OK, so if Roy gets fired now, who is going take over?
We can all dream and fantasize about Kenny etc, and dream about how he will come in and flog the 'LFC Pride' and 'fit to wear the shirt' prep talk.
I agree, this is important to us fans and there is nothing more worse than seeing players who aren't interested.
BUT....if Roy gets fired now, we will need one sweet talking mutha who can lift the squad with IMMEDIATE impact and stop the decline. Otherwise, there is not much point in firing a manager mid-season because new managers need time to adapt and understand the players and staff.
I believe Roy should go ASAP. But if we are bringing in a new manager from abroad, then No Thank you, because by the time he has settled, it would be too late. Foreign managers should be recruited at the end of the season only.
So that doesn't leave us with much choice if Roy was to go.
And I believe we need a motivator right now.
Is Kenny a motivator? Or is he more of a strategist? Or even both? Does anybody know? Because in a fantasy world, he would be perfect but we are facing a serious crisis right now and cannot fantasize.
Kenny has been away from management for too long and I believe it is too much of a risk to bring him in now. I would rather he took over at the end of the season.
So the way I see it, we should either stick with Roy or get a proven motivating sweet talking Manager to act as an interim (or permanent) and I really don't see that to be Kenny.
The only person I can think of who uses motivation as his prime tool is.....
Keegan.
No one has mentioned him as a candidate. I agree he's not the best, but for motivation and stopping the decline, he's got to be a good option and one worth considering for the mean time.
