KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Did kenny destroy our football club?

you don't know what u are talking about. simple as that

kenny asked for leave. wanted to come back after a break and was disappointed not to be asked back. so again u have no idea what u are talking about

It was but was breaking up ageing team and the game was changing physical teams were able to stop Liverpool. Man utd found the foruma few years later with compact defence and fast on the break. Kenny failed to adapt and the team has never recovered.

That contradicts Kenny's version of events. I'm assuming that you don't have any evidence as usual? Maybe it's just 'common knowledge', privvy only to you and your chums?

If you knew your football, then you would know that he was offered a break and was told he could come back when he was ready. The board presumed he was suffering from the hillsborough aftermath. He corrected them - and now I'm correcting you.

no no no..souness was the manager. kenny left a title winning team.. thats like saying fergie is to blame if, when he retires, utd get poor.

no logic

Not sure you are talking to me or emp. Yes I knew he was offered a break. It s my version of events I went to every game back then home and away. This is an opinion forum and that's my view based on my experience .

well u don't know the correct events . he wasn't offered a break he wanted a break .

Well, I'm going to believe Kenny's word over yours on this one.

words u don't even know

It's utter lunacy to blame one man for the club's failure.

Kenny left the club 22 years ago, is he at fault for all those years in between him returning 2 years ago? Surely some of the blame has to go on Souness, Evans, Houllier, Rafa, Hodgson and Rodgers. What about the owners who failed to build a new stadium, got lost in promotion and advertising, thinking we could carry on as we had been doing, not willing to fund the players that the managers wanted etc.

As to Kenny not adapting to the new league system, how do you explain him getting Blackburn promoted back to the top division for the first time in 26 years, finishing in the top 4 the following season and winning the league in his 3rd season. He also finised 2nd with Newcastle in his first season, qualifying them for the Champions League and made it to the FA cup final before being sacked.

I'll tell you what has cost the club over the last 2 decades - failure in the transfer market.

exactly right and the sad thing is we got rid of our best chance of regaining glory . and for what ? for winning a trophy, getting us back into europe and generally putting us on the map again. absolute farce giving him so little time. idiots on here calling for his head hadn't got a clue what winning is about. kenny is a born winner. only him and fergie won at city last season. beat arsenal and chelsea away last season. stupid stupid letting him go. now we drift away in some made up theory when if we had stuck with a liverpool legend and born winner we would be fighting tooth and nail with the big boys.
