Dalglish cool on Liverpool

Will Dalglish give up the golf for a return to Liverpool?

Former Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has revealed that he would not make the first move to go back to the club.

The Scot has been linked with a return to the Anfield set-up following Gerard Houllier's departure after six years in charge of the club.

But Dalglish said he did not want to get involved in a war of words, while not ruling out a return to management.

"I have not spoken to anyone at the club," he said on Friday. "I'm not going to prostitute myself for a job."

Dalglish, a star of Liverpool's glory years in the 1970s and 1980s, managed Liverpool at the end of his playing days.

Since quitting that job 13 years ago he has held management roles at Blackburn, Newcastle and Celtic.

"I wouldn't rule a return to management in or out because I've not been asked," he said.

"If I was asked then whoever asked me would get an answer."
