Evans and Barrett have confirmed that there was money there to be spent on deadline day and we fucked up our target(s) the treatment of Carroll by Rodgers is well documented whether it FSG or Rodgers who were looking to cash in on Agger I don't for 'fact' - but he was offered to City

a director of football and a David Dein-esque CEO is what FSG need to implement to give stability at the club they cannot run the club from overseas and they cannot run the club by commitee appoint key people who you will then entrust to run the club based on your guidelines that Rodgers thinks he can manipulate all aspects of the transfer side of things is defo shades of Rafa and i don't like it all Rodgers can expect is to be backed by the board - and equally the board should back him - which they did (Joe Allen and Borini#) and were going to back him further given that they were prepared to spend £15m on Sturridge* [which Rodgers vetoed cos he wanted Dempsey] i think FSG are going about things in the right way and Rodgers created the whole transfer mess himself this summer with his treatment of Carroll (seeing him as a cash cow) - and also trying to cash in Agger to free up some more funds letting Carroll go 'early' to West Ham was brinksmanship on Rodgers part and hopefully something in hindsight he realises was wrong i like Rodgers' ideas on the pitch and i think he defo has a plan as to how he wants us to play - but he should leave the boardroom stuff well alone there as he will only lose *to my mind £15m for Sturridge wasn't a ridiculous price and he would've fitted in well on the right of a front 3 #Borini is the one i don't get - what does Rodgers see in him?

Suarez left forward Borini centre forward Gerrard right forward

Xerxes talks sense

SOS going about something heavy handed again? what a surpise i agree that there should be a CEO in charge who has a clue about football and who is a red - but i don't think this letter was the best approach

fact

+1

looks like a bold move by Southampton fair play to them

i <3 Alonso and his magnificent beard

this question needs to be answered cos it's fucking doing my head in that we have gold lettering on the front and white numbers on the back!!!

main reason i don't want to sell Agger is that we don't have a ready made replacement i think Kelly will make a good CB but he didn't get as many prem games as i thought he would last season - so he would need time to adjust etc time we can't really afford... saying that if we get a £20m+ bid Agger will go

Sahin, Walcott & Johnson would all be great additions don't fancy selling Agger to finance the deals tho...

what channel is this being shown on - LFC TV?

as with JT Saurez would've fared much better at a proper trial with a lawyer etc - than at a secretive FA tribunial unfortunately we can't really go after Fergie and the Mancs until we have some success again - otherwise it's just seen as sour grapes

Joe Allen and Borini would be good signings Dempsey would not also no point in letting Carroll go anywhere at the minute still need a right sided forward if Borini to play down the middle of a 4-3-3

would love to think that the Glaziers are getting desperate - but they'll get this finance no problem

not overly bothered as we need to sign someone for the wings rather than centre mid...

i see we are being linked to Adam Johnson we should have bought him 2-3 seasons ago when he first signed for City good player and just what the right wing needs

it would be interesting to see Hodgson's win ratio compared to Kenny's...

with AVB out of the running LVG is the outstanding candidate just appoint LVG as the manager without the DoF bollox

that sounds far too sensible an idea for our club unfortunately the quote below is slightly worrying: if we wanted AVB - who in my opinion would have been a fantastic fit here - we should've pulled out all the stops to get him FAIL

i agree that if LVG is a serious candidate he should just be made manager without any DoF (or whatever they want to call that role) only person i would want to see working under a DoF in the Barca stylee is AVB

Woy was appointed because the existing board didn't want KK to come back as it would mean the same sort of problems off field as they had experienced with Rafa Woy - as we have seen with the England job - is a 'yes' man

it's the payment structure that was key to the Aqualani deal - nothing upfront cos they owed us money for Riise then 5m Euro the next year and so on until 20m Euro paid off with Johnson we were still owed £9m i think from Crouch obviously the money being made available that summer by G&H was nil and any money made on Alonso went to pay off the debt payment that year it really was the writing on the wall and why things escalated to get the 2 cunts out of our club throughout that season Rafa was put in a very difficult situation but he really should have spoken out more against what was going on (in my opinion) - opposing fans to this day do not really understand the sheer extent of the fuck up going on off field while G&H were in charge in 2010 we were 1 day away from administration FFS!!

have no idea how FSG think that Martinez can get more out of the squad than KK did we'll be lucky to finish 8th next season with him in charge
