When they first arrived they appointed a DOF along with Kenny. Sacked them both along with plenty of others.
Then they wanted a young manager to work under a DOF.
Then they hired Rodgers and apparently there would be no DOF.
Then we put a transfer committee in place, were nobody seems too sure who is actually buying players. Is it Rodgers or the stats computer program?
Now they want a DOF again?
If this turns out to be true then it will certainly look to me as though they have no idea what they are doing. Jumping from one approach to the next.
In football, when owners are referred to as ruthless... it generally translates into no idea how football works.
The thing is jac that you wouldn't be surprised if it does happen. They don't seem to know a lot about football IMO and baseball is a very different game. Stats work in baseball but not football.
After Kenny they wanted a D.O.F and a new young manager, but the young manager didn't want that so they changed what it was they were after. Different story if it was someone with a proven track record in that area but it wasn't and they gave it all up to support the 180 page spiel brendan gave them. Thats all it took to change their course and they would do it again on a whim.
They are better Owners than Twit & Tw@t because they aren't borrowing from every bank on the go and using assets from the club as collateral but they have other things in common like not wanting to put their own money in and making the Club pay for their mistakes, IE: stadium plans they inherited and scrapped putting close to 50 mil back on the debt books. It might be interest free but its still debt. IMO things will look much clearer next year when the last 2 sets of accounts are published.
We have done well in attracting new lines of revenue through sponsorships and kit deals. We also have the extra Television money now, This should enable us to be competing better as this money wasn't around when T&T were here but yet their spend on the team is pretty similar in terms of net spend. Even though we have all this extra money we could still be in trouble with regards to FFP which is a joke considering they have been saying they were preparing us for this since 2010.And It was one of the things that attracted them to the club in the first place. To fall at the first hurdle would be some ***** up TBH.
My take on it is that all we did was some in house cleaning where we got rid of parasites and replaced them with leeches . Most will say jac that we almost went bust but that was never, never, ever going to happen. No way was R.B.S going to do that after they called in the debt and technically when they did we should have automatically went into administration and fell foul of the premier leagues rules,but we didn't because they took us as an asset and were never going to foreclose. Liverpool football club is renowned the world over and is a British institution and they were never going to pull the plug on that especially seeing as RBS was mostly owned by the British tax payer at the time.

No less St Jacob Park ,or the Vasilij Levski ,in fact possibly all the grounds we've visited in our 'unforgettable' European adventure.
Love the way he blames the strikers and lack of creativity ,when both could have been easily addressed with a minimal of tactical
nous and in creativities case 'foresight'

"The one mistake we got punished for..."
Weird because I remember many mistakes, but their goal wasn't a mistake. It was a cracker.

We had no chance of progressing in the CL without Suarez, unless we brought Ronaldo or Messi in to replace him. The europa is a dog end of a competition and Im glad were out of it. Lets see how far we can go in the FA cup and end up in the league.
Next season is the biggest test in my opinion...

[b]Without having Thursday night obstacles to overcome, Rodgers says that he is delighted to be able to focus each match, one week at a time.
He said: "[b]At the time you don't like to say that because we want to win, and this year has been an experience for us both in the Champions League and Europa League.

Just for clarity, I have been supporting LFC since the early 60's and I am no knobhead or glory hunter. I am a realist, and because of that I understand that unfortunately, at this moment in time we dont have the players to fight on all fronts. This is due to losing Suarez and various injuries we have sustained during the campaign. Woulda, shoulda, coulda all you like but these are the facts of the situation. Of course I would like us to win all competitions we are in but its impossible for us to do that. My gripe with the europa is that it is a long, boring, drawn out and 2nd rate cup that has been spoilt by the greedy tw@ts at uefa who just want more and more money from the fans. It is not the same format or have the same prestige that the UEFA cup had, so lets not kid ourselves that it does. Yes, I would like us to be the first to win it four times but I think its unrealistic at present, which is why I said next season is the big test for me.
As a Liverpool supporter I have been spoilt by all the trophies weve won and its no wonder that fans expectations are sky high. Add on to this the freak season we had last year in the league and its understandable that many feel we should have been in contention for every competition we were in. Sadly, the reality is different and we need to lower our expectations, for the moment. We need strengthening in all departments and until that happens we have to cut our suit according to our cloth.
So lets put away this name calling and delusion that we are the force we once were, because were not. We have the potential to be, with the owners, the manager, the new Anfield and young talent coming through, but not yet. Lets keep our feet on the ground and realise we dont have a divine right to be winning trophies just because we used to do it in the past?
