JH Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Aye, whatever. I wouldn't turn to Dalglish to restore Liverpool's status just like I wouldn't turn to Shearer to solve our striking crisis. Didn't think I was saying anything particularly controversial, but hey I'm just a biased fool who hates him. I guess we'll see this time next year who is right.

Ronaldo Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 How are those 2 scenarios even remotely comparable? There's nothing physically or mentally stopping Daglish from managing a PL club. At Liverpool, his past works heavily in his favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Having watched the horrible unbalanced sides he put out at Newcastle I'm with Johnny on this one. Like Allardyce at Blackburn, he's walked into a side built for his defensive mindset. A side he wouldn't have had the imagination to put together himself. If he's a top manager he must have hated us with a passion to have put out some of the fear-ridden line ups he did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest schmuck Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Dalglish's best results were with the players Keegan bought. The more of them he replaced with his own turgid shite, the worse our results got. What about Given, Hamann, Solano, Tomasson and Speed? 3 of them were huge in any success we had since, and the other 2 went on to be top European players. Yes he bought a lot of filler early on, but so did Bobby, the big difference being he was allowed to continue building after a a mid table finish and Dalglish wasn't. I'm the biggest Keegan fan going but you can't blame him for breaking up his team, if you've got different ideas to your predecessor chances are you'll need different players.

Guest Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I hope they get in really. Might hurt them getting into the top 4 next year while at the same time hitting Spurs in the pocket and might unsettle one or two of their stars. Win-win situation imo.

johnnypd Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 their win last night reminds me of us under Keegan beating Spurs 4-1 at White Hart Lane. Will be interesting to see if their owners jettison Dalglish like we did with Keegan. I can see an argument for bringing in a younger boss in Dalglish's case, and liverpool can get better managers than we can turn to, for a number of reasons. And like Keegan, you have to wonder whether kenny has to hunger to stay in the post for a number of years. if it were me i'd keep Dalglish on for two years but knowing his track record wouldn't expect much beyond that.

That's actually a bigger indictment of his managerial ability. He actually bought some good players which is why I never had a pop at his signing history. But the inability to put out balanced sides or buy players to compliment his battery of hard working midfield stoppers was his biggest failing in my view.

JH Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The talk of this being different to the KK situation as Liverpool 'back their managers' is a bit flawed. Yes, they may not piss him off as spectacularly, but there will come a time where they have to say No to him (be it a signing, more transfer money - whatever). We'll see how the fans react to that. It doesn't always pay to have a manager that is as big as the club in the eyes of the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Agree with Tron really (regarding his time at nufc that is). Hamann, Solano, Tomasson and Speed were all one paced to an extent. Luckily the managers after that remedied the problem by bringing in pacier high energy players like Dyer, Jenas, Robert, Bellamy, Bernard. Also, Speed was initially brought in as a left-winger, a position in which he was becoming increasingly awful, and it took later managers to completely convert him into a central midfielder. As for Tomasson, he was signed too early in his career and he was never a great player, most of his success came playing for Denmark or in the shite dutch league. At Milan he was mostly a bit part player and it never looked like he was suited to premiership football even at his peak. terrible signing. Dalglish was absolute shite here, turned a side going for the title into one who looked slow, turgid and lacking in ideas unable to get out of mid-table. there's no excuse for that. mind you the timing of his sacking was idiotic, should've gotten rid that summer or gave him most of the season to turn things around.
