Pretty sure he said he was very close to appointing one of the internal candidates; Weir apparently.
Let's not forget that Billy Liar's first act as new owner was to extend Walter Smith's contract by another two years.
I don't think anybody could have predicted how woeful smith would become. Considering it was 'sell to survive' as opposed to 'sell to buy' then, walter did okay. As was proved by Moyes, Walter's squad was not as bad as it looked. He just could nay cut it. Even Carsley (at £1.7 million) looked a terrible buy under Smith.
I'm not defending Kenwright, like I say, he's done much wrong, but he can't have been that close to appointing an internal candidate, because he never went down that road.
