Dalglish had been out of work for a decade! Besides, just because he failed it doesn't mean another ex-manager would also fail. Some teams have had more success when a manager has returned than during his first stint.

Hodgson failed and he wasn't an ex LFC manager. Does that mean we shouldn't employ people who haven't worked for Liverpool? You can't just write off a group of people based on the mistakes of one person.

Rafa is our greatest living manager - only 3 years ago he had us ranked as the number one club in the whole world!!!! Not bad considering he had to work under hicks & gillet. Imagine how he'd do with fully supportive bosses?FSG have made an enormous mistake in hiring Rodgson over Benitez. ENORMOUS!

my worry is fsg didnt give him the job 6 months ago, why would they give him the job in the future? they are afraid that he will not be a yes man and actually put pressure on them to spend money. It may be in liverpool's interests to give him the job but not in fsg's!

The thing is, RB would deliver results and would justify a big transfer spend. What has BR done? taken us further back in the league than Dalglish, and with a poorer record than roy hodgson. Would 'you' trust him with a big kitty?

i wouldnt trust him but then they trusted him enough to give him the job in the first place. they even trusted him with a shiny new porsche.

i could see fsg sacking him and bringing in an even bigger numpty...

exactly FSG true colours will come out in jan there backs are right against the wall every fan knows were we need to spend if they dont back him we will know BR took the job knowing he wasnt getting any money and the focus will be on to get rid of the owners and take it from me when the fans at the game turn there will be no goin back and we"ll have another H+G on our hands.

You won't know that for sure, nothing is certain that if Rafa returned he would of picked us back up and returned us to Europe. But I agree and accept your point to a certain extent.

If they didn't back him in August why would they back him in January when they have made it clear that they won't be spending big and are trying to cut costs/balance the books from previous transfer windows? They're not going to get the cheque book out everytime the fans start complaining - that's not how to run a business.

If I was FSG I'd be asking why BR is wanting money for strikers. They gave him the funds to buy Yesil and when he had the option in europe to play either yesil, suarez or morgan he chose to play shelvey up front!! It makes no difference that he scored - the point is, we have strikers available and he isn't using them so why is he trying to buy 2 more? We're not man city!

That'll do me!!

I'm not saying RB would have us back in the top 4 by summer and another CL final the following May, but I have 100% confidence that he would be doing considerably better than we have done since he left. No doubt about it whatsoever.

They're youngsters and are not ready, Suarez is great for us, Borini has yet to do much in his short stint before injury but I've yet to reach a verdict on him. We need a striker that is ready now, not relying on youth so much. But I do fail to see FSG investing largely in what we need, as you've said, the just don't seem willing to invest.

Yesil and Morgan are clearly not ready to make the step up. Suarez was being rested. Morgan and Yesil play predominately with the reserve team so as it stands we have 1 fully fit striker on the 1st team
