As for Kenny getting the 3 year contract, im delighted ofc. was over the moon when he came back in January and thats not judt because of who he is and his status in Liverpool but because he has proven himself to be a really good manager. He won numerous trophies last time he was liverpool manager and ofc winnng the league with Blackburn and i think if he didnt leave Liverpool when he did then we would not have fallen like we did. I dont blame him for that though. He suffered alot after Hillsborough and it eventually took its toll on him. When you think back to where Liverpool were when he left, they were a team in decline that needed rebuilding. Kenny was the man to do that but instead Souness came him and made a total fuck up of almost everything. I know you cant say this for sure, but if Kenny stayed on at liverpool, i think ALan Shearer and Roy Keane would have been Liverpool players. But anyway thats all ifs and buts. He is back now. People say he was out of the game too long but i dont think you lose that ability as a football manager. He has a great way about him, good knowledge of the game, good man manager in the sense that he will make players feel like they are the best in the world but also wont be afraid to give them a kick up the arse when needed and he has also shown that he has a good eye for a player. Also, it never was the same as Keegan going back to Newcastle imo. I think Kenny is a much better manager than Keegan.
Anyway, its great he is our manager. i wouldnt have wanted anyone else but im not getting carried away. The aim next season should be to get back into the champions league. The first step is this summer and signing quality players. If we could manager to bring in one or two players of Suarez's level but in different positions then i think that would be definitely achievable next season.
actually i think if we managed to get 2 more like him we would be challenging for the title lol. but obviously thats easier said than done.
and i think Liverpool would want to be in the Europa League next season. I think its very useful for giving the younger players game time.
