Comparing Dalglish taking over to the Souness debacle is a bit unfair to be honest.
The difference is Dalglish actually had a successful tenure as manager already. Souness however failed miserably.
I admit I'm also a bit worried about Dalglish taking over but I'm somehow exited as well.
Our fall from grace started with Kenny leaving, wouldn't it be great if he's the one that gets us back where we belong.
During his spell we played the best football in Europe, pass and move. Simple. Maybe we should get back to basics.

It might have started just a little bit before then

Quote from Wikipedia:
"Dalglish left Liverpool FC in 1991, with the club defending their title and still in contention for both the league title and the FA Cup."
So I'm guessing he left in the middle of the season with us at the top of the table. We won the league in the previous season.
Explain to me how our downfall started before he left?

Because the team needed rebuilding , it had got too old. they had all got too old together, The Everton cup game, were the final straw and he couldn't face sacking all his mates....just my theory btw, but one that others do subscribe to.
Kenny Dalglish’s last match as Liverpool manager saw Everton come from behind four times to force a 4-4 draw in a fifth round FA Cup tie in 1991. Tony Cottee was the Toffees’ saviour, Dalglish resigned the next day and Everton went on to win the replay 1-0.

I think the pressure got to him. I know people felt he used Hillsborough as an excuse, whatever. It was difficult for alot of players/staff involved so no one will really know the truth. As far as the story goes he just wanted to take time out and regretted his decision almost straight away.
The ageing team thing is always a fair point though.
