KENNY DALGLISH today spoke out amid the storm clouds gathering over Anfield and urged everyone to pull together to help Liverpool claim "three badly needed points" against Bolton this afternoon.

Reds legend Dalglish spoke out 48 hours after his name spilled from the Kop on Wednesday night during the defeat to Wolves, with thousands of angry supporters urging him to be installed as manager in place of under-fire boss Roy Hodgson.

Dalglish, currently employed as a club ambassador at Anfield, told the Echo: "Let’s just press the pause button and throw all our efforts and energies into one basket.

"Everyone – whether players, supporters, staff or whatever – has to throw everything towards the one aim and that is to get us three badly needed points from the game against Bolton today.

"Because if everyone sticks together we’ll have a better chance of getting those three points.

"Then if we want to have a discussion after that, we can.

"But the three points for the club is more important than any single person and how they feel.

"So let’s forget the issues today and concentrate on getting those three points."

Dalglish, who was not present at Wednesday night’s game against Wolves, added: "It is about Liverpool Football Club right now – not about any individual person.

"If everybody does their job properly; if everybody sticks together; if the players excite the fans and the fans support the players and everyone is led in one direction, then we should get the result today.

"But without everybody being on the same page, it will make it a bit more difficult."

?

I'm not too sure what he means by this. He can't mean about him taking over can he?

Well, I think he just means "let's save any more general discussions until we've got the game over with, and preferably won", but that in itself leaves the door open.
 
He means don't give the manager stick from the off, lets win the game and THEN Slag the fucker off.

Don't know about him taking over, but I read alot into that and it would suggest that the owners want to get the game out the way first and get the points, which is the right attitude regardless of what everyone wants to happen to Roy, first and foremost we need the win.
 
Yeah maybe I'm reading too much into it. I doubt it's anything to undermine the manager, or leaving himself open to discussion with regard to taking over, but nevertheless it was a strange comment to make. Especially given how it could be misinterpreted with journalists looking to jump all over anything, as we know.

Down with this sort of thing, they're good people.

It was hardly a fierce backing of Roy's managerial talent was it! If more of our respected legends spoke their mind to the media more, maybe the owners might do something about it.

They're barely human beings, nevermind good people. Remember that devil who called 'Arry a "wheeler and dealer"? The outrage.

But yeah you know what I mean. You're the worst of the lot, though.

Well did you see what Phil Neal said the other day? As damning as you can get really.
 
Its certainly not a ringing endorsement of Roy and who can blame Kenny?

He didn't rate Roy in the first place and submitted his name for the post.

What he has done is support Roy as Liverpool manager and get on with his own job.

As a legend and fan he has every right to be as disgruntled as we are at the direction the club is headed and rightly so.
