Dear Kenny:
I understand that you have been asked to help find a new manager to replace Rafa Benitez at Liverpool, many feel that you are the most qualified person for the job. As you know football has changed a lot since you were a manager and unfortunately the modern fans and pundits are very impatient and tend to want results right away. People tend to ignore the bigger picture and simply focus on the manager who can only do so much based on the resources provided to him.
As a kid you were my idol, your poster used to hang above my bed, I can still hear “Dalglish, Rush, Goal…” echo after all these years. When I was a teenager you were the manager that brought the famous double and then consoled the grieving families of the Hillsborough disaster.
Here is my pledge to you:
If you are asked to take over as manager and should you accept please know that you have my full support, no matter what happens. Liverpool F.C. is not the same club it used to be, should you become the next gaffer you will have to have to deal with two greedy owners who only care about squeezing every penny out of our beloved club.
You were a Legend, You are a Legend and You will always be a Legend.
You’ll Never Walk Alone
