Mourinho because we could then use Kenny later on after mourinho moves on on like we did with woy.

kenny mourinho can go to scum and get his ass kick just like funguson did 3-1 baby yahhhhh

What makes you think we won't win anything with Kenny?

Can't believe this debate at this stage of the season! Kenny is the obvious choice. Give him a couple of seasons to rebuild and then presume to judge him...on his performance...for God's sake!

While I agree with your desire to avoid sentimentality, Rafarendum, I have to think that you're painting Kenny's potential second career rather too black. (I'm merging replies from the other thread where you wax lyrical about doctors - it's late and I don't want to write it twice) I for one am on the side of the fence that says, "We needed Kenny to sort out our off-the-pitch problems more than we needed a manager to bring home the title". Now that this issue has been dealt with, the next phase is to rebuild the squad, replace the cracked facade rather than continuing to paper over it. For me, this is not a job that Mourinho excels at without funds, Porto aside. His ego won't allow him to take over the LFC job that Rafa inherited, for eg, so he certainly won't be steeping into Kenny's shoes. Frankly, I think that Kenny, Steve Clark, and Commolli are sufficient for this task, so a 2 year contract for Kenny should be a foregone conclusion. That Kenny has had some measure of success with this side (outwitting both Ancelotti and Whisky Nose within a matter of weeks) suggests that he might just be up for this tactically as well, though perhaps we read too little in Steve Clark's contribution here?

The truth is that right now we need a talisman more than a leader, but the time for a leader will come soon enough. I'd say let's give Kenny the chance to prove himself in this regard, especially since he will likely need to find Gerrard's replacement as captain along the way.

Winning is always important, as it will show whether our efforts at rebuilding are being successful, but as a club we are some way off the upper echelons of both this league and the CL so expecting miracles from any manager at this stage is futile. We need pride in the shirt, we need the grit to win the tough matches and the skill to win the high profile ones against our rivals. I think Kenny's charisma alone will get us most of the way there, but while the doubts remain about his ability to win tough matches on the road (especially in Europe) I don't think we should or even can say a choice for Kenny is a choice where winning is not important. In this stint at the helm he has continued his 50% win ratio, and that speaks louder than words.

I thought ud calmed down a bit since hodgson was shown to be the failure everyone else knew hed be at liverpool. But you've stopped taking your meds again havn't you...or perhaps too many of them?

Who are these better managers that will be queueing up outside Anfield?

Tbh I wish rafa had these owners when he started

you imply having Kenny means we win nothing but having the not so special one means we win everything,no one knows what were going to win no matter who the manager is, the proof is in the pudding but the not so special one is up his own botty, i for one do not want a manager who thinks hes bigger than the club and the fans,he hasnt got the bottle to take on this club and definatley not the fans,incase his big ego loses.

As managers Kenny and Mourinho are the sample. They have both managed at top levels and won trophie at them, both are winners at the battle of wits, and both are tactical masterminds. Howeever the contrast so to speak is Mouriniho approach to football is efficent and defensive. However Kenny loves the pass and move tactic that has been in the soul of liverpool football club. So its either win playing attractive football or win efficently.
