No doubt he doesn't do the financial negotiating but neither does Fergie or Mancini. The fact is that Liverpool have spent a massive amount of money in recent years on sub-standard players. Excluding Suarez. Kenny can't be blamed for the wastage but he can be blamed for them playing like sh!t, or partly blamed at least. He's done no better than Hodgson did with arguably a better squad, yet he's still faultless in the eyes of the misguided Kopites.
Rafa, despite his facht sheet, is the best manager they've had in a long long time.
