http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/f...-lead-chase-avbInteresting. Just a quick question, aimed at everyone, especially those who want Dalglish to go. If he did go, let's say walked away or was "relieved of his duties" (in other words, sacked) would Villas-Boas be someone you'd bring in? If not, who would you bring in and why would you bring them in?

If not, who would you bring in and why would you bring them in? The way you are asking the question makes me think that you are suggesting there are very few people up to kenny's standard that would be available. There are a lot of people, in the premiership alone, that would probably do a much MUCH better job than kenny has done so far. You only have to look at the likes of swansea, stoke, newcastle, norwich, fulham, west brom, sunderland etc......they are all very close to us this season (at least as close to us as we are to 4th place!) but with much smaller clubs, lower stature, much smaller budget, a less established squad, less experienced players......I find it amazing how anyone can even think that kenny is doing anything other than an abysmal job! If he's doing well, how are the above mentioned managers doing?? These managers are within spitting distance of us and have succeeded with nowhere near the resources that we have. I hope Kenny isn't sacked - I hope he walks away in shame after admitting he is out if his depth.

I hope Kenny isn't sacked - I hope he walks away in shame after admitting he is out if his depth.  Hate to blow the Kenny trumpet for you again, but we've played some of the best football in years. Defensively we're strong to, we just don't put away the gazillions of chances we have in a game. Which is a worry, but It's not a case of the players not playing for the manager is it? Because we wouldn't be playing the good football for one? I can only put it down to a combination of poor finishing, bad luck and maybe even psychological. I'd agree that some of the signings haven't come as good as we thought. But some of these things can and will be addressed in the summer, they are fully aware of what we need on the pitch and they will do the best they possibly can to fix it. But we could just get Kenny out, replace him with Tony Pulis and rebuild again, couldn't we?

Our current manager is the only one out of the lot you have mentioned above who has won a trophy this year.
I may be wrong here but I get the impression you dont rate our current manager. He has won a trophy in his first full season yet you want him sacked or to walk away in shame.
There are a lot of people, in the premiership alone, that would probably do a much MUCH better job than kenny has done so far.
PROBABLY, now there's a word that opens up a whole can of worms.
Not one of the clubs you have mentioned has won a major honour in the last decade.
So if your definition of success is premiership survival and you want a manager sacked that has just won our first major trophy in 6 years then you have lost me.

Mocking Tony Pulis doesn't invalidate my point - when you look at Stoke's position/spend compared to our own it just makes Kenny look even worse!!
Don't get me wrong, Kenny was the right person to step in until the end of the season when Roy was disposed of. But it's when he starts to bring his own players in that it all goes pear shaped. Last season looked promising and the turnaround forced the board's hand into giving him at least another year - he had earnt that much, of that there is no doubt. But since then he has spent over £100m and we are no better off for it - if anything we are worse.
The same thing happened at Newcastle - he took over from Keegan and improved the form of the team moving them up the table in the short term. Summer came, Kenny spent a bucket of cash and newcastle finished in the bottom half. Using his own players, he took Newcastle from 2nd to 13th in the blink of an eye!
