	BBC SPORT \| Football \| Premiership \| Profile: Peter Kenyon
		Kenyon is an astute businessman who made his name as chief executive of sports manufacturers Umbro before leaving his post to become deputy chief executive of United in 1997.
		In contrast to Edwards, Kenyon appeared to enjoy the spotlight and built up a rapport with fans who were often given short shrift by the previous regime.
		Kenyon was not afraid to share his views on the game and attracted criticism after suggesting the answer to football's current cash problems was for smaller clubs to go part-time.

		Kenyon was also influential in bringing multi-million pound sponsorships to United as well as raising their profile with foreign tours, particularly in the lucrative market of Asia.

	Lateline - 18/7/2000: Town sizing . Australian Broadcasting Corp
		PETER KENYON, DIRECTOR, CENTRE FOR SMALL TOWN DEVELOPMENT: Look, I agree with the analysis that Gordon indicated, and that is that many of these towns are dying and, as your report indicated, possibly up to 60 per cent of our small towns are in decline.
		PETER KENYON: I think that what we have ignored in the historic analysis by Gordon is the fact, too, that since the war, we have had a policy, whether deliberate or not deliberate, in this country, of building regional centres.
		PETER KENYON: I think there is dangers if we do focus upon just the transfer of population and the use of cheap housing as a way of moving people into centres.

	Peter Kenyon's words fail to convince - Football News - Telegraph
		There, with the full, intense glare of the media shining on them, chief executive Peter Kenyon and chairman Bruce Buck endured for the first time, a barrage of difficult questions over why they had chosen this week to part company with the most successful manager in the club's history.
		Kenyon went on to explain that, while there had been no plan to axe Mourinho or to bring these "complexities" to a head, they had come to a natural conclusion on Wednesday, a day after the disappointing 1-1 Champions League draw with Rosenborg.
		In May, Kenyon gave an interview to the new documentary about the Abramovich years, Blue Revolution, in which he stated that the "relationship between Roman and Jose is very good and back to where it was".

	An Open Letter To Peter Kenyon - CFCnet Forums
		In short, Kenyon had nothing to do with this appointment and he is either collecting his pay cheque, waiting for his turn to be fired or he is biding his time to be able to say "Grant hasn't worked out, which is what I said would happen when you fired Jose.
		Kenyon isn't that bad, there's not alot he can do when the owner is seemingly blind, he can only talk to him so much and tell him his views, Kenyon doesn't have the overall say and we know that.
		Kenyon isn't in a job to be liked, he knows that some decisions will piss people off but he isn't here to please the fans.

		Kenyon confirmed that he was the new chief executive officer of Chelsea, and the club's associated companies, on Monday night.
		Kenyon's appointment - which throws the future of current football club chief executive Trevor Birch into doubt - shows Abramovich is prepared to use the same aggressive approach to appoint new staff off the pitch as he has on it.
		Kenyon - who it is thought has been offered a huge salary increase from his £700,000 a year post at Old Trafford - has been given a good deal of credit for making United a commercial success as impervious to financial downturns as any publicly listed company can be.

		It emerged yesterday that Kenyon was on his way to join Chelsea as part of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's rebuilding of the club and although United released a statement announcing the changes last night, as a publicly limited company they were obliged to make it official to the City.
		While Kenyon's position was thought to have been undermined by the collapse of the Ronaldinho transfer deal, his tenure has undoubtedly been a successful one.
		Kenyon's advisors were refusing to answer why a confirmed United fan would ditch the club in favour of one which is unlikely to ever generate the same worldwide appeal, no matter how much money is spent.

		Kenyon perturbed followers of Chelsea by his telling reluctance in the spring of 2004 to champion the then manager, Claudio Ranieri, who was popular if not conspicuously successful.
		Kenyon's regular activities are at risk of going unnoticed by the world at large, even if they will not have been lost on Abramovich, who is said to have more than doubled his Old Trafford earnings with a £1.5m salary.
		Kenyon is in the public eye to a greater extent than he was at United and he may agree with Stirling's assessment: "It's quite dangerous for one person to have so much control and I think it would be helpful if there were more distinct roles within the club.

		Kenyon, who was criticised by United supporters for taking the words "football club" off the Red Devils' badge, has made sure the same words (and a pair of small footballs) are reintroduced to the Chelsea logo (previously a lion and the letters CFC).
		Kenyon knows such numbers serve a purpose, showing that "we can deliver eyeballs, [which] is important to sponsorship".
		Kenyon's masterstroke came in 1987 when he proposed turning the multi-sports business into a football-focused operation in spite of the game's lack of goodwill in an era dogged by hooliganism.
