• Dalglish: 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart'
• Jamie Carragher says Liverpool must focus on fourth place
Kenny Dalglish has expressed his gratitude to Liverpool fans for their show of support, 24 hours after his dismissal as manager. The 61-year-old Anfield legend returned for a second spell as interim manager after the sacking of Roy Hodgson in January 2011, but his first full season back in charge failed to live up to expectations despite winning the Carling Cup.
In a message on Twitter on Thursday night, the Scot wrote: "Overwhelmed by the support of the fans. Always been special but even more so now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. YNWA (You'll Never Walk Alone) and I never have."
Meanwhile, the Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes the Reds must forget about mounting a title challenge in the near future and focus instead on getting back into the top four of the Premier League. "We have got a trophy and we got to a cup final, so in the domestic cup competitions we have had a fantastic season, but in the league we all know it was a disappointment," he said.
"We all realise now the Champions League is very important. It's the place to be seen and we are not there. Liverpool fans probably don't want to hear it, but it is an achievement getting into the top four. It is different to what it was a long time ago.
"I have been in the team 15 years and we have only challenged for the title a couple of times, which is obviously not what we would like and not good enough for us. At the moment I don't think the title is in everyone's mind, I think top four first." Read More
