@T-V @mikec please tell me what legacy Dalglish has left behind, serious question.
As for Cruijff being indebted to Michels, not quite, it was Johan that was pushing Michels to be more expensive. It was Cruijjf that wanted Jongbloed in goal.
I wouldn't call trophies a legacy (see Mourinho), what Dalglish did was be part of a well assembled team and than assembled one as a manager. He didn't restructure clubs from the bottom up and played a different way to anyone else. Credit where credit is due, the man has won trophies.
Cruijff had more talent and vision in his toenails than Dalglish ever did.
You don't build legacies on trophies, you build them on foundations to be as successful as you can be. English football isn't great at laying foundations, they much rather buy the finished product and get instant satisfaction, much like a drug addict.
