Dalglish never "left" football though. He hadn't held the position of manager for 10 years, sure, but he was still actively involved in the game i.e. more than just a pundit etc. That's why taking charge had such an immediate reaction. If it was all 'feel-good factor' that was needed, Shearer might have kept Newcastle up.
There was no feel-good factor when Shearer joined us. It was a desperate move to get the fans on-side with 8 games left and we were in the relegation zone.
