kenny was out of touch with the kinda players he signed.,downing,henderson, really poor , but also need to remember we were not in europe and couldn't attract some players. under kenny we beat chelsea a few times, city too.they are modern day ain't they. ok yes his big man 4-4 2 is a bit old, but he had a crap first season with blackburn and won the prem the next , just think we sacked him way too easily.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Benitez fan but if the above article is true then we'd be stuck chamakh instead of cole. Not exactly an improvement. But then again, what was purslow doing trying to stick his beak into team affairs???

Regarding the above poster who mentioned the "epic swindle" book - a very good read, a real eye opener.

If we weren't in europe then why was kenny paying the kind of fees you'd normally associate with europe's finest players? Never mind keeping him on longer, he should have been sacked 6 months earlier.

if you want to look at individual games and victories as a sign of success then we're going down the road of a small club whereby the season is defined by midtable and maybe a big victory against one of the top teams and 2 wins against Everton.
The simple facts are that we had the worst season in 50+ years with a simply atrocious home record and all this after spending 100mil on new players

Forgive me but isnt it part of the managers job to research players attitude and behaviour before he signs them?

I'm sorry but his mistakes in the transfer market we're a risk that the club couldnt take again.

I think your clutching at straws and distant memories on this one.

i go by performances, yes they was some horrible ones, bolton away was just shocking. but in general, our play deserved more points. an excuse maybe, but people saying the same thing bout west brom game. i think if kenny was given a summer, without commolli, back in europe i think we would have improved further with him. whats the deal then with BR , if he has a poor season do we sack him?? or keep him cause he is young and has ideas?? seriously if he has the same kinda record as kenny then he has to go right?
