Following Liverpool's 2-0 away win against Sunderland, owner John Henry and Kenny Dalglish exchanged praises, but discounted rumors regarding a new contract for the interim manager.
"He has done very well," Henry told the Daily Mirror. "It's all very positive. Someone was saying that people weren't happy here, but I think since that person left people are happier."
Despite the turnaround, however, Henry doesn't want to make the decision regarding Dalglish's future public, as that would be a violation of "the Liverpool way."
"What is going on in that regard is private. It is something called the Liverpool way and you do these things behind closed doors. I am not going to talk about these things."
"We will have to have a lot of days like [the victory at Sunderland] to do that," he said. "Tottenham are in fifth and they look very good so we will have to play extraordinarily well, and we will have to win when they come to Anfield to have a shot at that, but we will do our best."
Dalglish too dismissed the contract speculation, laughing off the rumors that had been floated in recent weeks.
"I have seen I have asked for four years," Dalglish said. "Well, I don't know who I am supposed to have asked. I have seen I was offered two – don't know where that has come from.
"People ask if I have spoken to the owners and of course I have. I speak to them regularly every week. It is their club, and they are fantastic owners, very supportive. There have been no detailed discussions about next season.
"Until there is something to be said, there is nothing. For me that is not a problem. For me, the club is most important, bar one instance when I left the club last time. There is no pressure on anyone."
