Come home Kenny (Carradona I am sorry)

[ScottyT]

Irrelevant.

 

Under the current regime I'm fairly sure no manager will be able to come in here and build the club up again, build a legacy.

 

The best we can hope for is that Rafa lasts longer than the Twats and then if we're still not looking like genuine challengers, consider the alternatives.

 

The regime seems good enough to beat the likes of Madrid.

[RobbieOR]

More than Sammy Lee could learn from filling the squad full of foreign shite who don't deserve to be at the club despite having millions spent on them.

 

Whoever I suggest is better than this fucking conman we have at the helm right now.

 

Funny I seem to remember Kenny winning three league titles in five years and two FA Cups and top of the league when he left. What did Keegan ever win at Newcastle?????

 

Benitez packs the side full of shite like NGog, Elzhar, Lucas, etc etc etc etc etc etc

 

Look at kendell at Everton. Won league titles left came back and nearly got them relegated!

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

I can't believe anyone is suggesting bring King Kenny in as manager.

 

It would be fucking madness.

Why would it like?

 

We're not exactly storming the league under Benitez are we?

 

Everyone is so quick these days to laud these supposed superior foriegn managers and look down their nose at a more simple approach.

[05 Milan]

We exist to win trophies, not play fotball that's pleasing on the eye.

Often (not always), they go hand in hand. Especially over 38 games.

 

Anyway, if we offered Kenny the job and he thought he could do the job, I'd trust his judgement.

[Juan Galonso]

We're doing neither at the moment are we. If we can't win trophies then a pleasing on the eye Liverpool is all I want.

Because he hasn't done anything footy related in the past decade.

 

It would be a bad move.

 

I want Rafa gone, but in the summer.

That is true. But our primary aim should always be to win, nothing else. I'd hate for us to become like Arsenal-fans.

When Kenny took over, he inherited a side that had reached the European Cup final - that were Champions the season before, plus the fact that Bob was his right hand man, had a lot to do with the '86 double. His best signing was John Barnes - and Bob played as big a part as anybody in getting Barnes to Anfield. Kenny changed the style of play and we got one great season out of it (1987/1988), one half a great season (second half of 1988/89 when we went on a superb run prior to Hillsborough), and one good season

(1989/1990). Even though he left when we were top of the league, the defence was fucked and the Goalkeeper needed replacing, Rush was a shadow of his pre-Juventus self and Aldridge had been offloaded - things were going downhill, and even Ronnie Moran, the bootroom stalwart, couldn't keep us in top spot.

 

At Blackburn, where there were no standards to live up to, and an unlimted mountain of cash, he basically bought his way to success, ala Abramovich - he definitely wouldn't get that here.

I'm not trying to be funny here, I'm genuinely interested. Does anyone have how much Kenny spent at Blackburn compared to us and United at the same time? You might be right, I'm just curious.

I think there is some merit in that but, I expect our players to be capable of the basics, such as controlling a ball and passing it 5 yards to a team mate. If you were around in the late 80’s you’d remember the tremendous amount of stick the likes of Wimbledon and similar ale-house teams got – a lot from our own fans, but they’d respond with something like: 'we’re only playing to our own strengths and making the most of our meagre resources’. There has got to be something that sets us apart from dross like that. I’m not advocating a gung-ho we’ll-concede-3-but-we’ll-score-4 90’s style Newcastle approach, or art-for-arts-sake Arsenal bollocks, but something more like our mid 80’s heritage, so to speak, that combined discipline and technique with fundamental football ability.

It's all a load of bollocks. He had no more to spend than us or the mancs, he just bought the right players. These mongs forget that it takes more than money to build a title winning team, see Benitez.

 

The fact that he failed at Newcastle means fuck all. It's a manager's graveyard that place.

Exactly, it pains me to say it but you're also describing United now to a tee.

I think you are forgetting the old rule you should never go back. Look at Keegan at Newcastle, Kendall at Everton they have all failed. The only one off the top of my head that hasn't failed going back is Redknapp.

 

We need a wholesale change at the club a change in everything not some blast from the past. Kenny should be remembered for the things he done the great things. Souness was regarded as one of the greatest players ever at Liverpool but when he came in as manager he was hated and everybody seems to forget he played for us.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

A lot of that team today need to ask themselves some serious questions after today, as well as the rest of the staff.

 

Kenny should be an ambassador for the club not it's manager.

 

I expected nothing other than a loss today after yet another crazy week.

 

Number 6 is coming home this year as opposed to Number 19. Would rather league but would still take second and the Champions League as a consolation prize.

He inherited a side that finished miles behind Everton in 84-85. Had the shame of Heysel to contend with and no European football. ageing full backs in Kennedy and Neal, no replacement brought in for Souness, he put his own stamp on the double side of 85-86 with his first signing in McMahon who was exactly the type of player we needed.

 

He spent the Rush money wisely on the holy trinity of Barnes, Beardsley and Aldridge. Won the league title in style after another great Everton season in 86-87. Came within a whisker of another double in 87-88 and a last kick of the season in 88-89. He had an ageing Hansen who got a terrible injury in the pre-season of 88-89.

 

To give Bob the credit for signing Barnes without any proof is just wrong.

 

He did a fantastic job for Blackburn against a great United team at the time.

Wish I could rep you again. Brilliant again.

We'll get neither.

[Faustus]

I'd have Rijkaard in personally.

If Souness hadn'tve gone to the Sun he would have been cut a lot more slack than he was given. He was doomed to failure after that as he never had the backing of the fans. People would have given him a lot more time only for the Loverpool thing after his heart bypass. I think he would have been given longer as manager if Loverpool hadnt happened,

[RedKnight]

I really don't think Rijkaard is what we need.

[zigackly]

I'd have Rijkaard in personally.

 

You need someone to back Rijkaard up tactically. His success came with Ten Cate working under him, and he was fairly ordinary without him.

[Original202]

Kenny would be a great short term solution. It'd give everyone a lift but I've no idea where we turn for the long term.

[RedKnight]

Yeah I'd agree with that. I'm not sure that Kenny long term is any type of solution, I'd love nothing more than to be proved wrong though.
