"I am absolutely delighted to get back into football with Livingston"
About this Quote
The specific intent is clear: set a tone. “Get back into football” frames his move as a homecoming rather than a career maneuver. It sidesteps messy questions about ambition, hierarchy, or why this role and why now. “With Livingston” grounds the statement in club loyalty and community scale. Livingston isn’t a glamour brand; that’s the point. The phrase signals humility and service, a veteran lending credibility to a smaller institution, which plays well in a sport that’s increasingly anxious about money and distance from local identity.
The subtext is reputation management, too. Big names re-entering football can trigger suspicion: ego projects, PR tours, soft landings. Dalglish preempts that by leaning into uncomplicated joy. The sentence is short, clean, and emotionally legible. It’s built to travel: headline-friendly, hard to argue with, and warm enough to make the comeback feel like continuity rather than a disruption.
