| Summary: | Kenny Dalglish and John Barnes were presented to the media, who numbered almost as many as the fans, and none of those among the professional observer corps could have failed to be impressed by the utterances of the happy couple. Totally free of bombast or bravado, but with self-assurance and humour, Dalglish and Barnes slipped into the roles of director of football operations and head coach respectively in a way that would encourage the club's anxious followers to believe that the good times may once again be ready to roll. In often vibrant, trenchant language, Dalglish and Barnes revealed their ideals and their objectives, imparting the impression that the combination of the former's experience and the latter's freshness - because Barnes clearly has the irrepressible enthusiasm of the newcomer he is to team management - could work. |
