Then why didn't we sign a centre half. Was that FSGs fault too?? We would have ended with an inexperienced talented 23 year old who would makes errors initially though inexperience. FSG would not allow him to sign a quality defender in his late 20s - that is what we needed.

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.
No, you said Costa would have been an example to younger players which isn't even close to being accurate. Brendan Rodgers was on the transfer committee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't like Costa myself and glad we din't sign him. My point is that a player like this is so much more developed than the players around that they would basically be there in training tutoring them. This is good but no one would sign themselves up for this. Brendan was 1 of 6 members correct.

Yes, but that means he has input, he is also on record as saying no player comes into LFC without his approval. You cannot absolve him of any blame.

You are clearly in denial. FSG backed him well enough in the transfer market. Change the record already, he's gone.

Liverpool are back where they started because they wouldn't put their hand in their pockets and replace our star players we lost. We were more interested in buying playing with resale value. Brendan has payed the price, and we are too.

Brendan Rogers prior to Everton:
‘In my time here, too many goals have come from defensive mistakes’.
All you need to say. Nothing new under the sun, and in football success starts from the back. Something he never could get a grip of.

Can't even make up his mind. One hand says FSG setup BR to fail and it's their fault. Next says they're right to sack him. My condolences to him.

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.
Complete crap!!! You just can't argue that all our signings are bad players - or have become bad overnight. We have some very good players but we're not getting the best out of them - far from it. We look turgid no matter who is out on the field. We struggle to beat Carlisle and Sion and that's with full internationals on the pitch. We don't seem to know how to serve Benteke or use Firmino - and they are not bad players. At some point it has to come down to managing and coaching. We've tried a myriad of formations and combinations - and they all look very average. We've changed our whole defence this season - looks like the same one from last season. We've signed experienced midfielder - same result. We strengthened our entire striking core - still struggle to score. Spot on.
