Badlands said:Kenny was great for us in that period, he definitely deserves praise even if his style of football wasn’t innovative, but just ran out of ideas.
At least his form of direct football was, more often than not, entertaining.

Scoring those 7 against the worzels was seriously boring, and the play off final had me yawning my head off.
I think he reached his ceiling, but I don’t remember that season (I only saw all the home games and the play off final) as being boring at all.

100+ goals in all competitions that season. Top goalscorers in the division.
Like you say, he'd reached his level with us, but there's an awful lot of nonsense spouted about him.

Oddly there is an equal (or sometimes more) spouted about many of his successors as well right up to Laudrup.
Jackett
Roberto
Paulo
Brendan
Laudrup
All took this club forward and helped us get to the pinnacle.

I would also add Flynn to that list. As well as the 2002-03 escape, he brought in players that were key to our team for the rise up the divisions (Trundle, Robinson, Martinez, Tate, Britton)

Yes I agree, absolutely spot on comment.

Flynn was a dreadful manager for us. He brought in some legends but I believe all those names above signed permanently in his second season when he was sacked after a few weeks for being complete and utter gash.
Plus there’s his first season where even though he had to clean up Cusacks mess he came in in September and it took him until the last game of the season to save us.
People get deflected by his signings,look at his managerial record with us and it’s complete gash.
