Kenny's recent self praise in the press was a bit strange. Winning the Carling Cup truly is hollow. i couldn't care less about this tin pot contest to be honest. And if Kenny was still manager i fear we would not still be in the Premier League. He wasnt up to the job as manager at all.
Love the man though.
So probably a good move symbolically by the owners to show respect to his contribution to the history of the club and to show respect to the man himself after an awkward termination of KK's second coming.
the owners seem to be "getting" what is LFC.
If KK had stayed, I think we would have made top 4 last year but we'll never know just as you are saying we wouldn't have been in the EPL. That said as a non exucutive director, he will have some influence on the board as it is the case in any company. If it was for PR only, he would have been made ambassador not a director.
