Kenny signs a 3 year deal.

Onwards and upwards then.
If there's anyone left who requires a measure of Kenny Dalglish's popularity with supporters of Liverpool Football Club, consider this. Had the board unveiled their new permanent manager, and that man was José Mourinho, or perchance Pep Guardiola, the appointment would have been greeted with cries of bitter disappointment, if not a nuclear blast of outright hostility. Roy Hodgson keeps some exalted company.
Dalglish's appointment as permanent manager of Liverpool on a three-year contract was as near to a no-brainer as decisions come. It could only have been Dalglish.
Even for a man who won three titles during his first stint in charge of the club, plus another at Blackburn Rovers, his performance since taking over from the hapless Hodgson in early January has been a revelation.
In stark statistical terms, Liverpool's form since the Second Coming of Kenny makes fine reading for a team that found themselves in the relegation zone during the opening exchanges of the season. Over those 16 Premier League games they are second in the league form table, behind only Chelsea. They have the best goal difference in the division. No team have scored as many goals (they have 35 to Chelsea's 31 and champions-elect Manchester United's 30) while only Chelsea have conceded fewer (though Liverpool have eight clean sheets, the best record in the division, to Chelsea's six). During this period, Liverpool have scored in every single league game, a record no other club can boast.
