Added to that, BR has in no shape or form improved from his time at Swansea. Over there, he was getting results over and above the type/level of the players at that club. Now with LFC, the club has better player then Swansea, yet BR is achieving lesser results i.e below the type/level of the players at the club.
Yep, LFC nearly won the EPL, however, imo, this was in spite of BR - reference this season. BR / the media can spin and turn it any way they like, but at the end of the day, he still has to go. The system he employs (pass, pass pass rubbish) is his system. If he didn't attend Bielsa's conference and followed that up with a face to face, imagine where LFC would be right now. He took the advice and guidance of Bielsa and changed it to a high press game etc, thats why LFC did well last season. This season, he reverts back to his 'philosophy' style (pass, pass, pass rubbish). Well, where would LFC be last season if did not take that advice, definately nowhere near the top 4. He most probably would have had his marching orders at the end of last season. The system he employs (his favoured system of pass, pass, pass....) has failed. He doesn't have a clue.
Last season we had 2 strikers a + Coutinho and RS doing very well sitting behind the front 2, now, this season, he decides (for some unknown reason) to completely shake it up by buying to many AMs and slow strikers to play in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. Therefore BR in all his wisdom has shown that his clear intention was to have the team play a different way altogether i.e. pass, pass, pass.....). LS leaving, which he knew about months in advance and chose not to replace him, was really just an excuse to go back to his favoured playing style/philophy.
The owners have given BR massive amounts of cash to spend but he's wasted it on potential when only 2 or 3 quality players were required. He brought in players the club didn't even need. Believe it, these are BR's players, his squad, yet he plays most of them out of position. Just can't fathom that.
Yes BR has final say, and he is very much part of the committee (not separate from it at all). The others in it provide him with advice and guidance when he requires it amongst other things. The committee was formed because the Owners don’t trust BR with the money, however, the committee hasn’t worked either. BR has final say on all in comings and tells the relevant people which players he wants to move on.
Btw, The thing with Bony is that BR couldn’t make his mind up (he dithered for so long) so Swansea decided they’d had enough and pulled out. A fee for Bony was already agreed, Swansea brought in Gomis as his replacement. Now with Remy, he let the medical happen, then did a complete u-turn and said no, I don’t want him, yet BR allowed the Balo deal to happen on top of players the club didn’t even need. He brought them for very inflated fees. BR has really set the club back and now it’s all a big ****hole of a mess.

It is simple to ignore internal politics as a way to avoid answering difficult questions. PLEASE TRY HARDER :D
As for Suarez I have asked you before just how would you have gone about keeping a player that was determined to join the absolute elite in football? Again you have never provided an answer. You simply chose to blame Rogers.

Good interview, answered the questions asked concisely and without confusion. He held it pretty well, didn't babble , didn't tell lies etc etc
Answered questions about Sturridge injury, Sterling contract talks, Ibe contract talk. He admitted it'd been a bit of a iffy season, he highlighted why he thought that had happened and he said we won't bring in a flood of players like last season but we will have 1 or 2 key signings. He admitted we needed to fill the 'goal drought' left by Suarez leaving and Sturridge injury.
When asked about Danny Ings he wouldn't give anything away but he actually said he wasn't telling Alan Brazil anything but he thought Danny is a good young player but he's looking at a few options for that position. Promising stuff
All in all I thought it was a good interview. No doubt the winge committee will pick faults and call him out.

How much are the owners paying you for acting as their spin doctor?
