Former Liverpool captain Alan Hansen wants to see Kenny Dalglish handed the manager's job long-term.
Hansen believes anyother other candidate would be a move backwards for the club's owners.
He wrote in his column for the Telegraph: "If you had taken a poll of 100 Liverpool supporters last Christmas and offered them a choice of Kenny or Jose Mourinho to succeed Roy Hodgson, Kenny's standing at the club would have ensured he would probably have won by 75-25.
"But the same vote now would see him win 100-nil because of the impact he has had at Anfield since returning in January.
"Any manager other than Kenny would now be a disappointment for the club's supporters, but that's because of the turnaround on the pitch during his two months in charge, rather than his status as a god-like figure at Anfield."
