Liverpool legend Alan Hansen has called on the Liverpool owners to give the managerial role permanently to Kenny Dalglish. He wrote in his column for the Daily Telegraph:
“Any manager other than Kenny would now be a disappointment for the club’s supporters, but that’s because of the turnaround on the pitch during his two months in charge, rather than his status as a god-like figure at Anfield. But Liverpool’s owners have to be careful now because, if they don’t act quickly, there might be a vacancy at a club like Chelsea in the summer and who knows what would happen? I’m not suggesting for one minute that Kenny would want to leave Liverpool, but there is no value in waiting until the summer to give him the job. Now is the time to give him the job on a full-time basis because the challenge at Liverpool is getting the club back into the Champions League and the planning for next season needs to start now. If Kenny does not know whether or not he will be here next season, then he cannot start to look for the players that the team need to improve”
Hansen still thinks that Dalglish believes that the Champions League is in reach this season:
“Kenny being Kenny, he still believes that he can get Liverpool into the Champions League this season and he will be focusing on getting the team as close as possible to that objective. When I played under him in 1986, we had just lost to Everton and I said to Kenny that it was the worst Liverpool team that I had played in. But he still believed the team could achieve something and, ten weeks later, we ended the season by winning the Double. Back then, he spoke about the need to get some impetus going and that is what he will be thinking now. He has now generated that impetus again by getting the team winning, lifting morale and the victory against Manchester United, following on from the win at Chelsea last month, has given the club real impetus. So the time is right for the owners to hand Kenny the full-time contract because it would just give the club another boost and allow everybody to turn their attentions to getting Liverpool back to where those at Anfield believe they belong. Kenny has changed the whole mood of the club. It is now a completely different place to walk into compared to the dark days of last November. I don’t see anybody out there who could do the job better than Kenny and hopefully the owners will not wait much longer before making it a permanent appointment. At 60, he is still young enough for the job and he will also be cheap. There will be no compensation fee required to get Kenny to sign a contract and it would make perfect sense to make the decision now.”
