Good stuff....So King Kenny, the man who has spent more time in rehab recovering from his football induced breakdowns, is in charge of the relegation threatened Liverpool....All the ingredients in place for a real good mess at Anfield!!!....

For Liverpool's sake, I hope they have a permanent replacement lined up, because Kenny will be a gibbering wreck by the time the clocks go forward.

I think the rationale is that Dzeko better complements the players we already have. Who knows, he might end up playing alongside Torres, but I think that will depend on the long term Tevez situation.

The players that we've signed under Mancini (Johnson, Balotelli, Kolarov, Toure, Boateng, Silva, Milner, Dzeko) dont seem to me to represent "continually wasted" money. We've paid more than their market value, which is a fact of life for us. We've signed players that may not yet be superstars but are quite young and have lots of potential. I much prefer that approach than trying to fill the team with established superstars.

Thank god Woy has finally left and King Kenny has been put in charge till the end of the season, be good to watch him lead the team out at OT like the good old days.

Get your tissues ready

Tissue sales just rose ten-fold in Liverpool apparently, along with pictures of Kenny, whether there's any connection between these two remains to be seen

Yeah mean that Kenny is crap mean just look at his CV compared to Woy..hmmm

RH Statement: "Being asked to manage Liverpool Football Club was a great privilege. Any manager would be honoured to manage a club with such an incredible history, such embedded tradition and such an amazing set of fans. Liverpool is one of the great clubs in world football. I have, however, found the last few months some of the most challenging of my career. I am very sad not to have been able to put my stamp on the squad, to be given the time to bring new players into the club in this transfer window and to have been able to be part of the rebuilding process at Liverpool. The club has some great, world-class players, with whom it has been a pleasure to work and I wish the entire squad well for the rest of the season. I thank those with whom I have built up a close working relationship at the club for their loyalty and support during very testing times, and finally of course to the Liverpool fans, your passion and dedication to the club will see Liverpool at the top of the game once more."

John W Henry Statement: "We are delighted that Kenny Dalglish has agreed to step in and manage the team for Sunday's FA Cup tie at Old Trafford and for the remainder of the season. "Kenny was not just a legendary footballer, he was the third of our three most successful managers - three giants. We are extraordinarily fortunate and grateful that he has decided to step in during the middle of this season."

His football CV is beyond scrutiny - totally brilliant player.

in terms of management, he's been out of the game a long time - hardly a total success post Blackburn.

when he 'inherited' liverpool - they were in somewhat of a better shape than they are now, in terms of ethos, standing in the game, confidence, the club was a an efficient winning machine in those day

media scrutiny has gone up hugely since his blackburn days, he didn't seem that fond of it last time he was managing, i don't suppose we have any idea yet as to what extent the new owners will back him in the transfer market or if they do whether the targets he fancies would want to go to liverpool.

time will tell - i think he'll find it very very tough.

It'll be interesting to see if LFC fans apply the same logic to KD's result's as they did to Hodgson. I somehow think not.
