Liverpool FC will unveil The Kenny Dalglish stand.
Surely a fitting tribute to a wonderful human being.
Oh and by the way whose football record reads eight league championships, three European Cups, two FA Cups, five League Cups and one UEFA Super Cup for Liverpool.
-
A true legend H, won the double in his first season as manager.
What would he be worth in today's market?
-
The wording on the stand says it all for me. What that man did for Liverpool in the aftermath of Hillsborough is simply staggering and has never been adequately recognised in my opinion.

Seriously? A wonderful human being?
He's a nice enough guy, I'll grant you that, but steady on - he's actually a pretty miserable git, even by his own admission. His missus (Marina) is lovely, he's not.
Save your sycophancy for someone more deserving (in my opinion of course)

Miserable git maybe like Mourinho, Mansell and Andy Murray but still winners ;)
-
Winner? Has he ever actually assembled a team?
Edit: apart from '88 :)
All I'll say further is John Barnes.

So I express my total admiration for someone and you think that you have the right to label it sycophancy and in the same sentence try and defend it with “in my opinion of course”.
Perhaps you can give me your opinion of Dalglish’s actions after the Hillsborough disaster and his work for The Marina Dalglish Appeal.
Thereafter, I won’t trouble you or other members on here any more.
-
No defence, it is my opinion, which I am allowed to express the same as you are allowed to express yours. Disagreeing with your opinion is also allowed.
Despite all his charitable work, he is still a miserable git.
Heysel? (Edit: and Hillsborough!) He's not the only person connected to LFC who conducted themselves with a great deal of dignity after such a tragedy. By singling him out you're doing a disservice to the many players and backroom staff at that club who have had to deal with two major tragedies at football grounds over the years, and (in my opinion) have also behaved empathetically and with dignity, despite an onslaught from certain areas of the popular media.

Thank you for your reply.
In the above quote I note that you didn't add " in my opinion".
But no matter. I'm off and won't trouble you again :(

I can add it if it'll make you feel better...

No thanks - I'm done on this Forum.

Good on ya Kenny.

King Kenny is magic
He wears a magic hat
When he saw the premier league
He said I'm havin that.
One of my favourite songs sang over the years, it might have been a while since it was sung but we still won it. I won't mention the car crash that has occurred since. In my opinion you don't have to be jolly all the time to be a nice person.

"King" Kenny, the director of football who had to be dragged back from his golfing holiday in Estoril when his protege John Barnes (he of 4, 2, 2, 2 formation) managed to completely lose the plot at Celtic.
Oh, and who can forget one of "king" Kenny's marquee signings, the supremely talented, charismatic and aptly named Rafael Scheidt.

Who in your opinion John F is a great manager, bearing in mind that they all seem to make mistakes at some stage. I would have Sam Allardyce back in a shot at Rovers even though I'm not enamoured with his style of football, he keeps teams up but I don't think he is a great manager. I personally can't stand Sir Alex but his management career was first class as is Arsenal Wenger, although Arsenal fans may disagree. There was a wonderful programme about Chris Coleman the other week and he has done wonders with the Welsh team, only time will tell if he becomes great.
These days managers aren't given time because of the high stakes involved and I feel that a lot of the blame is placed at their door even when it is the players that should be taking a long hard look at themselves. Football is a different game these days but I will still be glued to the radio this afternoon cheering my team on because once a team is in your blood they are there forever through thick and thin.

Jock Stein.

On a "percentage win" basis, Kenny is the seventh most successful Premier League manager.
Without googling please who are the managers above him in order.

Sorry Highlander could only name Mourinho, Ferguson and Ranieri before resorting to cheating. I wonder how these managers would compare to the old school type managers, especially when dealing with some of the more highly strung players, shall we say. Thanks for answering JF, I think Jock Stein could be included amongst the old school as could Bill Shankly.
