Liverpool FC’s principal owner John W Henry has spoken about how he believes the return of Kenny Dalglish to the club will help them become a dominant force once again, according to The Liverpool Echo.
With the return of the King to the corridors of power within Anfield, Henry has spoken out about his feelings towards Dalglish, and how pleased he is that he has returned as a non-executive director:
“Kenny is a towering figure in the history of Liverpool Football Club. Along with Bill Shankly, he embodies what the club stands for,” Henry said.
“As a player and a manager, Kenny established his position as a football great. But that is only half the story. His compassion and leadership in the immediate aftermath of Hillsborough brought great solace to the families of the 96.
“His support of the campaign for justice since 1989 has been unfailing and inspirational and has given him a status that goes far beyond that of a mere sporting figure.
“However, the return of Kenny Dalglish is not about the past. We are building for the future.
“Kenny brings the sort of intelligence, experience and knowledge that will help us reach our goals.
“Tom (Werner), Ian (Ayre), Brendan (Rodgers) and I along with every single Liverpool supporter, staff member and player want to welcome back Kenny with the same warmth and depth of feeling that he has shown for his club over these decades.”
