Replacing a player like Suarez isn't an easy matter and then losing Sturridge also - that's 50 goals gone - thats a massive loss for any club to have
Last season we actually had the title in our hands with three games left to play - we were never in that position with either Rafa or GH and it's quite clear to see that
So who do you want to see as manager
It's clear to see the youth coming through and the foundations being built - even the signings we had in the summer - how many were youngsters looking towards the future ? Three seasons ago we will floundering aound 7th/8th - the manager gets us back into the top 4 and yet some still want him gone
Dress it up how you want, 2nd is second, and it doesn't matter how close LFC were, they came 2nd, end off.
Who said it was easy to replace LS, I certainly didn't nor did anyone else. As I said before, BR had ample time, so what was he doing for the best part of a year and a bit, he definitely knew LS was leaving and didn't plan. What does that say Yakka, it says that he is a bad manager (Coach) who does not plan ahead.
Don't make me laugh about the Academy Players, how is it clear to see the youth coming through? he's shafted them by loaning them out, or selling them and shells out and buys youngsters from abroad who only have a 'bit' more experience than most of the Academy players.
It’s obvious that one of the issues is that LFC can't afford to buy those ‘ ready made’ players, that’s a massive problem because the money spent in the summer should have been spent on quality for the 1st team rather than quantity (a kid in a sweet shop style). Why is the likes of Rossiter not getting a chance? The Coaching staff (including BR) have no idea of the types pf assets that are in the Academy, they are being wasted. There are players in the Academy, like Rossiter, that are quality.
Do you realise what it means to have an Academy? It is failing FFP rules because BR refuses to give them chance in favour of buying so called ‘young ready-made players’ The players that he has brought in are of similar age to those quality players in the Academy.
So, after the full review that is being conducted by the Owners, they are likely to bring in a DoF and Head Coach from what I understand.
Do you realise its BR that makes recommendations to the board about keeping players? He wants to keep GJ, a player that has no desire or ability, what a joke.
Do you realise that part of the review includes details of what the day to day training entails, day to day management of players etc. Then draw up a plan detailing who and what can help. BR will need to accept the recommendations of help and must work with whoever is employed to make improvements. But BR being BR, his ego will probably take a beating and refuse the help in the process. The Owners want success, they have invested heavily, and following consultation with the 3rd parties, BR may be gone in the summer. Point is, If BR won’t accept help, then the Owners will consider other options, and it would be complacent to think that they have not done this already.
