End it.
Well, for me it was really no question.
For the passion, pride and romance it was 10-0 for King Kenny.
For the football it was closer. Joses teams are extremely difficult to break down with their collective pressure. However Kennys offer more in attack with more movement off the ball. so a 7-3 for King Kenny there.

I can safely say I've never been more pleased with a Liverpool-manager than I am with Kenny already.
I was a wee bit too young to pay much attention to the gaffer back in his first stint at Liverpool but it only took him about three days to convince me he's indeed a class act. As much off the field as he was on it.
Every interview he's made bar none has been classy, witty and with so much respect, pride and passion it's almost unreal how he was not appointed immediately after Rafa left. Surely someone back then must've known about him still going very, very strong?
He's approach has so far epitomized what I love about football. Attacking-intent, pass and move, energy and desire. It took a few games before the first win arrived but when it did it did in style and without going to jinx anything, I can easily see us win far more games in the remaining of the Season than drawing or loosing. Far more.
I'll keep my fingers firmly crossed that he'll stay on for years good Kenneth because how wonderful would it not be if it was the King himself who brought back the trophy to Anfield, the one we all crave and almost don't dare dream about anymore, the infamous no. 19?
Mourinho doesn't come anywhere near Kenny Dalglish in so many ways and I'm almost certain that's a fact.
I've just looked it up.
It's a fact alright.

In principle I don't totally blame Broughton and Purslow for being concerned at Kenny's lack of recent management experience, but in practice they should have thought it through more carefully. If they had, I can't believe they'd have failed to appoint the King.

I don't see Mourinho's next job being in Manchester. I would be very surprised indeed if he's the Mancs' next manager - whatever else you may think of him, he's nobody's fool and he'll know what a poisoned chalice that job will be for whoever follows Ginsoak, so I don't see him going for it at this stage, especially if his time at Real doesn't end well. His prospects at Citeh will depend largely on whether Mancini maintains their current improvement - if that does happen, I can't see the owners wanting to upset the apple-cart there.
What's left? Portugal maybe, but (a) Queiroz hasn't been there long and (b) presumably the Portuguese FA would therefore have to pay him off fairly handsomely if they do cut him loose this early. And a club which Mourinho admires and has badly wanted to manage in the past (incidentally he hasn't said he doesn't want to manage LFC even now, but that he wouldn't for unidentified reasons - well, we were saying only 24 hours ago that Babel wasn't leaving).
The criticism of Mourinho as someone who picks cushy numbers is overcooked IMO. He worked his way up in Portugal, had relatively little to work with at Porto but won the CL with them, and would have come to us (hardly a sinecure then any more than now) as his first preference after the Porto job. Keni also makes a good point about the effect on him if he were to come here, namely that he would do what would be required of him if that did happen, off the field as well as on it.
And so to the poll question. I think the owners are right to have appointed the King until the summer in the first instance, so I don't think now is really the time to make this decision. However, if you put a gun to my head and say I have to do so right this minute, I'd reflect on two things: one - the King is unlikely to be in the job for a shedload of years even if he does get the permanent appointment, and two - we don't know who might follow him a couple of years or so down the line. So (with a heavy heart, as I'd truly love Kenny to lift the Prem trophy) I vote Mourinho, a serial winner.

Incredibly well reasoned stance, and I concur, but my heart wins for me so "Long live the King!"

After an incredible tussle between his head saying Mourinho and his heart say Dalglish, DB finally goes with his head.
After all, it has never let him down before.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool have been put on red-alert after Jose Mourinho allegedly issued a come and get me plea to his reputed Premier League admirers by suggesting he has decided to return to England.
The Real Madrid coach has been embroiled in a bitter war of words with Jorge Valadano and is believed to be seriously considering resigning at the end of the season according to The S**.
The self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ paid lip-service to his potential suitors by intimating he didn’t have a preference about Manchester United, Manchester City or Chelsea should he successfully engineer his return to the Premier League.
Mourinho is quoted by the S**, saying: "I've decided to return to England. I have nothing prepared about my future - I just want to be happy in my work.
"I have no preferences about Manchester United, Manchester City or Chelsea. I just want to rediscover the joy.
"I'm not saying the Premier League is the most spectacular in the world but it is the best organised, the fair play and the enormous respect for your opponent."
