The deciding factor may be the lack of production that Kenny has gotten out of his transfers. There has been a lot of money spent and no progress made. Nobody could reasonably have expected him to turn us into a contender by now, but fighting for a Champs league spot had to have been a minimum expectation.

Just as an interesting aside, fans on the Liverpool forums are talking about bringing Rafa back. There are no rumors backing up this talk, its just banter between fans, but it is kind of interesting. Personally I don't like the idea of going back to previous managers, but Rafa did do very well here until Hicks and Gillette gave him no money at all for transfers.

does he need an FA cup win to keep a job?

it's a tough call because of his status with the club, because I think anyone else is gone
Last season, Kenny was looking like a savior. It's completely unravelled this season. Paying 35 million pounds for Andy Carroll, given his subsequent performance, is reason enough for me to let him go. But it goes way beyond that. The paltry amount of playing time Maxi has had this season is tragic, given that he has done nothing but score or set up goals every time he's played. He will leave this off season, no doubt.

Downing, Henderson? What have they brought? Piss all in my estimation. Letting Mereiles go was a mistake. Kuyt being on the bench for most games (playing Carroll instead in a vain attempt to justify the obscene amount of cash paid for him)? Yep. Another mistake by the king.

Bringing in an ever aging but still effective Craig Bellamy has been a pretty good move, I guess.

I hate to say it, But Kenny's gotta be punted.
