KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum BR or FSG?

It looks like the relationship between BR and FSG is falling apart.

I can sense in his press conferences that BR is getting frustrated with FSG, he said today the decision not to sign Willian was not a footballing one. ie meaning it was decision based on finances and as BR stated, the club belongs to FSG and they can decide whether to pay the amount wanted for a player.

Like last window, where BR was assured that he could sign a striker if Carroll left, the same has happened with this window, Downing our left winger has left with no replacement.

BR warned FSG that we need to spend if we want to finish in the top 4.

I REALLY can't see FSG signing another player in this window, so we and BR have been totally ****** up the **** again by FSG.

I believe in BR, I believe with the right players he can win trophies for us, he has got us playing the most attractive football for a w hile, his football is a hell of a lot better than the stuff we saw under Kenny (2nd time), Roy Hodgson, Rafa, Houiller, Souness.

Really? I sensed nothing. You must be a Jedi.

he certainly seems peed off . that said BR we have enough attacking players..br should be looking at midfield and centre back

You can't tell in BR press conferences that he is sending FSG messages?

1) It was not a footballing decision to not sign Willian

2) We need to spend money to crack the top 4 this year

This is telling FSG that BR is not happy with the transfer policy this year.

good point KP.

I think BR might be feeling the heat. He probably got the job with a sales pitch saying you don't need to spend millions... you need to focus on quality and style. Didn't he submit some 160 page dossier? Now he's probably switched tack and saying need to spend big.

We don't know how BR got the job, but at the time he was a VERY sought after manager, he had worked miracles with Swansea, got them promoted and kept them in the Prem.

I suspect it is the other way round, FSG made promises to BR which they are not keeping.

Either way we will not know what really happened until BR releases his autobiography in another 30 years time.

Haha! Why would Brendan need to send coded messages through the media? He can just tell them directly.

FSG know they need to spend money to get into the top 4. Haha No $hit! Maybe something personal was going on with Brendan. Or maybe it was transfer related. Doesn't mean he's now at odds with FSG.

I'm sorry Welsh_Wizard, but are you sure? I hadn't even heard of him... and miracles is pushing it a bit. He also flopped at Reading.

I think they probably both played each other. The unveiling press conference was embarrassing because there was an obvious lack of clarity about the director of football issue.

Well the only reason Swansea are in the Prem is down to BR.
he got them in it, and kept them up in the first season (where most promoted teams go straight back down).

He then gave Laudrup something to build on.

The next ten day are going to be make or break as far as FSG go.
