I think they have to tread lightly and with a massive amount of respect
Maybe move kenny upstairs
I understand your point Kent and its a good one. I think the best option for it to be presented as a job well done by Kenny and thank you are stabalising the club for the next phase. But Kenny then needs to retire we cannot have the fans calling from him when the new manasger has a bad set of results as was the case for Hodgson. No decent manasger would come here under those circumstances.
Agreed. Kenny has done enough to deserve to be treated with the utmost respect. Not just for his legendary status at the club over the decades, but for what he's done since he's come back in as manager alone.
We were in turmoil, he came in and "steadied the ship", won some silverware this season, but the league form has been diabolical. You can get on with certain players having a barren spell in front of goal, but out of our whole squad the only one who's done well goal-wise is Martin Skrtel.
6 Suarez
6 Bellamy
3 Carroll
2 Gerrard
2 Adam
2 Maxi
1 Kuyt
1 Henderson
0 Downing
These are the players we look towards for goals. We'd be looking for
at LEAST 5 of them to be getting into double figures over the course of a PL season. Yet with 11 games to go, not one of them is there. I'd say - and I don't think this is asking too much - that it'd be fair to expect around 80-90 goals between those 9 attacking players in a PL season. 23 goals. 23 measly goals between our 9 attacking players. Just to put that into perspective, Robin van Persie has got 25 PL goals this season.
That is embarrassing.
I don't know why every one of our attacking players finds it impossible to put the ball in the back of the net. I don't know if it's down to confidence, bad coaching, or what it is. What I do know is that it's past the point of blaming it on just the woodwork, missed penalties and bad luck etc.
The bottom line is, League Cup in the bag, and FA Cup or not - in the league it just isn't working. Kenny should be given a pat on the back and given the opportunity to hold his hands up and walk out with dignity in the summer. In the meantime, the club should be already actively seeking a replacement.
