KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FSG Failing Again? Taking Us For A Ride?

Didn't they once make a statement about searching the world for the best manager for the job and ended up with a shortlist of Martinez and Rodgers?

After sacking BR they made a statement about the search beginning which sounded like they hadn't decided who they wanted. Yet if speculation is to be believed Klopp is already their choice. Is it simply a kneejerk ( a word we like to use here) reaction from them to protect themselves? i.e. keep the fans off their back by appointing a seemingly popular name. Isn't Ancelotti a safer pair of hands? He certainly has the stronger CV.

On the other hand, they may have sounded out Ancelotti and not received a positive response. Will we ever know the truth?

Perhaps it's not for us to ask silly questions. Maybe our job as ever is simply to sit back and watch things unfold... for better or for worse... and give our tuppence worth on here and beat each other up from time to time.

Oh well...

Let's just wait and see what happens

Well, if they want Klopp and talks are progressing then I'm happy with that. But as we all know, if there's a way they can fukk it up, they'll fukk it up!

That's how I feel Wilks, they seem hell bent on dropping clanger after clanger and then not changing the problems that they have caused. The latest being this damn committee and it not being disbanded.

What are the checks and balances for buying the worst players possible and all agreeing?

Well Klopp didn't like the project in the summer with some saying he wanted control. If the committee is remaining, why would he join now?

I'm hopeful he'll come in because I think it'll show some intent on our part and I think he'll do well but I can't get too excited just for FSG to do something stupid. I've also seen a report that says Bayern might try and scupper it too.

FSG cash in on our top players and buy cheaper unproven players. Unless this changes, that is why we will won't become a top team.

We will stay comfortably top half but never get back anywhere near the elite band of teams. That goes for any manager in charge of us until this changes.

Some articles saying Klopp is demanding the last word on signings.

It still won't convince some that he wasn't fully to blame. And if that is what is holding Klopp back then I don't blame him.

A few comments on this article, Lallana was signed at 25m when he was 26, Lovren at 20m when he was 25, Benteke at 32m when he was 25, that is significant money for players above 24, no? Regarding the committee, nobody knows what will happen with them as it will depend on the manager. Why throw the baby out with the bathwater, that would be stupid? Why not wait for the manager to decide who who wants and who he doesn't?

If Rodgers wanted to sign Ashley Williams, Bertrand etc, he probably had a plan of making another Swansea, I mean, I am as much excited with these players as I am with Joe Allen. I am convinced that the big FUp was the appointment and then continuing by putting in a committee.
