Stephen Kenny

[youngirish]

Please Steve Staunton come back. All is forgiven. Kenny has been the poorest Irish managerial appointment since Mick Meagan.

Any suggestions if the Stephen Kenny experiment does come to an end ? ?

[Bielsa´s irish]

Needs to be got rid of immediately. We are going nowhere fast. 25 games in charge and has achieved nothing but take us backwards at an alarming rate.

That Darragh Maloney seemed very furious on TV. Get Bielsa Ireland needs a big name after Kenny. Kenny will be replaced soon

Should end after this window, the national team is not improving after the first match vs Bulgaria with a late header. Its the end of the road.

He seems to be very much like Boris Johnson.

A lot of people in England think Boris gives bumbling interviews and then transforms into an effecive leader when he walks through the doors of the cabinet.

Maybe Stephen does transform - no idea.

I was actually serious about Rooney. Has played at the highest level, has had an impossible task at Derby. but done well and has an Irish connection. Would be a left field choice, but who else is there?

Funny enough, I actually see him as more of a Corbyn type. Buried in principles and has a hardcore legion of fans who think the sun shines from his hole despite him having shown no obvious ability to have any success in the position he holds.

His interviews put me to sleep. I wonder does he do the same for the players.

Steven Reid. Learned his trade at Palace and now successfully at Forest and was with Clarke to get Scotland to the Euros. Heard recently he was up at 6am driving from the Manchester to London daily when at Palace. He’s a born grafter, evidently dedicated to learn and would run through a brick wall for the team when he was playing, which has to install more fight and confidence than the current alternative. If Gerard, Rooney & Giggs get cited as relative successes after early opportunities, why not him?

Mick Megan was way better than Kenny and laid a huge amount of the groundwork that was taken to the next level by Giles… as for Kenny he’s had more that a decent time to make it work but it hasn’t and he’s also delivered some of the worst results in our whole history , and having come out and said we’d win the group now makes him look like a delusional fantasist

[backstothewall]

I wouldn't mind using these games to experiment. It woUld be fine to change 5 players and lose 1-0. But we didn't do that. We lost a team which looks to me like a first 11, despite me having no idea what his first 11 is.

I don't think he does either.

After two and half years, and 25 games, in charge, Kenny really should not be "experimenting". He should know his players, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to get the best out of them.
At the very least he should have a plan for attempting a comeback that's better than "push Shane Duffy up front"

[seanfhear]

You’d like to think that we could have a manager that would at least come in to the consideration of a mid table English championship club if they were looking for a manager. There is no way Stephen Kenny would be even coming under consideration for such a club. I am afraid it looks like the Kenny experiment is over.

If Michael O’Neill was interested he would be a good shout but would he be interested ?

Exactly that's why you win this match, with balls and strong personality, and Kenny can't transfer this attribute yet to the players. He transferred some passing from the back, some tidy movements from the back but that's just all his good improvement. No mixture of tempos no urgency, and a crystal jaw.

[Razors left peg]

Lee Carsley would be my choice to replace him I think.
