Lets talk sense.

(No smart arz comments please)

Klopp, Ancilotti and Rafa are all seemingly available. Every one a winner In europe and all have won the title, you couldn't argue if FSG puled the plug o BR and appointed any one of those I have listed. However, what we MUST consider is that LFC dont seem to be in the market for £40M players and the model is about youth and potential.

With FSG model would the three managers listed come to Anfield? All are used to having money to buy who they want and all would want top players. I wouldn't mind any of them but I dont think they would come under FSG current philosophy.

If neither are available under the current FSG model then its probably better to stick with BR, but what that brings I have no fkn idea!

Main points to look at for me.

Signings made under Rodgers - the quality of player brought the club under Rodgers has been abysmal to say the least. In his 3 years in charge, 24 players have been bought for £211,550,000. Coutinho and Sturridge have been the only really good buys and Can has shown huge potential despite being played out of position.

Can't be trusted with money.
----------

Treatment and man management of the senior players in the squad - Rodgers seems to have bombed out the players who had the expo and seniority in the squad. His treatment of Carragher in his last season was nothing short of disgusting in the way he benched him only to realise he was still the best defender we had when he had to bring him back.

Pepe Reina wasn't the keeper he had been but he was and still is twice the keeper Mignolet is but was bombed out because he and the manager fell out.

Same can be said about

Agger
Gerrard
----------

Our defence is and has been diabolical under Rodgers and shows no sign of improving anytime soon. A defensive coach needs to be appointed and a good run of form in the middle of this season changes nothing.
----------------

Team selections and tactics - it seems that the manager doesn't know his best team or how to set them up. I've seen people say "those 2 can't play together" about pairings in defence and centre mid. The players that have been signed under this manager???


Over view - I'm bemused at what I've witnessed this season after having such a good season last year. We lost Suarez to Barca and Sturridge to injury but the £110m that was spent last summer was wasted on cráp and I think the manger needs to go.

But surely he knew that was a possibility? He knew he was losing Suarez, and he knew Sturridge's injury history. Ok, maybe you don't expect him to be gone for so long with it, but it's hardly a surprise to lose him at all.

How many times this season have I heard the phrase 'Liverpool start the game today without a recognised striker' or similar? It's ridiculous. The Balotelli gamble backfired epically... What was it, one league goal for Balo? That is abysmal!

I think had Studge been injured all last season and fit all this season, he'd be viewed as the long term solution

We probably would have gone 7th to 4th to 4th.

Chittty timing is all

Only Klopp could turn things around for Liverpool. Under performed this season yes but As an Arsenal fan if he were to be given time and money at Liverpool I'd be very worried.

A poor season does not taint seemingly impossible seasons he had with Dortmund with tight finance. Unfortunately, the bully Munchen won in the end. At Liverpool he's have more financial freedom I suppose.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is where you are absolute wrong.

Klopp had enough money to buy the last two seasons. He failed with all his buys.

I've been quite tough on Klopp recently

He's a very good manager, but he seems to be held up as a messiah and people seem to completely ignore the negatives of his career. He has all the same negatives as managers people want sacked. He got relegated. Took a top side to the lower half of the table. Bought badly. 'Only' succeeded when some dutch clown wrecked the only competition he had for the title, hasn't won since they recovered.

I'd be happy to have him manage my side, but there doesn't seem to be any rational assessment of him. What almost looks like a like for like replacement has become replacing dogshiite with Jesus.

I agree BR did kinda walk into a brick wall..

However this Transfer Committee set up and concept needs looking at as a whole, as we have missed out on far too many players.

But saying that we have lost some heavy earners from the wage bill and if sterling goes, then that would be very shrewd business...

Very similar to Rafa IMHO!

When Rafa went, it was the right time for him to go I thought. He put the war with the owners before the tactics in his final season and half, everything was in public, he was unprofessional on countless occasions and it was right for everyone to start afresh!

However everyone seems to think of his first few years and nothing else!

Maybe he has recovered now? Maybe not? But my point being is that there is a lot of selective thinking going on round here

Rodgers' delusion is infectious it seems.

Carry on. Enjoy.
