I've just read it and although I do agree with many of the things he has said, there are also some parts which are not quite accurate.
In regards to transfers; the owners didn't sign these players, nor did Ayre sign these players. It was Rodgers who sanctioned these deals. I'm not buying all this crap about him not having a say in the transfers. He chose these players, and if he didn't choose them then he is a fool for not speaking up about it as then it would expose the owners for who they really are. Nail on the fvcking head!!!

Excellent post Woolsey. its hard to disagree with your analysis.
Top4: You have a point but a strong manager would make sure he has the final say on all transfers. Could never imagine Alex Ferguson allowing the Glaziers tell him who to sign.
The problem is with the way the owners have set things up at LFC and their money pinching and their recruitment policy policy and their committee structure, etc, sacking Rodgers or any manager is like putting a sticking plaster on an ulcer, things will just continue to fester. There needs to be a complete change of approach, starting with the recruitment of quantity over quality. Had we spent that 212m on 4 - 5 top quality players we’d hardly be in the position we’re in now. Simply pointing the finger at Rodgers misses the real issue's afflicting LFC. One thing that is certain. There won't be another £100 Million to spend on the squad for a very, very long time.

Despite his poor showings recently, selling probably one of the only players that's actually a good player with the potential to be great doesn't sound a great plan.

Sterling has the potential to reach those figures, but it's not worth putting him on the market yet as he would only get around 20m at the moment.
There are other players who are surplus to requirements at the club -
Coates - 1-3m
Aspas - 4.6m
Alberto - 4-6m
Borini - 8m
Allen - 10m
Gerrard - 4-6m
Johnson - 6-8m

There's no Money in Jonno or Stevie given their contracts are up. Not up until the Summer, due to them playing in the EPL, no clubs would be able to start pre-contract agreements until around March/April either, so they could still demand a fee if we were to start negotiations with clubs now.

+1 He wasn't in a position to be a strong manager though with his CV was he and they would have known that. They clearly didn't want a Ferguson/Raffa type. He's not blameless (far from it) as others have rightly pointed out on the coaching, tactics and even sides fielded but there is a clear policy here (in regards transfers) that is failing woefully and it's not the manager who has implemented it. The way it's going we probably won't know how many of these guys he actually wanted until he leaves the job and writes a book! I'm just hoping he can turn it around in the coming few games.
