Hysen backs Kenny

Glen Hysen says Kenny Dalglish should be the next Liverpool manager. Hysen, who played under Dalglish for the 1990 title winning side, believes the King is the perfect man to succeed Rafael Benitez as Reds boss. "I remain in touch regularly with the staff and a number of players at Liverpool and I can tell there is no doubt that Kenny would love to make an emotional return as manager," said the Swede. "In my eyes Kenny is the man for the role, on a temporary basis or for longer. "Forget that he has been out of management for a while. "The fact is that Liverpool is in a mess. It needs it heart and soul back – and Kenny is the man to rediscover it. "I have been in the players' lounge after matches in recent times and witnessed Spanish players in one corner, French players in another, and so on. It is not cosy. "It used to be that when you played for Liverpool, you were all part of one big family; not any more, it seems. "There are too many nationalities in the dressing room now. "I say this as a former overseas player, of course. But foreign players tend not to know the story of the club or how a fan feels if we lose to Everton. "When I played for Liverpool, we had many more British players in the team than today. "The likes of Ian Rush and Steve McMahon knew the pain and the glory and what it all meant to the club. They felt it much more than I ever could. "Kenny has a special aura around him and carries huge respect from the players. "I'm sure he would be able to keep the likes of Gerrard and Torres at the club. "But Kenny is not a magician, he would still need to sign three very good players for the first team – and for that he would need money."
