Premiership: Fowler sale could backfire - Dalglish

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish today claimed he was saddened by Robbie Fowler’s £11m departure from Anfield but he urged fans not to blame the club for the loss of one of their heroes.

Dalglish, who formed one half of a formidable strike partnership with Liverpool’s greatest goalscorer Ian Rush, admitted he was not surprised by Fowler’s decision to leave but he was ‘‘shocked’’ by the club allowing the striker to move to one of their biggest rivals.
