King Kenny may stay on Anfield throne

NEW Liverpool caretaker manager Kenny Dalglish will be a candidate for the post on a permanent basis.

Director of football strategy Damien Comolli yesterday admitted the possibility of the 59-year-old Scot, brought in on Saturday to take charge until the summer after the departure of Roy Hodgson, being made permanent boss had not been ruled out.

Dalglish insists he wants to help in any way he can, although his assertion that he will happily give way to a superior contender puts the pressure on the club’s owners New England Sports Ventures to find a top-class replacement if his short stint in charge turns out to be a success.
