Has Dalglish resigned?

[Posh Red]

Dalglish left in the wake of Hillsborough. You do talk a lot of bollocks at times.

And there was me thinking that there was 21 months between the two events.

If he had left after the cup final in 1989 I would have agreed, but waiting almost two years when there was no doubt that the team was in decline does point towards him throwing in the towel because he didn't have it in him to rebuild.

Dalglish is a cunt - a miserable, bitter, parochial cunt.

No problem for me.

Try reading his book, the chapter on Hillsborough makes very clear the emotional price he paid after Hillsborough and that the heavy burden of leading the club through difficult times - so much so it lead to his ill-health and him taking it out on his own kids. And so what if took 21 months? Grief, PTSD, tragedies etc don't clear themselves up after 6 weeks.

Brendan Rogers set to be named then, compo to be sorted out.

That could be a cracking job but the pressure will be intolerable if they get off to a crap start.  Hope the Yanks give him the time he needs as his teams do play some attractive football.

He'd have been stupid turning it down. Worse case scenario is it turns to shit and he gets sacked after 3 months, walking away with the rest of his 3 year contract paid up. I'd put up with loads of shit from the fans for that kind of pay off.

He'll get them playing attractive football which will be a big help, plus I'm sure he'll get more time than a big name manager would have to start getting the results - expectations won't be quite as high. Think they're in cloud cuckoo land if they aim for Champions League qualification next season, can't see it happening.

Agreed, top six should be their goal and even that will require some pretty major investment.  I wonder if the Swansea-Sigurdsson deal will fall through and we see him in a red short next season?
