So what, Literally Jamie Redknapp's the fucking oracle all of a sudden cos he's laid his support behind this hideously romantic notion?

Jesus.

No.....but i think romance is getting a lot of fans through this last week! We all want something 'Liverpool FC', which Kenny would bring. Appointing Hodgson really has no forward motion for a lot of fans. If you put him up against Kenny, theres only one winner.
Most ex liverpool players, like Redknapp will have the same opinion....once Kennys name is mentioned they're not going to be able to see the positives of having Hodgson against the nostalgic appointment of Dalglish.
In this time of 'need', most fans are'nt going to be too happy with paying Fulham a couple of million in compensation of money that isnt there, in order to get someone to do a Job that a living club legend, is willing to do!

Redknapp's a fucking laughing stock on this site. His every utterance is ridiculed to the absolute max. The second he gives it the 'Kenny's the dogs' chat though, everyone's all 'oh, great article by Jamie the legend'.

Fucking laughable.
[/quote]

Well theres more ex players than Redknapp who've thrown their weight behind the option of Kenny returning! I neither backed his opinion nor shot it down....just made it be known that given the option, Kenny would get the nod! Quite frankly i despise his analysis on sky sports!

But returning to what you quoted first......id take the hideously romantic option over the hideously unknown every day of the week!

Just because Jamie Redknapp talks shit 99% of the time, doesnt mean that this time, just because he doesnt mirror your sentiments, he's not right!

Coming from Wilko7 that's quite a thing.
[/quote]

I've always wondered who the other 6 Wilko's were.
 
I seem to recall that Jamie's dad Harry also came out in favour of appointing Kenny a few days ago.

Anybody sense a conspiracy here? 8)

I also notice on the "Liverpool Echo" website that Robbie Fowler has given his vote to Harry Redknapp as Rafa's successor.

It's all a bit complicated. :🙂

Jamies a real student of the game.

Problem is that game is kerplunk! He beats Louise nearly Half the time.
[/quote]

showing your age 😉
 
I don't think anyone is saying we should appoint Kenny just because Redknapp says so, merely that it is a decent article.
 
I have no problem with saying someone has written a good article even if normally their articles are full of shit. surely all articles should be judged on their own merits rather than prejudging the articles because of poor articles that have proceeded it.
 
OFF THE FENCE: Liverpool FC hierarchy fear how powerful Kenny Dalglish would become
Jun 11 2010 by Ben Thornley, Daily Post


KENNY DALGLISH is the only candidate on Liverpool FC’s managerial short list that could persuade Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres to stay.

It’s one of the many pressing reasons why the Anfield legend should be installed as boss – but, sadly, also why he won’t be.

Not when the decision is being made by a banker (Christian Purslow) and a Chelsea fan (Martin Broughton) on behalf of American owners that have piled an unsustainable level of debt onto Liverpool.

Debt reduction not trophy gathering has long been the priority at Anfield.

And that is reflected in the emergence of Roy Hodgson as the board’s number one choice to replace Rafa Benitez.

They want a man who knows that under normal circumstances he wouldn’t get the chance to sit in one of the game’s most prized hotseats.

Someone to steady the ship for a season or two while the club is sold, who won’t quibble when his two outstanding players are sold for a combined fee of over £100m – even though he’s unlikely to receive even half of that to reinvest.

Of course, the rest won’t go on reducing debt, we’ll be assured. Just like the fees for Xabi Alonso and Robbie Keane.

Hodgson – whose only title triumphs arrived in Scandinavia – is certainly the man for that job.

The Londoner is a fine coach who has excelled at Craven Cottage. But Liverpool will just be a chance to add another big name on his CV to go alongside Inter Milan, where he performed a similar role to the one he will be asked to undertake at Anfield.

His appointment, though, will be viewed by most as a significant reduction in ambition at Liverpool.

Not least by the Reds’ star players who will flee through the Anfield exit doors.

But it’s not in the interests of the owners to keep Gerrard and Torres – despite their presence in the Reds’ squad making the club more attractive to buyers.

Liverpool lost a club-record £50m last year as they went £351m into the red.

