people would have started suggesting Hodgson.

 

Difference in how they set there teams up though McLeish plays a more Rafa style pressing game wheras Hodgson is a Houllier clone or visa versa

[Carra_is_legend]

Some did that with our last manager?

 

Yeah, wanting Rafa out after 6 years.

 

And wanting Hodgson out after 6 games.

 

Hardly a fucking comparison is it?

[Captain]

It seems you missed the point, Cil.

[Carra_is_legend]

It seems you missed the point, Cil.

 

Did I? Enlighten me.

 

If I did miss a point, I will apologise to KS.

[gkmacca]

The really bad decision was when Moores and Co had the chance to bring him back when he'd won the title at Blackburn and they blew it. That's really scandalous.

[Thants]

Not wishing to diss the King but I think he let the club down from promoting himself for the job rather than telling the board to appoint a manager like McLeish.

 

Once he left the appointment process it was all clear for that cunt purslow to appoint our current crettin manager.

 

If Kenny had stayed in the process i am sure he would have made sure we didnt end up with Hodgson.

 

That's bollock RN. And now you've said it twice you're receiving a neg.

Cut the bullshit mate, ain't read anywhere where anyone has said they want the manager gone now, just another fallacy amongst fallacies.

 

There's a difference between wanting rid of the bloke to not believing that he is good enough for us.

 

Nobody wants him gone, yet.

[Red Nick]

That's bollock RN. And now you've said it twice you're receiving a neg.

 

I actually thought you were more intelegent than that
