Comolli added: 'It is open to people that we think fit into what I have described and Kenny will come into that category.[LNB]'There will be a thorough search of what we want to do, where we want to get to and we will speak to Kenny about it and we'll see where it takes us.'[LNB]Dalglish was asked about his understanding of his current role in charge and said: 'There's no conditions, promises, there's nothing.[LNB]'I've come back to work at a club that myself and family are eternally grateful for many things that they've done for us and when I was asked to do it, there was no way I was going to be disrespectful and say no.[LNB]'If I can get to the end of the season, I'll probably end up being one of the longest serving managers in the Premiership![LNB]'The objective is to gain as many victories as we possibly can. All I can promise is my very best and if it's good enough then we'll have more happier days than sad days.'
