The worst some of us were thinking seems to be coming true in all departments:
Owners- none of us know for sure what their plans are. What is certain is that they don't understand football and how to put together a winning team.
Manager - out of his depth. the best case was that he had potential and would learn but he's simply not showing enough tactical acumen to get results in big games.
Playing Squad - simply lacks a good distribution of quality across the team. We have some good attacking players in Sturridge, Sterling & Coutinho... but therafter there's not much else to shout about and the defence, including the goalkeeper, is just shocking.
BR has to take the blame in my book.

He signed up to their strategy and told them that he could work with that strategy to deliver results. He then signed off the purchases of a load of inferior quality players at inflated prices. Basically, he put his own interests and ego above the interests of the club. Otherwise he should've turned the job down or walked away at some point. He should've put pressure on FSG just like Rafa did on those other cowboys.

If you have integrity and self-respect you should be big enough to admit if something is too big for you. If he genuinely believed he could do the job then fair enough, but then at some point he should either resign or admit to his mistakes. Even last season when we nearly won the league, many could see it was a freak because we conceded in excess of 50 goals I think.

If it was not Rodgers it would be some other young manager. Did you see any Van Gaal types looking for it. I don't see a new manager making a big difference. They will still get told to buy young prospects. We are 5th best in the League at the moment at that is where we are at as a club. Do people think we have more money to spend that Chelsea, City, Utd and Arsenal have? If you are then you are dreaming

Mourinho spent less than BR since his arrival by the way and we were supposedly better than Chelsea last season.

As I said, if he knew he wasn't up to it or if he knew then that the FSG strategy was flawed then he shouldn't have taken it. Martinez continues to claim he turned the job down.
Having taken the job, he has to take significant responsibility for failing to deliver.
We've spent enough money... but just not spent it wisely. That is plain for everyone to see. Even without spending, the defensive tactics have been non-existant.
