I think people generally don't have a problem with Kenny's man-managing skills.
But it will be a problem if he goes out and spend another 50m on crappy mediocre players. That's the real danger.
i think blaming one person is ridiculous and nieve. Players should be watched, scouted and researched to see if they fit into the club philopsophy and playing style. It's not just Kenny and we would be nieve to think it is. If i was Henry I would sit down at the end of the season with the scouting/purchasing team(Kenny, Commoli etc) and frankly ask what happened to my money. It doesn't have to be Abramovich style but certainly some players have done well and others floundered.
certainly some players have been successes - Suarez, Enrique and Bellamy whilst others have been poor Carroll, Adam,Downing and to a lesser degree Hendo. With Coates non discript.
The club decided on a youth/potential policy so what is the verdict - Hendo, Carroll, Coates have in my view not improved significantly over the season and never come close to matching performances at previous clubs. They do have time but the growth curve is a shallow one so far.
we want to avoid bringing in another 7 players next season and go through the pain of bedding in, 2/3 max at the xpense of Maxi, Aurelio and maybe Kuyt. BUT this would mean the lads above being up to scratch and frankly so far they are not. Kelly and Spearing have shown clearly the right attitude to succeed, all 3 could learn a lesson.
