Oh I see, Well all of us seem to like Villas Boas but I don't know it could be a risk. Its a new league for him but I would definately give Kenny a one year extension and let him have a full season and see how he goes, I am sure that kenny will not let us down winning atleast a trophy or coming close. Villas Boas can come after kenny.

Thats fine house but personally I would definately give the king a chance with a new fresh season with hopefully some quality signings if we did end up spending in the summer.

I'm a bit wary of Rangnick, these days. Schalke have been poor in the Bundesliga this season.

Rafa - no. Maybe in another life.

Villas Boas has an astonishing record as a manager, and he's very young. It would be a risk bringing him into a different league with far more rivals than just Benfica, but I think that if we retain Steve Clark and Kenny it won't be a problem.

Personally, I'd sack Sammy Lee, have Kenny as assistant manager, and put Villa Boas as the manager. If Kenny is not given a new contract in the summer, whoever takes over from him will have greater pressure than Hodgson, so I think it would be important for the club to keep Kenny on board in a managerial/advisory context to show that we're planning for the short and long term. That way VB would have all of Kenny's experience in playing and managing in this league on hand, but with the power of freedom for his more youthful instincts (which seem sound given how he revitalized both Acedemica and Porto).

if we dont go with kenny then we should cut all ties with him, having him in any position just puts more pressure on the manager. tbh if i was the owner id ask kenny not to be at anfield until the new manager was a success, and the fans liked him

Fair point, though I suspect that keeping Kenny as part of the initial setup works for the new manager in two ways:
1. there isn't the feeling that Kenny is being "ousted" (the way the Hodgson appointment felt)
2. we don't lose Kenny's experience in the league - he needs to be part of the boot room

Can't see that working I'm afraid. All the players seem to really like Kenny as manager, it will be too convoluted in there with essentially two managers. No organization can work with that set up.
