Does Rodgers deserve another season.

[Tony Moanero]

It's not a case of 'deserving' another season, it's a case of we can't risk another season with him.

Why?

[skend04]

Why?

Because he's not a very good manager.

[Tony Moanero]

Because he's not a very good manager.

Based on what?

[thompsonsnose]

Based on what?

Recruitment.

In game tactics, or lack thereof.

Poor man management.

Directionless.

[Gym Beglin]

Why?

Because no great player, in their right mind, will look at this 'project' and want to sign up.

 

Manager who hasn't won anything.

Most senior player is Martin Skrtel and Kolo Toure.

Captained by Jordan Henderson.

Both our top scorers, combined, have less league goals than Charlie Austin, who's about to get relegated.

Pay less wages than our rivals.

 

 

You tell me at what point a top player goes "that sounds great, I'm in".

[ratcatcher]

Directionless.

 

What a load of bollocks.

Club policy is to recruit smarter ie players 25 or under. But rodgers has to carry the can

In game tactics or lack of. He changed them 3 times in the semi final alone. But, that's becaus ehe got it wrong apparently. And besides, he shouldnt be changing tactics so often. Oh, wait!

Poor man management. Most of the people saying this would have benitez back in a heartbeat. He wasnt known for man management. Torres after scoring a hat trick anyone?

Directionless. WTF?

Doesnt matter if you have a manager who has won everything if the owners arent going to flash the cash.

 

Is rodgers in charge of the club's cheque book now then?

[xerxes]

Club policy is to recruit smarter

I agree. But are Ayre and Brendan smarter than their competitors?

We won the semifinal? Fuck, must have missed that.

[Gym Beglin]

We're dead in the water with Rodgers at the helm. He can't convince the player he 'developed', Sterling, to sign a new contract. The thought of staying at the club is so bleak, that he can't bring himself to sign a £100,000 a week contract at age 20.

 

There's a fundamental and crippling flaw to the whole plan, and it's that the manager isn't properly assessing the club and it's shortcomings. He just bangs on about "it's Liverpool Football Club, you either want in or you don't".

 

That's all well and good, it's a lovely sentiment, but it's totally shafting us when the wrong type of players are on our shopping list and we get to the end of the transfer window and we're bringing in shite like Balotelli.

 

We're not a big club, not even close. And we need a manager to slap us around the face and remind us that we last won the title before Coutinho, Sterling, Sakho, Ibe and Markovic were born. In 2020, which isn't that long away, it'll have been 30 years since we last won the title. That's not 'a blip', that's fucking mental.

 

You look at the likes of Auxerre, who last won the French title in 1994, how 'big' are they now?

Or Sampdoria, who last won Serie A in 1990. Footballing giants...

 

One of the best things to happen to this club was Istanbul in 2005.

It's totally skewed reality, acceptance of where we're at.

Who would you replace Rodgers with?

 

No great manager, in their right mind, would look at FSG's project and want to sign up, surely?

We are a small club in all but name.

Quite a few managers would fancy taking on a club with the eighth biggest income in Europe, and the biggest budget in the EL.

 

They might even suggest that winning the EL, and with it gaining CL qualification, a realistic objective.

Why is 'great' the benchmark?

[ratcatcher]

We won the semifinal? Fuck, must have missed that.

 

Clearly you did miss something. Just like the fact I never said anything about winning it. Just where the fuck did you get that from?

Ok Fred. Carry on.

Did you get that from the Forbes list or somewhere else, seeing as you do more back flips than tom daley?

[ratcatcher]

Ok Fred. Carry on.

 

Ok bert. But Id suggest you dont bother any more.

[xerxes]

Deloitte.

 

Comment on what you understand, which is football, not football finance.

[skend04]

So your comments about changing tactics 3 times in the match are basically redundant.

No, they were in response to someone who suggested he didnt change them.

Oh, I believe I got a nibble there!

So he changed tactics and what then? You telling me they didn't work?

Seriously, that is the example you give of his GOOD in-game tactics? Fuck me.

[Pureblood]

There was that time he flipped the triangle.
