Taking this from the story in the International Business Times dated Tuesday although I am not sure how old these quotes from Rogers are.

Seriously who thinks this inspires anything for next season?




What the manager has said

Rodgers has insisted Sterling is going to stay at Anfield while he hopes to sign a top scorer.


"We won't have the numbers coming in like we had last summer. If we can make a couple of specific signings that will hopefully give us a little boost," Rodgers said.

"We couldn't replace what was lost in the team last year. We've brought in some really good young players and they will improve and develop. Every team in the summer will look to improve again and we're no different."

This is an absolute train wreck. A little boost! Is this guy serious? There are at least 10 who need showing the door and he is talking like we need 2 or 3 to be challenging.

All we can hope for looking at that statement as any guidance for the summer window is we tread water. Enough to make your blood boil. The delusion as to how good he thinks we look in stark contrast to what we have become is breathtaking.

So we finish two places below top 4 and you think the whole team needs replacing even the young ones who are improving. Delusional.

I'm as disappointed as anyone in our present situation - but I'm tired of all the overly simplistic and unrealistic statements pertaining to FSG. To say they don't care, are not arsed, are willingly destroying the club is just facile and not helpful. It isn't that basic - and to say so is just lazy analysis.

FSG are professional sports franchise people - and their members have millions tied up in the project. It's not a case of them not caring or deliberately destroying the club - it's a case of them having and sticking to a philosophy that they believe in, one that isn't working because football is so different from American club sports. They believe passionately in their model, which for a time looked like it wasn't working in their baseball management until they won the world series and surprised everyone. They believe they can do that again - they believe that they almost did this last year.

Cry as we may - I think us Liverpool fans have to recognise this fact. This management group would not have paid off our debt if they didn't care. They just have a different way of caring than the rest of us - and time will see them prevail in their methods or adapt to the sport.
