Not sure whether this is true or how good it is. On one hand it will prevent us splashing 35mil on the likes of AC but on the other it undermines BR a bit. Thoughts?

It's probably formalising what already happens anyway.

Another reason why Rafa Benitez will never be hired by FSG.

Does he have much say at Chelsea ?

None but if he was getting a long contract he would want full control, thats not having a pop at him, it is how he operates.

I think the days of managers being given total control of transfers are over with te money involved these days wrong decisions can finish a club.

I think assassdi was the first signing by this committee and look where he is now. stupid idea.

too many cooks

I don't agree with this committee but you can hardly claim managers are perfect in the transfer market.

Nothing new there in terms of the 'comitee' as Rodgers had negotiated that arrangement when he accepted the job in the first place.
However I welcome the announcement of a move away from trying to apply moneyball to football. Now if they finance the purchase of quality as hinted by Rodgers recently we can all hope for a push for 4th place next season, and maybe just maybe FSG will survive and prosper at LFC after all
