Yes CareeX I know that was the target set but pragmatism comes into play here we are where we are and we need to do whats best from the positon as at now. The decision is do the cups demonstrate there is scope for progress or is it a one of situation covering up for fundamental lack of managerial ability. I know what I think but I am not them.

But this is the issue, his players have not suited our strategy and system, and Kenny chose them. With better players anyone manager will do better, but can Kenny chose 'better' players that fit a system? On last years evidence. No.

bigred, even I have my doubts over Kenny's purchases sadly. I think this is one of his biggest downfalls. Transfers will no doubt need to improve if he needs to be more successful.

WHAT?!?!? Have you even read what I posted?? And you tell ME to think before I speak.

You insinuated that a new manager would fair better. Where did I say kenny would tell fsg tht someone else would do no better? You made that up not me.

I think if kenny stays, this time around he will buy players that he can fit into the system he wants.

WHATEVER THAT SYSTEM IS

If that system wins, does it matter what it is?

Not a jot. I'm hoping Kenny takes heed of the win ratio playing 2 up front rather than opting for the one up front system. If he is to stay, kenny could really do with ending on a high and some wins. That way we can take a bit of momentum and optimism through the summer to the beginning of the new season. If he stays because another trophy but remains poor in the league, I think it could be a bit of a nervous grey cloud of the club over summer. Not the greatest for moral.

Have to disagree with that, I think he should be removed as soon as the season finishes.
No matter wether we win two trophies or not, the League campagn has proved them to be hollow, you cant seriously keep a manager who has spent over 100 million pound and is going to finish about 15 points behind a Newcastle team he raided for there two best players.
The owners were fair with Dalglish when they gave him the job, they provided him with unlimited funds, allowed him to bring in his own backroom staff and gave him full control all they asked in return was Champions League football, now considering our main rivals had European commitments and Chelsea and Arsenal our two main rivals have had the worst seasons in memory I dont think that was an unrealistic ask. We now find ourselves further away from Champions League than ever, behind Everton of all Clubs who have spent nothing and worst of the lot nothing to hold onto as in things will be better next season, if anything given our form since January we are real relegation material.

Dont let the cups paper over the cracks. look at brum last year lads
