That would be the funniest thing since people thinking Kevin Keagan or Alan Shearer would be good men for the Newcastle job.

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that Dalglish is the temp manager whilst they search for another, which he will have a hand in picking also.

Even though he won't be able to do much due to the WC.
 
Liverpool FC today confirmed that Rafael Benitez is to leave the club by mutual consent.

Mr Benitez relinquishes his position as team manager after six years and the Board of Directors would like to place on record their grateful thanks for his services and wish him all the best in his future career.

The Board has now asked Managing Director Christian Purslow, with the assistance of Club Ambassador Kenny Dalglish, to begin a formal search to identify and assess potential candidates for the managerial position.

No timescale has been placed on the process and Liverpool FC will make no further statement until a new manager is appointed.

LFC Chairman Martin Broughton said: "Rafa will forever be part of Liverpool folklore after bringing home the Champions League following the epic final in Istanbul but after a disappointing season both parties felt a fresh start would be best for all concerned.''

Rafael Benitez said: "It is very sad for me to announce that I will no longer be manager of Liverpool FC. I would like to thank all of the staff and players for their efforts.

"I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager.

"Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."

So dont want any of these managing us....Martin O'Neill, Roy Hodgson or Guus Hiddink! Very uncertain times ahead!!!
 
Well at least you have got Sammy Lee to hold the fort until a suitable replacement can be found.
Not sure who would want the job until its future is made more certain TBH, sure a few prem managers would jump at the chance but i dont think any one would be a big enough or good enough to take the job.
 
Appointing Dalglish in the short term is probably the best thing to do, regardless of anyones opinions on how successful he was with us before; at least we'll have somebody that cares about the club in a position of (reasonable) power. Who knows, he may even be able to persuade Torres to hang on 1 more season (which I'm certain Benitez would have been able to do).
 
Dread to think what our starting 11 will be come the first game of the season. Pretty sure it'll be far worse than the team that would've started had Benitez stayed :(
