      My feelings on the issue are simple, I doubt very much that kenny will be considered for the job long term because if it was to be the case why have nesv waiting to appoint him full time in the summer when they can give him the job now?

      As for gerrard and even carra I dont think the will be in a title winning side for liverpool.

      Hopefully thay are just a little concerned how he will handle the pressure and the job after so long out of the hot seat. I think its in Kenny's own hands, if he does a good job he should without question get the job perminantly. I just hope they give him every assistance by allowing him to bring in a few players NOW.

      Agree with your second point.  Fundamental that a new manager can break free of the shackles of Gerrard and Carra because sadly they do not represent the long term future of Liverpool.  Both of them are past their best, although in Gerrard's case he is still far better than many midfielders in the Premier League (but for how long).

      As for your first point, difficult to call.  I can see the logic in the caretaker role.  It was clear that Roy Hodgson was taking the team backwards, not acting himself in the Liverpool way and certainly taking the football a million miles away from the Liverpool way.

      They took decisive action, but it's right that they consider their next move.

      I don't think Gerrard sees things that way mate :-

      Quote

      Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has set himself the target of playing for another five years.


      The England midfielder, 31 in May, admits he has been lifted by Kenny Dalglish's return as manager in the last fortnight.

      And he wants to carry on playing for as long as possible, although he has considered taking his coaching badges like team-mate Jamie Carragher.

      "It's not my main priority or focus at the moment, I still think that's a long way off," he told LFC Weekly.

      "I believe I can play football for another four or five years but I do sometimes think about what I'm going to do when I finish playing.

      "I would like to stay involved in some capacity, whether that's on the media side or in the dugout we'll have to wait and see.

      "I will certainly try to get my coaching qualifications at some point."

      I bloody hope he does get a League title if he's going to be with us for the next five years anyway!

      I dont see john henry and co giving handouts for 5 more years when it goes against the model of what they want to achieve which is to blood young tslented players who can make their mark on the team and flourish over the years.

      Manure had their golden generation and made the most of it we had ours under evans and now we have another generation hopefully ready to fill theirs and the clubs potential next year.

      Stevie's way too good and too iconic to be stood aside for the sake of a few quid tho'. ...and they know it.

      we have had past iconic players that were moved on or moved on and so have the top 4 pl teams. Arsenal a model which nesv like have had several big names as have manure moved on for the better of the team even though the results in the short term will suffer.

      Stevie would see him in training everyday, so he must see the difference in the team. If Stevie thinks he deserves it and results and perfomances go Kenny's way, then why not.

      If Kenny feels he has earned the right to be considered I will be delighted. The same goes for the players. If you want him to stay earn the right to wear the shirt for him.

      It's good SG come out and speak that way for King Kenny, at least it's positive one.
      If SG can play with his best and not much injure (as we saw in 2008/2009) plus his fully positive mentality to work with the King then I believe we can say happy for football side (I mean how our team success or fail from now on still much depend on the owner's or management side).

      And I too hopefully the team and Kenny can improve the situation, at least finish in top seven that's might help us to see the King as a boss in next season, and then if the owner can't do what ManCity's owner can then isn't it better to build our team under our great King Kenny.

      If they just appoint him as career for now though they can see how he does and see if they think it'll work for them and the club for the long term.

      Wasn't the guy at Blackburn appointed caretaker, but now he's been given a 2-3 year contract?

      stevie always says positive things but the players should step up to the plate with above average performances. i see real passion and desire from lower league teams we have played. and those guys get paid peanuts compared to our stars. its up to stevie to inspire them

      I think all this bodes well for KD, with the respect of the club and the adoration of the fanbase I think FSG will do a double take before they replace him. Quite honesty if they do replace him it's going to have to be a younger manager who has a bigger name then KD or the shitestorm it would create would be immense and I think TW/JH know that already.

      Walton some of it might be holding back some PR also...I mean they got a tremendous bounce from his recent appointment, as bad as it may sound even if is there intention to go a 2-3 year contract with him, they might wait with the news for when they need it.

      Very political doing it that way, but from a business standpoint it does make sense to hold onto some cards for a rainy day.
