I was reading Ian Snodin's book 'Snod this for a laugh' and in it he talks about how he made the desicion to sign for Everton or Liverpool. He mentions how he rang Kendall from Billy Bremner's office and told him he wanted to sign for Everton, afterwards, despite Snodin not really wanting to, he rang Dalglish to tell him he had made his mind up and Dalglish couldn't believe it and offered him 3x the money he would recieve at Everton, obviously Ian stuck with us.

Then i recalled Dalglishes transfers in his latest reigns and laughed to myself at how nothings changed at that club.
 
Isn't this what happened last time? Didn't Kenny come in above Hodgson? And then was offered this role before being sacked?

Theres a good one in Roy Keanes book about him nearly signing for Blackburn when Dalglish was manager

Jack Walker was trying to buy Blackburn success, something he would later go on to achieve, and Kenny Dalglish identified Keane as the man to take the club forward in 1993. Initially speaking to the player whilst under contract and behind the back of his club, Blackburn beat off interest from Arsenal, and went on to have a bid of £4m accepted.

It was Friday afternoon, Dalglish wanted the paperwork on the deal to go through, but there was no one still around in the Ewood Park offices so Keane couldn’t sign. No big deal, thought the Scot, it will wait until Monday.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson had just helped Manchester United win their first title in 26 years and was looking to take the team forward. Captain Bryan Robson was on his last legs and we would need someone else to fight our battles in the centre of the park. Why Fergie hadn’t spotted Keane before then is a puzzle but the manager got him on the phone on Sunday lunch time.

After establishing that nothing had been signed with Blackburn, Ferguson invited Keane to Manchester. The manager met Roy at the airport and drove him to his house where they played a game of snooker.

“I liked him straight away,â€￾ said Roy. “For a man managing Manchester United, he was unaffected, funny and reassuringly human. He was also clearly hungry for more trophies. There were a few obstacles to overcome before a deal could be done. We agreed that I would tell Dalglish our deal was off.â€￾

Unsurprisingly, King Kenny wasn’t too pleased to hear that Sir Alex had snatched his star man from under his nose. In his autobiography, Keane reflected on that conversation:

“What the **** do you mean? We shook hands on a deal. You can’t back out now.â€￾

“Look, I’m sorry, I really am,â€￾ I told him, “but I’ve got my future to think about, I’m entitled to that.â€￾

“You’re entitled to nothing except the commitment you made to me on Friday.â€￾

“I’m sorry, if you’d had the forms ready, I would have signed on Friday.â€￾

“Nobody does this to me, nobody does this to Kenny Dalglish. You’re a wee [Poor language removed] and you won’t get away with this.â€￾ Kenny wasn’t cool any longer.

“You won’t get away with this,â€￾ he began. “Blackburn Rovers will sue you for every penny you’ve got.â€￾ He and Ferguson had never got on and this more than anything appeared to be bugging him. He called me names. He repeated that nobody “****edâ€￾ with Kenny Dalglish and “got away with itâ€￾. I told him I was going on holiday and that the matter was closed as far as I was concerned.
 
Liverpool table a bid of £12.2m for Fenerbahce striker Moussa Sow according to Turkish newspaper Fanatik Gazetesi.

The former Lille forward has scored 18 goals in 41 games in Turkey.

so much for that £5m budget they had. not too sure why they're buying more strikers with bad strike rates - suarez has only started scoring this season - imagine if that is a one off
