I am merely pointing out your inaccuracies in defining the transfer committee


Hunter and Rodgers worked together at Reading for a number of years, they knew each other very well. Rodgers has spoken about his good friendship with him a number of times. That was the point I was making, he's not going to go against his mates.

There's no mention of Edwards on any official document, the only names mentioned are Driscoll and Davies who are heads of Performance and Analysis, which is apparently Edwards role according to a 2 year old document, Edwards hasn't been mentioned since his appointment by Comolli; who along with just about all senior staff were sacked.


Why would he not go against his mate? Do you agree with all of yours all the time? And are you in this committee and can varufy what goes on?

This has gone completely off-topic. Someone made the point that Rodgers was having a showdown with the committee and going against them by not signing any of their recommendations, I made the point that he wasn't going to go against his mates who are the committee.

no mention of him.


no mention of Ian Ayre there either. Neither are Fallows or Hunter.

There is no sign that Driscoll and Davies are involved with anything other than the 1st team. Thank you for pointing that out

My original point with this thread was that I believe Rodgers could on course for a showdown with whoever is involved in signing talent, that could be the commitee who suggest some younger players for the club to develop or it could be whoever comes up with the values of the players targeted.

The person who's job is on the line is Rodgers, so he needs to fight his corner if he thinks he's not being backed by the club.

Not sure. If we do not qualify for CL, he can now say, it's because he didn't get his targets. Not signing any top player might actually help him keep his job. Win win for him and FSG, and lose lose for LFC and fans.

Fallows - Head of recruitment - Ex-Man City - Also good friends with Rodgers prior to coming here.
Ayre - in charge of signing the players up.
And im good friends with him because I met him in Costa! Please
