Yeah that's completely fair. Kenny's caps have basically all been good ones. Maybe not players who are fully ready yet but the best options we have for the medium term anyway. I wish we had another 26-30 year old midfielder who could help Knight and Molumby along but it is what it is and at least Kenny has decided to play them now and not lean on older options who are on the way out rather than up.
FWIW, and this isn't in response to you SkStu, I think we'll look back on Kennys tenure as a very turbulent one with some decent attempts made at changing the culture and style of football that were probably a bit too ambitious given the players at our disposal. Ultimately we will remember the results and tactics not being good enough but there have been some positives and we did need to try something new IMOP. One thing we will definitely say is that a good number of our best players in future years were brought in by him and encouraged to play.
I've moved on from him at this point. What's sad to me is that posters want to use his shortcomings to bash the LoI. Kenny had his shortcomings even within the LoI and many would have said that. Still deserved his shot, particularly given the FAIs finances but it hasn't worked and at this stage, his wages are good enough to attract someone who can do the job better. It's not an easy one but he's making it look harder than it is. We should be able to compete with Greece. I don't mind losing in Athens but we were tragically bad after a training camp dedicated to the game. I trust the current FAI slightly more to pick the right man as well.....slightly more.....
