I disagree that the players brought in are "[oops]" , I think the likes of Suarez, Bellamy and Enrique are obviously not. Carroll has started proving himself and I think his inclusion in the England squad should do him the world of good and Downing's record speaks for itself really. Though I admit that Downing has been shocking this season, you can't argue that he didn't look a good signing at the start of the season. Henderson and Adam are the two questionable signings in my opinion.
Regarding the performances, firstly, I didn't say that performances are a substitute for results, I thought that was clearly implied when I mentioned "other areas". Secondly, without a doubt the performances dipped once it was clear we wouldn't make the top 4 but prior to that we were playing better football, creating chances and bossing games.
Anyway, I'm not trying to fight Kenny's corner, I was merely trying to say that I don't believe he has been dealt with in an entirely dignified manor and I don't see why another ex-manager would expose themselves to similar treatment.
