The Return of King Kenny

Kenny Dalglish's acceptance of returning to the club as a caretaker of the Academy and as an Ambassador is wonderful news indeed. Many fans around the world would have surely asked themselves throughout the years of when this legend would be coming back home.

His return marks yet again another of the continuity of the Rafalution. Dalglish, as a former player and manager of the wonderful era of LFC, would be able to contribute for a brighter future of the club as a whole. And who knows, maybe even replace Benitez should it be needed one day.

His remarks after the confirmation, "For the boss to put his trust in me is a great compliment and I am coming back as a very lucky person. When you leave a club you don't often have a chance to return, so I am fortunate for being given such a fantastic opportunity", shows how down to earth the legend is. Maybe the fans in this part of the world would soon get to meet him in person if his ambassadorial post were to include Malaysia as a potential market.

Kenny's return definitely overshadows the latest hot topic of Michael Owen becoming a scum. I guess many fans have still not forgiven him for leaving LFC for 'greener pastures' when we needed him the most. And also for not giving LFC an opportunity to get a decent compensation of his worth when he left for a paltry transfer sum.

Because of that, it is easier for these fans to swallow the fact that Owen is now a scum. Would Dalglish or Fowler have done the same unthinkable thing Owen have done? I would like to think not just because these players have LFC close to their heart and would never think of walking alone.
