This focus on 'homegrown talent' thing, has it ever worked in the PL? It got Southampton firmly in the top half but that's not real success.

Again,'officials have indicated' why doesn't someone come out and say something then? The following bit is the key for me, all bets are off, we will only know what is happening for sure once BR has met with the club, the rest is just smoke.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool's steadfast defence of Rodgers extends beyond his meeting with Gordon. He suggested last week that this meeting was no different to any yearly appraisal. That is clearly not the case, given such conversations are far more desirable when you have just finished second – coming as close as any manager in 25 years to winning the title – than when you have come sixth with a team that has just delivered the club's worst result in 52 years.Modifying post.

Personally, I can take 5th place, that's not a problem for a squad costing what ours has.
The problem I have is, as has already been mentioned, our performances in the crunch games. Our last 10 games, winning 2, losing 5 drawing 3. Then of course conceding 9 goals in the last 2 against mid table sides, losing 12 games this season. 12. Thats bloody atrocious.
To top it off it was the arrogance when we went on our run, "we're going for 2nd", the sarcasm about getting in a defensive coach. He just cant seem to help himself, even after the comment about spurs last season, his mouth just runs away on its own as if possessed by david brent. He was fluttering his eyelashes at spain last season too which annoyed me.Last edited by tanner; 25-05-15, 08:23 PM.SakhoPotatoes

I wonder if one of the thorough and robust reviews will include playing players in their natural position, that would be a start.
So basically the Telegraph are reporting that essentially nothing at is going to change after that ****fest of a season and we are signing Ings and Milner..... Mid table here we come.Kurtangled in the McFadden thread 16/01/08

Maybe Rodgers is fsg's man but from a business perspective, were about to bring in 2 freebies in James Milner and Danny Ings. Rodgers may have had an important role in that especially the Milner signing who wanted assurances of position he would play.
That's probably at least £30m of talent as free transfers (excluding their sign on fees). Fsg wouldn't put that in jeopardy so they could wait until those two have signed which would be in a week or so.
Then he could be sacked.

They have made NO approach for any other manager, and will not make any enquiries, even if it means losing out on the available Jurgen Klopp.Despite suggestions that a director of football will be appointed, the club is also ruling that out – as they are major changes to the much-criticised transfer committee. That means the only visible alterations of note could be to Rodgers' backroom team, which in essence would be cosmetic. "




It's just so brutal to read, it's laughable.
