Seems more likely - although I suspect that there will be an entirely different structure in place next season so both could well be involved.

Thats a surprise.....

Didn't Rafa have a controversy with hamburg last season, where the rumour was that they have completly different ideas on the youth development?

Not a shock to me, and I think it will leave an opening for Kenny - perhaps not as director but somewhere in the setup.-

Why are people desperate to get Kenny on board, does he have a record at youth level? Im sure there are many better qualified but less well known out there to choose from.

think he might be able to teach them a trick or two as well and he is a fantastic ambassador for the club.....you not that bothered about him being involved then?

Kids wouldn't remember Dalglish as it's not their era.

How much harm does Bobby Charlton do Utd?? absolutely none, he is always there at the big European draws constantly reminding everyone of utd's history, regularly comes out backing the manager and I think he has been quoted every year for the past 15 years saying "This is the best Utd side we have ever had"

In short he is a credible 'good news' PR machine, a link between the past and present, we sing songs about our history yet as a football club don't utilize it as well as we should.
Kenny should always be involved in whatever capacity he wants to be until he dies just like in many years to come Gerrard and Carra should always have an involvement

Got this Email today:

Parry's son is/was doing his badges and to get your A licence you need to go to a team abroad.

Anyway he ended up at Young Boys Berne, Heighway was leaving/Left and we needed a new director.

Parry's lad told slick Rick that this Piet Hamberg was the man to get. Rafa wanted some Spanish lad, but was over ruled by Parry who had the power.

Rafa wanted to sign this doctor who was supposed to be quality, Parry dug his heels in and the doc went to Man Utd.

So Parry asked Piet if he knew a good doctor, he said yes some bird doctor at Young Boys. So she got the job.

When we needed to do a medical on Dossena our doc was away with england so rafa said bring the academy doctor in.

It was then brought to light that she did not have the right medical qualifications. But was infact getting banged by Pier.
