Any reports until then are purely speculation.'[LNB]Although Dalglish would have the backing of the fans and players were he to be given the job, Henry and Werner appear determined to take a measured approach to such a crucial appointment.[LNB]There remains the possibility that the club's owners could opt for a young European manager to complement the appointment of Damien Comolli as director of football strategy.[LNB] Flying high: Dalglish guided Liverpool to a stunning win over Manchester United[LNB]Jurgen Klopp of Borussia Dortmund, Porto's Andre Villas-Boas and Didier Deschamps of Marseille were all mentioned in connection with the Anfield hotseat before Dalglish took charge.[LNB]The Scot's success since being recruited as a fire-fighter has changed the dynamic, however.