That was with Champions League revenue and Benitez trading at a profit last summer. As well as being an awful competition, the Europa League also offers little financial reward.

With Tom Hicks’ outrageous £800m valuation stalling the sale of Liverpool it’s unlikely the club will change hands any time soon, meaning the blundering Americans will have to find a solution to their rapidly growing debt.

Now that Benitez is out of the way, there’s no-one to stop them asset stripping – by the time they’ve left, they will probably have ripped out and sold on Anfield’s lead piping, lighting and heating system.

No-one that is except Dalglish – the only living man to have won top-flight English titles at two different clubs – and the Liverpool board probably fear how powerful he would become if made manager for a second time.

King Kenny is the only man in the Anfield hierarchy who has the club’s best interests at heart. If he feels he is the best man to take charge, who are the board to disagree?

Naming Liverpool’s greatest ever player as Benitez’s successor would give the club the lift it needs after a wretched season. He’s the overwhelming popular choice, with a poll on the excellent Reds website, the www.theLiverpoolway.co.uk, showing 93% of supporters preferring him to Hodgson.

More importantly, though, it would reassure fans and players that they mean business and are not happy just to drift further into mid-table.

Perhaps the game has moved on since Dalglish’s last managerial role at Newcastle, as some doubters have claimed.

But it is still a sport played by two teams of 11 men – despite some coaches, not least Benitez, making it unnecessarily complicated.

Forget Pro-Zone stats, blood tests and zonal marking, what really matters is the ability to read the game – as Harry Redknapp proved at Spurs this season.

And no amount of time out of the sport will dull a football brain as brilliant as Dalglish’s.

l RAFAEL BENITEZ was guilty of some howlers in the transfer market as Liverpool manager, but his record was nowhere near as bad as some critics have claimed.

Almost 90% of players he purchased increased in value. Momo Sissoko, Craig Bellamy, Peter Crouch were all sold for a tidy profit, while Xabi Alonso fetched three times the fee paid for him.

Pepe Reina, Javier Mascherano and Fernando Torres were bought for a combined sum of around £45m. It is not inconceivable that trio would fetch £130m in today’s market.

Liverpool have previously rejected bids of £14m for Dirk Kuyt (who cost £9m), while even flop Ryan Babel (£11m) was generating offers of over £12m in January.

Excessively paranoid, or on the nose?
 
Interesting. I get the feeling his vitriol gets in the way of him producing an even article in any respect.

I always thought it was less so, but never bothered reading it that often anyway, so could be wrong.
 
I get the feeling that articles from whatever source are irrelevant now. Everybody's taken their positions on what Benitez did or didn't do.

Dalglish has a strong case and would have the backing of the majority of fans. Appointing Hodgson is going to be difficult for the board as it effectively says they don't trust or believe Dalglish capable and because it would ratchet up the pressure on Hodgson; the first signs of poor results and there'll be more unrest.

If you think Benitez' detractors were vociferous, it'll seem as nothing when the man 'who took Kenny's job' weakens.

Kinell, that's the sort of thing I would expect from SOS and RAWK, not out of the Daily Post

It's pretty awful.
 
Why does the writer think any other manager besides Dalglish would sit patiently whilst the club was asset-sripped?

I agree it's shit from a journalistic point of view, however, is the sentiment fair?

I think it probably is, but I'm hoping that Hodgson doesn't even want the job and so Kenny'll get it anyway

From the Fulham Chronicle:

“No one from Liverpool, or connected with them has spoken to Roy – and he is mystified by all the conjecture over the last few days.â€

As Hodgson and Kenny are supposed to be friends or something, I'd assume, given Kenny's ties to the club, Hodgson will probably stand aside.

If Kenny really wants it, at this place in time, it should be no more than a formality. But we'll see.

Me too.

If it's the latter, we're fucked

That's a good point.
 
Whether they are mates or not Woy is unlikely to want to start as the man who got the job over Kenny is he?

Would Kenny stay on at the club? if so it could be awkward and if not that is one of the fans' biggest heroes driven away. Its no-win.
