Kenny Dalglish has hinted that Sir Alex Ferguson should be the next England manager, as he has the best record in the Premier League.
The rumour-mill has gone into overdrive since Fabio Capello's resignation earlier this week and, with the Liverpool manager set to meet his fellow Glaswegian at Old Trafford this weekend, he seemed to suggest Sir Alex was the man for the job.
Dalglish told reporters: "England are on the look-out for another one and if you are looking for a manager I think you look for the one with the best record, since the Premier League started, of looking after English-British players and the success they have had.

Dalglish told reporters: "England are on the look-out for another one and if you are looking for a manager I think you look for the one with the best record, since the Premier League started, of looking after English-British players and the success they have had.
"If I was in their position I'd be looking at the best one and if it's not available then start going down from there.
"Whether they want someone of their own nationality or the want the best it's up to them."
When asked about Sir Alex Ferguson securing Manchester United's 20th league title last season and the Scot's quest to set a new record this season, Dalglish replied: "I never knew that figure."Dalglish also confirmed he was not referring to many people's favourite for the job Harry Redknapp but did admit: "Harry would be fantastic."
When asked if he was talking about his Manchester United counterpart, Dalglish cheekily retorted: "I never said that."
