I'm saying just cos someone leaves the club, it's no reason to take away from what they done while at your club. Yes you'd lose respect for them or hate them cos of the way they left but if they did a good job while there, why try and say it wasn't him(Kenna) at all, it was Foster all along.

That they thought he was a good manager when he was with them and now think he's crap after he's gone.

isnt that just the nature of being a fan??

I can see why Galway fans are saying what they are. Roddy was vilified (by a large minority) after he left Bohs and everyone said it was Pete Mahon that won the league until Pete actually took over.....

bleh. Silly argument.

Yeah, I agree. As I said no real way of judging who has the bigger impact until both go their seperate ways. Naturally enough the manager is going to get the most praise for a job well done.

It's very, very hard to stomach as a Pats supporter. We've had periods before when we were a poor poor side (late Eamonn Collins to early Johnny Mac era for example) But I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in the team and management as I am now. Last time we were poor we were spending sod all and at least had the excuse of a bargain basement squad, but we were still better then than we are now. I'd guess we're still in the top 3/4 spenders as well. There is the backbone of a decent, fairly experienced squad there (though admittedly very short on options up front.) To be surrendering games the way we have lately is something of a disgrace. I know it's early days and I would never usually be in favour of knee jerk reactions, but all the signs are that Kenna just isn't up to the job. Hard to see things improving with him in charge. Europe could be horrific :eek:

Whats the general feeling among Pats fans with Kenna, has he impressed ye with anything he has done, or has he just been solid useless in yere opinions?

You can't play it back to the keeper using your arms or the leg below the knee. Anything else is ok. Brennan does it all the time.
