...be interesting if Kenwright was centrally involved in negotiating the incoming of Allardyce, Lee and Shakespeare. I have a very strong feeling that he wasn’t and he’s not very happy about that.

I don't think up to this point it's really an argument worth making.

I voted OUT as he simply has to have culpability for the summer.
Either he had sufficient power and influence, and used it, in which case his judgement was proved to be badly wrong on several occasions, or didn't have influence, and did not speak up.
No excuses really - he isn't paid a managers salary but if he thought there was any internal impediments to his job he should have gone straight to Moshiri. Perhaps he did, but I get the impression that he is just one of quite a few at the club who coasted along on the tide of optimism and enthusiasm in early/mid summer. Nobody was asking the tough questions.
Nobody seemed to go against the grain which can be a difficult and brave thing to do but that's essentially what a DOF is there for.
It looks like his role is actually enhanced now, but I'm not comfortable with him overseeing January and subsequent windows on the basis of the last two.

If he has any rabbits to pull out of his hat, he'd best do it pronto.
That pronto in fact that there are 3 crackers ready and waiting at USMFF to put pen to paper after one chorus of Auld langes syne.

Bit harsh, Niasse might not be the flashiest or most orthodox player in the world but he's been one of our best and most effective players this season, unlucky at Anfield where all he had to feed off were hoofs and panicked clearances.
Might have tucked a few away but he's still crap. If we went into next season and he was first or second choice striker you wouldn't be happy would you? So he's crap.
You know it's going to be Crouch and Noble with minutes to spare on transfer deadline day.
Crouch will be signed and ready to go for the derby...don't know about Noble
Don’t know if it’s been mentioned .... can’t be arsed to read some of the tosh here but I do think he may begin to shine alongside Craig Shakespeare
The two of them were a dream team together in the Leicester title win
For me it can only be good to have them as a pair

Im just happy Kevin Nolan has now retired.
..I actually think Shakespeare will have a key position, both in tactics on the pitch and on transfer targets. I wouldn’t be surprised to see an approach based more on the Leicester model than on the stereotypical Allardyce teams.
