I think the first signs of his naivete were shown last season in the 2-0 home defeat to chelsea. Everyone knew chelsea were going to sit with 10bodies behind the ball and hit us on the counter but he still went gung-ho knowing a point was good enough.
I honestly pin most of the blame onto FSG and him. Most of the players in the team were signed by him, and despite our so called buy potential policy, we have spent close to like 200m last summer and look FAR worse than at any point last year. Benitez may have lost the plot towards the end of his reign but none of his sides were anyway near this bad despite spending far less. We definitely need someone to come in and sort out the defence cos if this goes on we'll be counting points from the bottom 3 not the top. Yeah that’s a reasonable summing of the situation, except I’d add that there are signs of frustration from Rodgers with the recruitment approach, you can see this when he uses words like "the process is broken” and when talking about players he’d targeted and; “were unable to get for various reasons” and when talking about targets; “I’m interested in quality rather than quantity”. When any manager talks openly in public like that about what’s going on around the recruitment processes you don’t have to be an Einstein to figure out he’s feeling somewhat frustrated. What I wonder are the “various reasons” he had in mind? and I wonder if he felt he was listened to when he asked for Quality, and then they went and brought in 9 prospects, including a fruit cake, a has been, an overpriced one season wonder, etc, etc. You can see and hear he’s totally [oops] off with the whole daft recruitment policy, and you have to say that’s down to FSG. Well, if he is so frustrated, maybe he should grow some balks like Pulis a resign, no? One thing I agree though, it is down to FSG, they are the ones who appointed BR, the buck does stop with them. Yeah, but then he did speak out as clearly as any manager could, and there is talk of Rodgers looking at Spain as a potential destination. For his own career sake I think he should do it sooner rather than later, as the constraints put upon him by FSG recruitment policy could well derail his career a lot sooner than he might think. For those calling for his head I’d suggest they think long and hard as to what FSG are like to replace him with...it won’t be a Jose Mourinho, thats for sure, probably some cheapskate unknown that’ll drop us through the rankings like a stone!

A few Daniel Levy signings you think here? What I think we have here, is that Ayre and the Committee won’t sanction any signing that breaks the FSG recruitment policy on either transfer fee or wage cost Probably right. Doesn't explain the Balo signing and not Remy? From an FSG view point I think it could explain it Balo will give you a much higher public persona than Remy even if not always for the right reasons. And PR is a key factor for FSG. I’d guess they rank it higher than winning the league cup for example. Wow, so FSG is buying players now and they wanted Balotelli because of his public, [oops] like persona, and you seem to be serious about this. FSG will probably buy Tom Cruise in the next window.

He has a point balotelli sells shirts Balotelli sells shirts, and to whom? Italians don't like him anymore, so would be interested to know who would buy his shirts. Did you buy one? I definitely won't.
