They offered him a different position and Kenny called there bluff, back me or sack me. One way or the other, it was going to be definitive. I don't think John Henry gets on with Kenny, so it doesn't come as a surprise. The most respectful thing to do would have been to keep Kenny around the club, but even I believe Kenny's ego was, I want to be manager or nothing at all.
Obviously they were going to fetch the axe.
Still a very sad day, IT STILL wasn't done right. STILL.
