What purpose would our transfer committee serve if Rodgers had full control?

All that needs asking is..... With that squad is the manager getting the best out of them possible?

For me the answer is no. That is enough. It was a nice experiment that looks good on paper and has all the nice warm and noble things that football should be about but the fact is it failed and we are treading water at best.

As others have pointed out- a WINNING manager the calibre of Klopp will unlikely come up again to fit our cycle, and the guy knows the German league (and all it's uncovered gems) like very few. With us hardly pitching for players on the top rung it is about as good a fit as we are ever likely to get.

So I am expecting Brendan and his committee to be here for next season!

It's no use Klopp being an expert in the german league if the committee sign players that he doesn't want. And taking your team from 2nd down to 10th is not what I would call a "winning" manager.

Presuming he would accept the committee before putting pen to paper which is a stretch.

However, it's a good point made for 18 months or more by many here and adds to why the broom needs using from top to bottom.

But you would call Rodgers that?

If last season didn't happen, would the anti-BR fans still want him out? When he took over we had just finished 8th, so is 5th (possibly 4th?) this season really that bad? It's progress....

The reason I want to leave last season out of the equation is because we over performed due to a low workload, therefore raising fans expectations for this year. If FSG wanted steady progress when looking at a level playing field, he has delivered, has he not? He improved on Dalglish by finishing 7th and now he has us in 5th place banging on the door of the top 4. Considering we've not won the league for more than 25 years, people's expectations are not very realistic at the moment.

Are you trying to manage people's expectations Darclord ?


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Nothing at all wrong with managing people's expectations when they are being unrealistic.

If expectation exceeds the owners ability to deliver should we all settle for that?
