I do wish people would stop saying Kenny walked away as he didnt. He asked for sometime after attending dozens of funerals and trying to run a club go tthe better of him a few weeks in the sun probably would have done it but Moores said no and hello Souness.The man was emotionally knackered and remember he did come back and won the league for Blackburn which proved all he needed was a short break.
Where DO you get your info from??? Is it purely a case of reading the ramblings of a some forum nutters and "choosing" the story which you'd most like to be true?
Personally, I prefer to find facts, or failing that I go straight to the horses mouth for his version of the events:
------------------------------------------------------------
The following morning at 10.30 I drove into Anfield for a routine management meeting with Peter Robinson and chairman Noel White. Peter was shuffling some papers. I couldn't delay: "I want to resign as manager."
"Pardon?" Noel said. "I've had enough. I need a break. I feel as if my head is exploding."
They were shocked.
"Are you sure you don't want to take a sabbatical?" asked Peter.
"Of course I don't. I'm out. I'm shot. I've got to go. I have a position of responsibility at this football club and I can't make decisions. I don't deserve to be here. And you don't deserve me to be here."
Club solicitor Tony Ensor said: "I'm talking to you as a friend. Take some time off then come back."
But I said: "I can't walk out on a club not knowing whether I would be fit enough to return. It's the middle of the season, we're top of the league, still in the cup with a replay with Everton, how could I have a sabbatical? It wouldn't look right for players.
"I need a clean break. It's over."
At 4pm, Liverpool held an emergency board meeting at which they reluctantly accepted my resignation with the stipulation I attend a Press conference in the morning

The above is taken from Kenny's autobiography. And I bet some people STILL think they know better!
