Brendan Rodgers

[Tatterdemalion]

How do you know HE signed them.

because he's said as much.

[red g]

Brendan is on record saying he has the final say on all transfers. If he doesn't want to sign a particular player he doesn't have to.

Not that simple is it....He could have tried to buy several great players, Committee say no...then Give him the likes of Balotelli or no-one, Brendan says we will take a chance but i think they are ****e and is proved right?

And do you think him saying it wasn't me who signed him would send a great
signal to the player? or his bosses would be over impressed?

That was a £16m investment. Show me another £300m turnover business where that doesn't result in the sack.

Its a committee process. Or at least the bad ones are.

I've come into this thread to see the posters I need to avoid in the future. Some familiar names and some news ones.

Would 100% keep Rodgers.

Next season is bound to be epic.

Under these restraints the top managers or players won't be turning up anytime soon. Best to keep some continuity.

Jürgen klopp wont be joining a team that sells its best players every other season. That's exactly what happened to bvb.

Hhmm, sounds like contrived bollocks to me - the committee works very well according to Brendan:

Rodgers must secure the agreement of the committee that a player meets the club’s requirements and is worth pursuing.

However, the boss says the input of Ayre, Fallows and Edwards is a help rather than a hindrance in the recruitment process.

“Obviously, I am involved heavily in the identification of the player,” Rodgers told the ECHO.

“The principle idea when I first came in was that like any manager you will have the first call on a player and the last call.

“That’s the call on whether he’s good enough to continue to look at and try to organise a deal and the last call to say yes or no.

“There is a big part that goes on in between. In modern football you need to trust other people to do the work. That’s something we do here and that’s why we have had the success we’ve had.

“The finer details of that are left to Ian who does a terrific job and our other guys in that field who will go through the contracts. I am aware of where the situation is at right the way through the process.

“We will never bring in a player here who the manager doesn’t want in. That’s a great credit to the owners and the other people at the club.

“We work very closely together – it’s worth stressing that. It’s key that we are very much one club.

“We are really preparing for next season. I’ve had some very good meetings with our recruitment team. We are very much together as one.”

I've posted this a few times but unfortunately it doesn't seem to sink in all that well.

He's spent £215 million in the three seasons he's been with us

im amazed at the lies peddled about rodgers

defend him on his merits, and why it would be risky/foolish/pointless to sack him but to see him spend £120m last summer and say he has been restrained is just pure bull****

balotelli 16m
lovren 20m
markovic 20m
lallana 25m
lambert 4m

thats 85 million pounds on 5 players who have played a minimal role this year.

thats RECKLESS

Yes and has had to sell the high wage earners. So you are buying expensive potential because your wage budget is too low to entice the finished product. £100m doesn't get a lot especially when you are trying to bring numbers into a squad. Have utd got value out of their outlay this year? Its mainly the established players that have pulled them through, what is Rooney being paid?
