KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Anyone have any reasonable explanations?

hmmm not one for loyalty is he tho. prob more loyal to his dentist

Maybe, the end of season review meeting was just 'that'; a meeting to discuss the season just gone. Based on what BR told them, a decision on whether to keep him is unlikely to have been reached there and then...it may not even have been on the agenda at that particular meeting. Gordon & Werner will surely have wanted time to discuss it with the rest of the board before coming to a conclusion......

.....my guess is that BR isn't out of the woods yet.

Think back to the " day of long knives " in 2012. FSG flew over and went through a phase of sackings, 1 piece of deadwood at a time, culminating in the long overdue sacking of the manager. With a bit of luck, this is repeating itself.

Anybody can change staff and that's not the issue IMO. It is more about the timing, ie, it came after a meeting with FSG. He should not be consulting the owners to get rid of his staff. Yes, there are a lot of question marks but all this look weird.

Posted this in another thread.
Personally I don't think Brendan has thrown them under the bus, I think that at the beginning he was able to pick his team from his limited experience. It was an experiment that may have lasted too long but it's being fixed now and it seems that FSG or Mike Gordon have identified staff they think would improve the side.
They've said to Brendan "We believe in you but we think you need more experienced coaching staff behind you. We're going to get rid of a couple of them and bring others in. If you don't like it you know where the door is."


"I was hoping to see a new manager too after everything. It didn't happen, alright move on but FSG are showing that they are changing things which is a very good sign. It seems like they believe in Brendan to me but don't believe he's being give the right components behind him to be successful.
Now, they are putting all accountability in his hands and if it works, brilliant, we haven't gone and wasted 10m on a new manager + their wages that may or may not have made the top 4 and be in the same position again.
If it doesn't work then Brendan will go, a new manager will come in immediately and there won't be any uncertainty surrounding the club in the off season which can only be a good thing.

Some decent links are coming out regarding players so let's not moan before the window even opens."

Isn't Pascoe godfather to one of BRs children or the other way round?

Either way they are both very close so I cant see BR first option being to get rid of Pascoe or Marsh.


I suspect this action is to force BR to resign.

If this is FSG method of getting rid of a manager we are a laughing stock.

Perhaps they know BR will want his contract paying up in full hence the reluctance to sack him.

I note that when Kenny was sacked by FSG he did not take any severance pay.

No chance

I reckon they asked him to resign but he didn't because he's going through a messy divorce and needs a pay off. So they start moving around him instead in the hope that he'll quit.

Forget transfer committee, we're looking at Management Committee next.

Not much. I also don't claim to be in the know with 'sources' and make wild claims. I told him I'd do a thread praising him if he was right but he's just full of shitte quite obviously. I did want him to be right though.

I will go with Dunc's line which is they were forced departures and the new coaches will be the same. Rogers hasn't done this FSG have.

Agree with you Darcus I don't think he is out of the woods yet either and it would be very likely he's has the signings/transfers taken from him completely anyhow, so those we have made wouldn't indicate one way or another.

If Pako does come in it maybe that they got turned down by the targets they had, have kept Rogers for now but if as expected it goes pearshaped early he will be there to step in?

A lot of very strange goings on for sure.

If they've kept him because they couldn't get anyone else because they're tight fukkers and probably wouldn't pay it change their policies, forcing staff on Rodgers is as moronic as not sacking him. It's doomed to failure and will hurt their investment.

If they want rid just fukking sack him don't cock around like this!
