Either have him only do for what he is qualified for as a commercial/marketing Director or let him go.

He is as good in his current role as it was Purslow.

The way the club handled the Suarez case it was obvious that we needed a football brain running the club.

What ever happened to Brian Barwick wasn't he suppose to have been hired to assess the situation at the club by FSG?

It does make you wonder how all these quotes from Agger would be perceived by Mancini and the City management team.

I mean, how would we react if Sahin came out and blatantly said 'Well I would go to Liverpool if I had no choice but I'd rather go to Arsenal' or if Dempsey said 'My priority is to stay at Fulham, but if the club want to sell me then I don't want to stay where I'm not wanted'. To blatantly say that you'd only go to City if you were unwanted at your current club must surely make City think twice - the fans on Blue Moon are all pretty annoyed and the reaction seems to be if he wants to stay there then good luck to him (to put it mildly).

TBH if i was at LFC and i wanted to stay and the manager wanted me to stay i'd be saying the same things as well. As long as the manager wanted me that would be all that mattered. Some board Mmember or MD wouldn't force me out the club as long as i had the backing of the manager.

Good on Agger IMO

I totally agree mate. Got nothing but respect for Agger and hope he stays. It seems crazy to sell him at all - let alone less than a week before the season starts.

But what I'm saying is that it seems strange that City actually still want to sign him after - in effect - being relegated to second choice. They are PL champions so surely can find a centre half who is keen on playing for them? Irrespective of whether we want to sell him or not. I dunno if I'm expressing myself that well, but I know that I wouldn't want us to sign a player whose heart wasn't in playing for Liverpool. Hopefully Mancini and co feel the same about City.

Lee Bowyer springs too mind.

Eh?

You probably think that I'm being a bit of a WUM but I'm serious in saying that the club is testing my patience and have been for a while.

I don't think you're being a wum, but you are being dramatic.

If as quotes suggest both Agger and Rodgers don't want the move, why is Ayre/FSG pushing for the move to go through it just makes no sense

Pressure from our owners to cash in on an injury prone player before he's past his peak would be my guess.

[souliv]

But this is a player who is critical to the way Rodgers wants to play from a football perspective it is completely stupid.

That seems the most sensible suggestion.

[Fredo]

Not sure Agger is injury prone though. He was injured a lot in his first 2/3 seasons but then he got better. Played the majority of games last season I think. I can understand the logic in that but we're far better having a player of his quality playing 80% of the games on our books than one playing for our rivals as it merely strengthens them.

[badpiggy]

What was his main injury? Didn't he have a back problem that kept ****ing him up for a good while?
