A revealing look at the contrasting fortunes of Beckham, Zidane and Ronaldo following the World Cup. Being dissatisfied with the potential candidates, Dalglish put his hat into the ring and asked to be considered for the post. The board however chose to appoint Roy Hodgson. Hodgson's tenure was to be unsuccessful and short-lived.
When new owners, the New England Sports Ventures group dismissed Hodgson in January , Dalglish was appointed caretaker manager in his place. Dalglish, working alongside new coach Steve Clarke , quickly turned Liverpool's fortunes around on the pitch, despite numerous injury problems and the sale of Liverpool star player, Fernando Torres.
He invested large sums of money in strikers Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll and led the club to a sixth place finish in the league, despite the club languishing in 12th place when he took over.
Dalglish is largely credited with restoring a feelgood factor to the club, which had gone missing over the previous 18 months and brought a great deal of optimism amongst the fans for the future.
Due to the success of Dalglish's spell as caretaker manager, he and Clarke were handed three-year contracts on 12 May During his time as caretaker manager, Dalglish also had the opportunity to lead out Liverpool in Europe for the first time as manager. He managed four Europa League games, winning one, losing one and drawing two as Liverpool crashed out at the round of 16 stage to Portuguese outfit- and eventual runners up, Braga.
Dalglish spent heavily in the summer transfer window and entered the season with a new-look squad. The club set a target of challenging for a place in the top 4 and hence sealing Champions League qualification. The team's top 4 challenge was progressing steadily in the first half of the season, with them generally maintaining a four or five point gap from the Champions League places. However the new year saw a dramatic slump in form that was to last for the rest of the campaign.
An unfortunate home defeat to Arsenal on 3 March left the team 10 points adrift of 4th and Liverpool quickly fell away, ultimately ending the season in 8th place, 17 points off 4th. Of particular concern was a fruitless home record as Liverpool won just 6 of their 19 games at Anfield , and also a disappointing lack of goals- the team managing just 47 strikes in the 38 games.
Liverpool's 52 point haul represented the club's worst League campaign since they were relegated in As the season deteriorated, Dalglish came under fire and in particular was heavily criticised for his expensive purchases that were deemed to be failing to live up to their price tags- notably Jordan Henderson , Andy Carroll and perhaps most of all, Stewart Downing.
A number of fans called for Dalglish's removal, however a large section insisted Dalglish be retained for the season. Whilst the League campaign had not gone to plan, on 25 January , Dalglish coached Liverpool to their first major cup final since after his team negotiated a series of tricky away fixtures against the likes of Stoke and Chelsea, and then a two-legged semi-final tie against high-flying Manchester City to make the League Cup Final against Cardiff City.
It was the first match Liverpool played at the new Wembley stadium, and first at Wembley full stop since Dalglish then guided his side to a hard-fought victory on penalties over a stubborn Cardiff City side to land Liverpool their first piece of silverware in six years. Dalglish then coached the club to their second appearance at Wembley after sealing a semi-final berth in the season's FA Cup, following home victories over Oldham, Manchester United, Brighton and Stoke in the preceding rounds.
His side claimed a victory over rivals Everton in the semi-final, but fell to a defeat to Chelsea in the final. In spite of all of this however, Dalglish's first full season back in charge of Liverpool was arguably overshadowed by a race row that engulfed the club over the winter period.
Suarez maintained his innocence and received the unwaivering support of Dalglish. Although most observers were critical of Dalglish and Liverpool's handling of the case- in particular their very public support of Suarez, Dalglish came under particularly heavy fire from the press when, after Suarez had served a ban, he refused a handshake with Evra in one of his first games back in the side, which was away to United on 11 February This was widely condemned, however Dalglish initially came out fighting, exclaiming to one journalist "I think you're bang out of order to blame Luis Suarez for anything that happened here today.
It was believed he was there to evaluate with them the season that had just passed and discuss the reasons behind the team's poor League campaign. It was also thought that Dalglish had effectively issued a 'back me or sack me' ultimatum to the owners.
On 15 May , with Dalglish returning from the brief meeting, speculation was rife that he was no longer Liverpool manager- this being fuelled by Liverpool's refusal to comment on the matter. The speculation died down however the next day, it was confirmed that FSG had terminated Dalglish's contract.
