"I have no problem being completely blinded by the legend and romanticism of Dalglish. Frankly, if I weren't, I'd have to wonder why I supported the club. But all of that aside, managers used to be given a good amount of time to put together what they were building. And really, football hasn't changed, it's only the people watching it that has.
And anyways, two years ago if someone told me Dalglish was coming back as manager and we were going to give him £100m and he was going to blow the lot on silver platters of coke and hookers, I'd have replied, "Yeah, but Kenny's going to be our manager."
When I talk to people who feel different, by the point in the conversation that I realise they don't feel like me, the length of that conversation has already exceeded my interest in it.
He's Kenny. He may not be bigger than the club, but he was big enough to carry it on his shoulders. All this Twitter-age srubbish about "Kenny's not immune from criticism" and "Kenny's not untouchable" is for the birds. Yes, he is, actually. The sheer tonnage of what that man did on and off the pitch for our club would stop a million-head herd of buffalo in its tracks and amounts to more than everything all the knobs in the Twitterverse have ever contributed in their lives. So they get to shut up, and he gets to manage our club. Because if the time comes when he isn't the man for the job anymore, then who am I going to trust to realise that? Mr Kenneth Dalglish himself, or some knob on the internet?
We're Liverpool Football Club. Sort yourselves out. "
