Mixed feelings for Holloway

11 January 2011 16:30
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway is looking forward to taking on "living legend" Kenny Dalglish tomorrow but is saddened by the circumstances surrounding his Liverpool return. Dalglish was reinstalled as Liverpool manager on Saturday - almost 20 years after his first spell in charge at Anfield ended - following the departure of Roy Hodgson. Holloway is in awe of Dalglish for his achievements as a player and a manager but feels Liverpool should have given Hodgson longer to turn their season around. Hodgson held the post for just six months but paid the price for a poor start to the campaign, which sees them 12th in the Barclays Premier League ahead of tomorrow's trip to Bloomfield Road. Holloway said: "Good luck to Kenny Dalglish, he is a wonderful fella. "The man is a living legend, he is someone I have admired from afar and for a long while."
