Yes, I think it would help him in the long run dealing with the press

He's been interacting with the media for nearly 25 years. I think he's a bit beyond that now. 

Who cares what he's like when a camera stuck in his face. I only care what he's like when a player is stuck in his face. 

Most of us probably wouldn't do much better. Like anything in football all that sideshow stuff doesn't matter a jot unless the sh!t is hitting the fan on the pitch. He could be a stuttering, tourette laden mess and we wouldn't care, as long as things were going well. Fine lines and fuel for the negative narrative is all it is.

There is a lot to suggest that the road he has travelled is the right one, when there were obvious, safer alternatives. The trouble was, the same results with the safer options would have made his case harder to make. Instead he can point to result improvement, player growth and managerial coordination.

I think he asked McGoldrick to reconsider. And Westwood was never in a position to be picked by Kenny, realistically. Point taken on the rest.

this!

the amount of players hes brought through in such a short period of time has been incredible. we took some short term pain but weve accelerated the development of a lot of these young lads. 

if Mick was in charge he would probably have us playing 5 centre backs with glen whelan still going in the middle.

Ah Mr Brick how good of you to drop by. I hazard by your post that you still believe that Kenny isn't the man for the job? Would you like to elaborate on how he started out as manager to where we are now? 
It would damage this forums' reputation

As it says on the COP26-approved recyclable packaging, Artie - two wins against canon fodder after 15 competitive games. The post was in support of Murph who was bagged in McG's shambolic cheapie for the crime of expressing a different take on Pep Kenny. Enjoy the celebrations. 
Thanks Brick Clap

And i posted a cheapie? "Pep" Kenny, embarrassing behaviour from any fan of the team.

I have a go at Murph because he cannot serve up any rationale for his displeasure at Stephen Kenny being manager of the team other than the fact that he is "JD appointment" and that he came to us via a rather untraditional route having achieved "little" elsewhere. 

The 2 wins in 15 may be true but anybody in denial about our progress has motives for whatever reason. In Murph's case he reminds me of taximen that ive been unlucky to be a customer. Stubborn cranks so entrenched in their beliefs despite knowing they are wrong and their views are struggling to hold water.

Even Kenny's biggest critics in media are starting to change their tune. People like giles and brady who were saying wait to see out the campaign are now saying give him the contract. 

We all know we are not perfect and there have been quite a number of mistakes that could have cost results but on the overall balance, we are playing better football in terms of keeping hold of the ball as far back as I can remember, we are pretty solid at the back with good players, we have good workmanlike midfielders and forwards able to muster up at least a few clear chances per game between each other. This is a big improvement on where we are and it seems its getting better each game as Kenny is fine tuning things....the latest being that maybe Idah is not quite ready but Knight looks like he is an improvement and could be that missing creativity spark between midfielders and forwards that has definitely been one thing that has been missing (the other biggest being a quality finisher).

Bottom line is if you get results the narrative changes. Now some can post that they were right to be patient and maybe they have a right to do that but we haven't won anything yet so to speak and so yes there have been positive displays and results. That is what Kenny is paid to do. Let's hope we can push on now.
