KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FSG are to blame

Brendan has been set up to fail. They restricted the profile of the players he could sign, he didn't even have full control of some signings and they couldn't retain our best players.

Look at Moreno today he was dreadful. Brendan's first choice target was Bertrand.

He wanted Costa, we ended up eventually getting Balotelli.

He wanted Sanchez, we ended up getting a load of unproven players.

These examples might not have been FSG's fault but Brendan was palmed off with 3rd and 4th choice players, or players he didn't even particularly want in the first place.

Moreno (who was dreadful today), Aspas, Ilori, Markovic, Origi all committee chosen buys.

FSG made the right decision to sack Brendan because he couldn't make us successful. I think just about all managers would struggle with FSG's ways of working. All they're interested in is maximising profit.


Brendan played players out of position? He didn't even choose most of
them who played out position. Markovic at wingback. he didn't choose to sign him in the first place.

Top teams have top established players at their prime. We sell them and expect to overachieve. And in some cases can't even hold on to them past the age of 20.

We didn't get players like Costa and Co who you mentioned because they didn't want to sign for LFC and having BR as manager isn't really a draw for top players.

He is just upset Rodgers has gone

It's not Brendan's fault. We're not a top club because FSG will sign barely any established proven quality players.

If Costa had come he would have been there schooling our younger players. Forgot Costa, how many decent players have we got in their prime? Hardly any.

The only reason we have kept Sturridge is because of his injury record.

FSG will cash in on our top players and because there are no top players at our club no other top players will come.

Yes disappointing start to the season. Defensively been poor. We are still well in contact with the top 4.

People will say he has had close to £300m to spend and has had 3 years but it doesn't tell the true story whatsoever.

He wasn't given a fair chance. And no manager will be unless FSG change/remove their restrictions.

A lot of these defensive mistakes are down to inexperience. Who's fault is this? FSG's, because they don't sign enough older established players to support the young talent.

Then why didn't we sign a centre half. Was that FSGs fault too??

If he was a decent manager, he would have utilised what we have a lot better.

Have you ever watched Diego Costa? He is a disgrace, diving, moaning, spitting, constantly trying to get players sent off, always acting the hard man.

What the hell could he teach younger players apart from how to be a total c***?

3 full seasons isn't a fair chance?

aside from that you can see the point I am trying to make. Doesn't matter how long we gave Brendan, selling our best players and having the committee signing unproven, talented youngsters will not make us successful. He was never given the conditions to succeed.
