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

Totally agree with you. Those who wanted him out are trying to find improvements this season anywhere they can, such as we are playing better football, we have scored more goals, the second half of this season is better than last 2nd half etc. Fact is, we are going to be ONE position better than last year, but out of every competition in Feb, while last year we were in 2 finals winning a trophy after what, 6 years? At least we were kept interested until May instead of Feb, must be one of our worst ever season.

care to explain or you just don't actually know and are basing it on his game against Liverpool and Arsenal earlier in the year?

BR mightn't be the answer but he is irrelevant to this thread. Kenny had proven in the league and transfers that he was not the right man to take us forward and a change was needed

It might be both Rodgers and dalglish are not up to the job of taking us to the top four especially with a restricted transfer budget,

Very true, any talk of either Kenny or BR being capable of winning a title as things stand are delusional or just stupid

a change was the last thing that was needed. what was needed was to allow a born winner the time needed to get us back to the top..which he was doing. kenny is a legend in the game and we replaced him with a legend in his own mind.


time not knee jerking. but that is today's fan - idiots.

Change was very definitely needed. He had wasted the largest transfer budget any manager will see under FSG, he had been a PR disaster and we had our worst league in how long? The cup runs only served to paper over cracks. The league is a managers bread and butter and he showed he was not up to scratch in it.

It's not who you beat (or lose to) along the way, it's where you finish. You cannot pick out individual results to prove a point or the 3-2 defeat to QPR (when we were 2-0 up in the last 10 minutes) trumps all of your examples!!

At the moment, Rodgers is a better manager than Kenny; despite his blank cheque book KD spent £130m taking us from 6th to 8th. That's right - with more financial backing than any manager in our history, Kenny took us backwards!!!!!!

Some people want Kenny back at Anfield - they are currently celebrating their 20th league title!

18 months

In his first 6 months he stabilised the club and took us in to the top 6 from the bottom half of the table. We were in the top 3 in the form table.

In his first full season, we got to 2 cup finals and qualified for Europe by winning the League cup. Sure we finished in 8th, but we were winners again, our first trophy in 6 years is no small feet.

It's simple to use that 100m figure to bash him with, without having a look at his signings and not taking in to account outgoings.

-Suarez was signed for 23m, he's being touted at 40m now. He was banned for 7-8 games last season and before that was on mediocre form, obviously he was still getting use to the EPL. Great signing.
-Andy Carroll was injured for 3 months out of his first 6 for us. He took time to get back in to the flow again and many people were praising him by the end of the season. This season he has been injured quite a bit, but been on fantastic form at the end of this season. Average signing, but is young and has lots of potential.
-Craig Bellamy on a free transfer was amazing business, he was superb for us.
Joe Enrique has been our best left back since JAR. He only cost 6 million. Great signing.
-Charlie Adam was immense before joining us and was wanted by many teams including Man Utd. He ended up finishing the season with our most number of assists and grabbed a few goals too. He was wrongly sold this season, evidently by the fact he has outperformed most of our midfield. Good signing.
-Sebastian Coates was obviously signed to give Suarez some company, hotly tipped for the future, played well in the few games he played for us last season, shunned by Rodgers. Good signing.
-Jordan Henderson cost double what we should have paid for him, young, bags of potential and wanted by many teams, again inc. Man Utd. Was thrown in at the deep end last season and has been one of our better midfielders this season. Good signing.
-Stewart Downing, we needed a winger, we lost out on our 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices, he had just had a decent season, we overpaid for him. Poor signing.

As to our worst season, wasn't it Rodgers who had our worst start to a campaign in over a century. Didn't we get dumped out of the cups early doors this season, aren't we currently 10th in the form table and sitting in 7th, isn't it Rodgers who has only made 1 decent signing out of 53 million spent.

We are also 10th in the form guide and most of us gave up on top 4 a few months ago. We will also lose our Plan A soon for the rest of the season with a couple of tough matches coming up against Newcastle and Everton, let' see how many point we are behind then.
