They are facts, but facts with a considerable slant on them.
The second half of last season is placebo until proven otherwise as far as I'm concerned. A new manager boost when you have very little left to play for is routine.
And I'm not questioning Dalglish's knowledge of football, I'm questioning his level of knowledge of football management. Now. I do not believe a manager can simply walk back in after a decade and so thoroughly outclass someone like Roy Hodgson, who is actually a good manager (whatever you might think), without there being other factors affecting it. Sorry.
