It works both ways, there is a massively high percentage of managers who struggle to get work if they are sacked, with LFC being so high profile that could apply to Rodgers.

His buys haven't been to bad at all, but he needs to be given the chance to make his own team a bit more. 26m on allen and borini. At the moment, they're worth half that amount only.

We are not getting Mourinho, his salary is 10m a year, very few managers would have the balls to take the job, Brendan Rodgers put his career at risk joining us, he could have stayed at Swansea where PL survival would suffice, I think he deserves 2 seasons barring an absolute disaster. I am fully aware that we are not getting Mourinho, or anyone who demands such high wages...I am just saying that we had a chance to get things right, to get in a top manager and give him 50 million to spend, but instead we appointed a fan favourite, followed by an unproven manager and gave them 130 million to spend. I am positive that had we offered any top class manager a 4 year contract worth 10 mil a year and a transfer kitty of 60 million, they would have agreed to join us. Instead we spent 30 million more than that and got 2 managers that, let's face we all knew would not win us the PL within 3 years time. I will support BR as long as he is the manager, but I fear that he is not the right man for us. I hope that I am proven wrong though, I really do want what is best for LFC.

Which top managers do you think were available and willing to work under FSG?
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

I don't know, but it is not my job to know, it is theirs. However I am absolutely positive that their were at least 1 or 2 big names available. Furthermore, when you offer managers a 10 mil a year pay package and a 60 mil transfer kitty, it's amazing how quickly they do become available...

I discussed our current plight the last few days with a few supporters of quality EPL teams and one thing they all agreed on is that with the back 5 we have and Lucas arguably making 6 we shouldn't be losing games like we are if at all. They are all in good form. A mate who is an Arsenal fan of many years went as far as saying we shouldn't be losing games full stop with that 6!
If you concede 2 or 3 goals with a world class striker you are virtually guaranteed to lose let alone without one!
We appeared to be grinding forward and Villa may have been a blip it really might. But Saturday wasn't about not having a proper finisher, it was about being wrong tactically as a team and how the back line played the whole game. That is down to the manager or players ignoring instruction.
It has certainly knocked my confidence in him and when I look at the team we are definitely under achieving at this point striker short or not.

Right, so as that will never happen with FSG it kinda rules out any 'top' managers getting their hands dirty with a long term project.

I think you and your mates are spot on..I really don't think we are set up properly and that, as you said, boils down to either the manager or players not following instructions and to be frank I doubt it's the players. This is what has me worried. As you pointed out, with Skittles, Agger, Enrique, Johnson, Lucas and Reina in goal, we really shouldn't be conceding as many as we have....

If you look at things, you'll see that not only have they spent the equivalent of that, but about 30 million more than that without any real results.
