Just received a phone call, I wont give you their name or position for confidentiality. (I was just laying down for the night and my phone buzzed.)
I've been told anyway, that win or loose the final, it won't change a thing. Kenny has already made it perfectly clear to the owners and senior players of what he intends to do. He will step aside after the final and announce so. The owners don't want him to be gone from the club, because if they completely blanked Kenny, it would be bad signal from the owners to the fans and the media. (We are close to the end guys, I just hope it ends nicely!)
Kenny will remain at the club in some capacity, what that is at the moment is unknown. However, I've been told that the director of football vacancy is likely, depending on who the next manager is. Kenny was present at the Montpellier-Toulouse game, as this is a bit of forward thinking from the owners. As he is a serious candidate for DOF.
If no director of football is in place before the end of the season, it will most certainly be Kenny.
The owners also stated that Kenny will play a part in the appointment and choosing of the new manager, at this moment in time 3 managers are on the shortlist. Andre Villas Boas, Jurgen Klopp and finally Rafael Benitez (who has already been spoken to "secretly" about the position)
I also have it on good authority that Eden Hazard WILL be a Liverpool player next season, the deal was already half-done when Comolli was still here, from what I understand Kenny and Clarke were in France that day to watch Olvier Giroud ASWELL as a meet up with Eden Hazard's agent and Lille's representative before the game to conclude the deal, Joe Cole will go the other way on a 2 year contract. It's a done deal.

Hazard attended the Manchester Derby the other night, just cant see a Player like Hazard ever wanting to come to a Club like Liverpool, especialy as he has the pick of so many bigger Clubs playing Champions League.
