The following are just some random questions floating around in my head. I don't necessarily have answers or even a point of view on most, simply posing questions. Some need answering before the start of next season. We are rebuilding but rebuilding should show progress and plans. A blueprint.
Where is the blueprint?
What's different now than to the first half of the season?
Publicly Kenny's defended his players time and time again. Has he ripped them a new one in private or do they get the same message fluffy message as us?
Why do the players appear as they they don't give a f? In what have they lost confidence in? Kenny approach to games or their own physical inabilities?
First half of the season was by in large ok. A few hiccups but showing promise. A few 'bad luck' calls, injuries and a racism charge later are players simply feeling the pressure and cracking?
What are FSG thinking right now? Several months ago they watched their Red Sox team capitulate exactly like LFC are right now. Red Sox missed the play offs which is essentially like missing top four or European qualification. Their long time coach Terry Francona and GM Theo Epstein who had taken them to two world series were dumped at the end of the season. On par with a Comolli/Kenny pairing. Difference here is DC/KD just starting out.
Comolli must take some of the responsibility. He's said all along that he & KD worked together as a team. 50/50. Kenny had the final say but DC surely collated/approved the players for Kenny to choose from. Ultimately it's the managers job to make the players tick and gel.
Has Kenny done the job set before him which was to unify the club and get it back on it's feet? Realistically he was probably set 2 years to do that. He probably did it in 6 months. Job well done. But does it mean he should continue?
In the event that Kenny is removed/resigns at the end of the season where to next? Rafa is the easy answer but how do FSG feel about bringing back a 'former manager the fans adore and has won trophies and seen success previously'? Buyer beware...
What's our plan tactically? Youth set ups all appear to play 4231 or 433 variant. Why are the seniors different? Surely seniors set the benchmark and the youth follow. We're on two different plains at present.
Do we get cash to spend in the summer? How much? Whose spending it and on what? Given the previous question on tactics/formation how do we choose players if we don't know how we're playing.
More questions?
