Henry coy over Dalglish's future

Liverpool owner John W. Henry remained coy over Kenny Dalglish's long-term future as Reds manager after a controversial 2-0 win against Sunderland.

A rare public utterance from the billionaire Anfield owner failed to shed much light on the state of play, as did the latest update by the taciturn Dalglish following the comfortable victory at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.

However, after an impressive run of 20 points from Dalglish's 10 games in charge rekindled hope of European qualification, it's a reasonable assumption the 60-year-old's future at the helm is likely to last beyond his current agreement until the end of the season.
