FOR those who may have missed the news, Liverpool FC have welcomed back ‘The King’ Kenny Dalglish to the club in a non-executive directors role, as reported by Sky Sports.
Dalglish, who left the Anfield club seventeen months ago after his second spell as manager came to an end with his sacking by owners Fenway Sports Group, has now accepted a seat on the board at his beloved Liverpool FC.
Dalglish has also moved quickly to confirm that he has no plans to get involved in first team affairs at anytime:
“The most important person in me coming back was Brendan,” Dalglish told the club’s official website.
“The manager is more important than I am and his position was more important to me than my position.
“You could fully understand if the manager wasn’t in agreement with it. If he wasn’t, he would never have known I’d been asked.
“That was the most important thing for me, the fact that people within the club knew I was coming back and wanted me to come back and I wasn’t standing on anybody’s toes.
“If you’re coming back to help the football club in any way you certainly don’t want to come back to hinder.
“We’ll be in close proximity but Brendan is in charge of the team 100 per cent.
“It’s nothing to do with me. I’m here to be of help to anybody; if he wants to have a conversation, I’m here to do as I’m told or asked to do, and that suits me fine.
“I want people around us who have this club and what it stands for in their heart.”
