Kenny Dalglish is ready to leave Liverpool.
The Independent says Dalglish is understood to be ready
to quit Liverpool if the
Fulham manager Roy Hodgson
succeeds Rafael Benitez.
The Anfield club have insisted that Dalglish's role in leading
the search for the Spaniard's replacement with managing director
Christian Purslow precludes him from being considered for his
second stint in charge.
But the former striker clearly covets the managerial position
and is so averse to the idea of Hodgson being appointed that he has
informed the board that he cannot support their preferred
candidate.
Dalglish believes he is best placed to lead Liverpool through a difficult period, when they
lack the funds to match the bigger spending Premier League clubs
and are seeking a new buyer.
The Scot returned to Anfield last year in a role which included
responsibility for the club's academy and general ambassadorial
duties.
His departure would be a personal blow to Purslow, having formed
a close link with the managing director.
