Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

The sooner it's over, the sooner we have to face up to club football, Roy Hodgson, Torres at Chelsea, Gerrard at Madrid, Benitez and Mascherano at Inter, Europa League, crap players, despair, depression, debt, disease, coma and death.

Well i for one would be gutted if true, I dont think Kenny is the man for the job based on the time he spent out of the transfer market , But If it was just between him and Woy Hodgeson then It's a no brainer.................he can keep the Gerrard ,Torres and others interested but with poor old Woy then I'm afraid we are scewed IMO obviouslyOriginally posted by Tatterdemalion View PostAccording to the South African supporters club, Kenny has retracted his interest in the job.You Can Lead A Horse To Water , But A Pencil Must Be Lead!

Dalglish has muddied Anfield waters with interest in manager’s job
Hodgson is left in an awkward position after Liverpool legend puts his name forward for role in wake of Benitez’s departureMatt Dickinson Commentary 21 Comments

Should Roy Hodgson become the new manager of Liverpool, he will do so knowing that Kenny Dalglish wanted his job. And there we were thinking that Rafael Benitez’s departure was meant to cure Anfield of its internicine politics.
Instead the in-fighting may grow worse now that Dalglish, the Club Ambassador, has put his employers in an awkward position by allowing it to be known that he wants to be considered for the post.
He must have done so aware that thousands of supporters would swing behind King Kenny, deluded by romantic notions that he can click his fingers and bring the good times back to Merseyside. After all, his only valid claim to the job, more than a decade after he last worked in management, is his popularity.
Christian Purslow, the managing director, now finds himself in an unenviable position, given that scepticism about Hodgson around Anfield is liable to increase simply on the back of Dalglish’s expression of interest.
But then doubts about Hodgson are reasonable, too. Is the Fulham manager, able though he is, truly the best man for the job or is he someone soothing, someone grateful for the opportunity, who can muddle through during a turbulent period?
To decide on an easy option without chasing after more ambitious targets such as Guus Hiddink, or even speaking to Martin O’Neill, is dangerous short-termism at a time when Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are considering their futures.
It paints a sorry picture of Liverpool, a great club fast in danger of becoming a Premier League basket case, where the owners are divided, the club is in vast debt and even loyal players are disaffected.
On the terraces, Mark Hughes is dismissed not because he has negligible experience in Europe but because he is associated with Chelsea, Everton and Manchester United. Dalglish is considered credible by many simply because he is King Kenny.
At this rate Liverpool will become another Newcastle United — a club where emotions run high and logic flies out of the window.

Inter Milan boss Rafa Benitez: Give Liverpool job to Kenny Dalglish

Rafa Benitez threw his weight behind Kenny Dalglish's bid to become Liverpool manager and hailed him as the perfect fit to revive their fortunes.
Inter Milan's new coach made his first appearance before the Italian media, but still found time to address his departure from Anfield and the subject of who should replace him.
Despite Roy Hodgson remaining Liverpool's preferred choice, Benitez insisted Dalglish was best qualified to appease disgruntled fans and ease some of the pressure on owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.

Reflecting on the way Dalglish has been revered by Liverpool followers ever since his arrival from Celtic in 1977, the former Liverpool manager said: 'I think they should look at Kenny Dalglish. He is the best man for the job. The owners should listen to the fans because they are unhappy.
'No one knows the club better than Dalglish, and he would be perfect there. He wants the job and in my opinion he should get it.'
Benitez was axed earlier this month amid claims that several senior players had lost faith in him during a calamitous season in which Liverpool would have missed out on Europe altogether, but for Portsmouth's financial predicament.

He strongly denied losing the dressing room, though, and revealed that he made a point of sending birthday wishes to Steven Gerrard when the Liverpool skipper was 30 at the end of last month.
'Before I left, I spoke with 95 per cent of the Liverpool players, and I contacted Steven Gerrard on his birthday,' he added.
'The majority said, "Thank you for everything". I spoke with Gerrard, and he was fine. In fact, he wished me well. I left on a positive note and the relationship with the players was good.
'It was hard for me to leave Liverpool. It was really difficult and I was sad to go. It was not easy, because the fans on the Kop were always fantastic to me. All the fans were like that. It was a sad day when I left, but I had to do it.
'My youngest daughter grew up in Liverpool. I was there for six years and she is only seven, so we will be looking at English schools. Both the girls were very attached to Liverpool - neither of them supports Everton.'
Benitez, who signed a two-year contract worth more than £4million a year, was frequently at odds with his predecessor Jose Mourinho, when they were rivals in the Barclays Premier League.
He hinted he may seek his advice, though, once he has assessed his squad and the former Chelsea boss has settled in at Real Madrid.
'I haven't spoken with Mourinho, because I have been very busy and so has he,' he said.
'Maybe I will talk with him in a few weeks when we are not so busy.
'I am not an anti-Mourinho, and I believe he did a good job here. We are different, but I like to win and I like to play good football, so I don't think we are all that different. I am not going to change anything, because that would not be very clever.'

Benitez confirmed he will look to strengthen Inter's squad, despite last season's eye-catching success at home and in Europe, and has been linked with moves for Liverpool midfielders Javier Mascherano and Dirk Kuyt.
'I cannot talk about players at other clubs,' he said. 'I will discuss possible transfer targets with the people here, but I think we will be looking to bring in top-level players.

'A few years ago, there was interest in me from Inter, but we didn't have any direct contact. Now this opportunity has come at the right time, and I mean to make the most of it.
'In Italy, you live and breathe football. In Sardinia, where I was on holiday, I saw reporters and paparazzi at my hotel in all positions, 4-5-1, 4-3-3.'
Liverpool, meanwhile, denied claims that Chelsea had offered £50m for striker Fernando Torres and reiterated their stance that any such approach would be rejected.

Leaving Fulham Could Jeopardise England Job - Insider
By Kevin Markey Wednesday, 16th June 2010
Fulham chiefs are working on manager Roy Hodgson, urging him to resist any offer from Liverpool.
Fulham insist they have had no approach yet but are braced for a fight to hang on to their boss.
Owner Mohamed Al Fayed recently made £1.5b from the sale of posh London store Harrods and has vowed to use it to plough more cash into the club.
Hodgson is also a candidate to eventually replace England boss Fabio Capello and could miss out if he joins Liverpool this summer and the Italian quits after the World Cup.
A Fulham insider told The ****rag: "Leaving Fulham to take over at England would be seen as the pinnacle of Roy's career. And everyone thinks that's what he would love to do. He could miss out on that if he gets tempted by Liverpool and then the England job comes up not long after.
"There's also the question of Liverpool being up for sale at the moment. Roy could go there under the current owners, new men come in and the job could end up being very short-term."
Fingers cwossed eh?In Klopp we trust.
