Has Dalglish damaged Liverpool Football Club more than Souness?

Finally, the honeymoon period for King Klan Kenny is over ... as more and more sensible, knowledgable Liverpool fans, and not that rabble from RAWK, begin to understand the damage KKK has inflicted upon his former alma mater ... perhaps even more damage to Liverpool Football Club that what Graeme Souness was supposed to have inflicted when he was manager (though I think that is extremely harsh on Souness's tenure as its just then when SAF cracked his magic secret and formula).
King Klan Kenny is indisputably an icon for Liverpool Football Club and indeed the English Football League. He has earned in place in footballing history and should be revered for it. But in the last stages of his career, he let his own ego get in the way of the best interests of Liverpool Football Club.
Perhaps, in hindsight, Hodegson was not the right person to take over from Benitez, but from the influential pheriphery seat at the club that he had KKK had a single minded ambition which was to be reappointed manager of the club he loves and this made Hodegson's job impossible.
Nothing wrong in that ... if you are skilled enough, relevant enough and able enough to deliver the transformations that you promised, and based on previous equity, managed to convince the owners and fans that you were capable of doing so. But having boosted the coffers after the sale of Torres (a correct decision IMO), his acquisitions of Carroll, Downing, Henderson and Bellamy have proven to be as disastrous as his strategy during the entire Suarez/Evra disgrace.
King Klan Kenny is totally the wrong person to reinvent one of the former powerhouses in world football. He is too old, he does not have a vision of where football is heading and his EQ skills in this current assignment have been appalling.
It will be messy, but FSW have to part ways with him this summer and get in a new guy and back him to the hilt. I would think that AVB, ex Chavski, would be a brilliant coup if they could get him and give him the security of an unshakable 5 year contract. Liverpool needs to reinvent itself and in doing so, stop harping on about achievements in the past. None in the current playing staff and most of their fans have nothing to do with that illustrious past ... its been 20 years!!! And hiring icons from the past will not bring them up to speed with the kind of players, skills, nuances and tactics that a modern day football team needs to be successful.
From the POV of a Manchester United fan who suffered greatly during the 1980's because we were inconsistent and mainly crap, its comedy gold value, and I hope their demise continues for many years to come. But from a lover of English football, the PL would benefit from a strong Liverpool .... and still beating them to win the PL year in year out (as opposed to the Chavs or shitty) would be far more satisfying. Thats my single regret of SAFs incredible era of dominance, he not only knocked Liverpool off their perch, he pretty much wiped them into oblivion!
