Exactly JJ. We used to get fucked off with Rafa and Ged's stubbornness and inability to break off the shackles, this is the opposite if anything, it's Kenny saying, "well it's clearly not working, let's try something else". It might be a bit too late but at least he's acknowledging the issue and not saying he's going to keep persevering at our expense in the hope it'll work, it's not going to without the right players. He's made a mess of things but at least he's saying something positive regarding changing it, and if that means changing his principles in the short term, then so be it. That's where a manager earns his money, in adapting to various situations and showing a willingness to be versatile with his tactics. It might not work but it's better than sitting there doing fuck all about it, and being stubborn.
AgreeMostly agree, but the last bit depends on what you mean by "does the buying". If you mean "does the admin.legwork" you're probably right, but if you mean "makes the decisions" I doubt that you are. I'd stake a sizeable sum that Comolli, Kenny and Tom Werner are all involved and I'd also bet that Kenny, rather than Comolli, has the final say.
Not sure about that Count. Kenny said that they were scouting Suarez when Rafa was in charge and Rafa sent Kenny to look at him.While not saying that Kenny didn't agree with the signings I don't think that it would be totally outlandish to suggest that Comolli was the driver of the Carroll and Suarez purchases.
After all Kenny was only in situ a couple of weeks by the end of the transfer window.
The logic could even be stretched as far as Adam, who we very nearly also signed in the same January window.
No it's not, having to listen to same drivel, by the same monotonous posters, with the same fucking tired point in every thread is enough to get most people's backs up. I think a few posters have more than made their points clear enough times.
PS as for RAWK, no surprise there given they're still mourning over Rafa.
Why has Vlad left?
I think he got fed up trying to sift through the reams of well thought out, considered, articulate and measured posts from the siteWhy has Vlad left?
That's good to hear! I'm his bro but I didn't know anything about this.Thankfully he's only taking a breather before coming back. A sensible move. We could all benefit from it at times!
