Re: Liverpool Thread
Seeing as Dalglish was asked not to go to Italy does nobody else think he will do an interim job up till jan, or may if it goes well?
I can't see the new owners, who seem to know nothing about football, already appointing a new manager on a big contract within a couple of days. Ofcourse maybe behind the scenes they have already been working on it but I would still find it odd for them to do it when they have talked about good business, not jumping in, learning the ropes, etc.
For me it's a perfect situation for all if Kenny takes over; I would expect the players to get a decent boost (He has known the players for more then a year, maybe two being part of the set-up). would know most of the training and systems used and he gets to try the job again whilst not being under "pressure" as he would only be an interim manager till the summer.
Hodgson goes out with a modicum of decency as he hasn't dragged the club down beyond repair and can cite different circumstances, unexpected pressures, etc
And the owners can bed in whilst knowing the pressure and doom at the club will hopefully be removed with a few decent results and a club favorite at the helm.
Anyway, good news about Purslow, although I find it pretty odd that someone who was brought in to sell the club ended up doing the transfers, undermining Rafa and getting a new manager in! Speaking of which, what a waste that Rafa had to leave for about 8 league matches...
