Sorry didn’t know which threads to add this too as there are so many of them…


What is interesting is that everyone believes every word of a man who has walked out on the club he so desperately wants to see change for the better! He could have stayed and helped…

Don’t get me wrong here I have a lot of respect for KK, he did a great job for us, however we do have to remember there are 2 sides to every argument…

I think many people are forgetting that the club (wimbledon) KK talks about as having better management from top to bottom etc nearly went under, all the ‘stars’ deserted many on free contracts or knock down prices… footballers aren’t bl 00dy angels, lets not forget, and yes KK may well have blues best interest at heart… however for every one like him there are 100’s who are out for what’s best for number 1

I really don’t think it is all one persons fault or one area of the clubs fault… it has been a culmination of all area’s failing to reach their potential…

The manager

Probably should have appointed a better back room staff… fitness coach, dietician etc… Got the tactics wrong a few times!! As for the other stuff (training etc) we only have KK's word on it…

The board

They should have spent in the transfer window, we all knew where the gaps and problems were, however they went for the cheap option…

they have always put the money up in the past so maybe they were relying on the injured players getting fit!!

The team

There were times when some players just didn’t look interested, like they thought they were too good to go down!! Other players were just lacking form in the games… and we didn’t score enough goals… no amount of prep can sort this… you either do it on the pitch or you don’t

The tea lady

I told her to go Tetley tea but would she listen…. :D


What ever you think about KK words, in the short term I feel they have done more damage than good, however hopefully in the long term lets hope it helps the club sort some issues out!!!

Cunningham never said that Wimbledon were had better management from top to bottom, he was talking about them having "soul" and Blues being like a corpse (and I think he meant that to the club not the fans)

Thats not wrong, anyone thats visited Blues for a corporate event will know that the club is set up, and is very effective at, being a money making machine. Thats where I guess is what he alludes to.

Someone I know said that when he set up his corporate deal it was like going to Disneyland and expecting Mickey Mouse to be your host, only to find that Scrooge McDuck had kidnapped him, hidden him under the stairs, and was now trying to talk you in to sponsoring the cleaners mop

Its not a case of deciding to believe Kenny, most people had already sussed out most of the stuff Kenny said anyway, its more a case of getting confirmation from inside that the whole club has been mismanged.

we even got free bcfc pens and note books and to go in directors box **thumbup

its not strictly from the inside though is it? its from a man who has been released (sorry playing devils advocate again)

if he had these concerns why not raise them/ air them sooner??
