Long time readers (ha!) might know that I wrote a post last night asking for us to trust FSG in their search for a new manager, and to give them time. As it turns out, no more time was needed.
I woke up this morning to the news that Roy Hodgson had left the club by mutual consent, and club legend Kenny Dalglish had been given the caretaker manager's role until the end of the season. I was one of the many Liverpool fans who believed that Dalglish would be the ideal candidate to succeed Hodgson, so as you can imagine I was delighted with this news.
Many others shared similar feelings, with Twitter going into meltdown and forums exploding with activity and discussion. One thing was for sure - this decision by FSG had united the fans, and filled everyone with a feeling of optimism about what the future could hold for LFC.
Kenny will take charge of his first game tomorrow, against long-term rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup third round. In my view, this could be just the lift that the team need going into a huge game like this - it was painfully clear that confidence was low within the team recently, and if anyone can come in and inspire them, it's Dalglish.
I can say with certainty that tomorrow's game has now got even more interesting than it already was. In approximately 14 and a half hours, the first match of the return of the Dalglish era will be underway. And I, for one, cannot wait. The return of the King is upon us.
