Dalglish keen to earn Reds' respect

11 January 2011 16:00
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish will employ the personal touch to impart his vast experience to the players and spark the necessary revival at Anfield. The 59-year-old won eight first division championships - three as manager - with the Reds and also a Premier League title while boss at Blackburn. And he believes concentrating on the staff he has rather than looking for quick-fix transfers, together with plenty of hard work, will restore Liverpool's fortunes after a difficult six months under Roy Hodgson. "I think it is the best squad of players I have inherited as a manager since the first time I came here," said Dalglish, who also managed at Newcastle and Celtic. "We don't have much time to get things up and running so the most important people for us are the people here and we will concentrate on them first and everyone will be given an opportunity. "As far as I can see, the players are 100% committed to what they want to do - to move onwards and upwards. There are no splits or divisions."
