These managers with "webs of contacts" throughout Europe never actually deliver. Wenger is the only example of someone who has been successful at picking up near unknowns and turning them into world class talent, most others, like our own manager, makes mistake after mistake with these unproven players.
If Kenny came back, why would he need all these contacts anyway. He'd be the manager of LFC, surely any up and coming talent would be offered to us anyway? I think it's more about being a good judge of talent than scouring europe looking for little known players these days, especially at bigger clubs.
