They seem to be in no man's land, don't seem to have the financial clout to compete with top 4 and admittedly have signed some duff players.
They are crap and are a joke etc., but they are not at the top table anymore and think it will take a long time and a lot of investment to change that, whoever the new manager is.

If you look at the money they spent they do have the finances, they signed a lot of players many of which were signed by the transfer committee. Although I think he has went backwards so for Liverpool it was the right choice

Take talent like Suarez, Sterling and Gerrard out of any side and it will suffer. Now Gerrard was unavoidable as time caught up with him, Liverpool can't do a thing about it when Man City or Barca come for one of their players.

Apparently Rodgers spent £291 million to create a mediocre side. Look at what talented managers like Ronald Koeman, Gary Monk and Alan Pardew have achieved with a lot less.

291 million is enough to build a top 4 team even in this day and age. Don't forget though some of the signings were not his choice

Once he got rid of his coaching team ,he was walking on a tightrope, especially after our Derek's goal . Think Klinsmann would be a better option than Clipperty Klopp.

British managers are under pressure because their teams are struggling. No more no less.

When you look at some of the money squandered on mediocrity like Lovren, Firminio and even Clyne (hardly good value for money) it isn't surprising he's been given the mallet.

What's this transfer committee they're all on about on the radio? It seems from that as if he wasn't responsible, necessarily, for all these rubbish signings, but was made to use what the transfer committee thought was right.

Apparently the Committee consists of Rodgers, head of recruitment David Fallows, chief scout Barry Hunter, director of technical performance Michael Edwards, CEO Ian Ayre and director Mike Gordon.

Funny way to run a club. I couldn't see Alex Ferguson putting up with that!

Surely the rest of the committee should stand down as well.

Would we not have a transfer committee of sorts? Curle Dykes the no longer involved alledgedly Nixon and possibly West?

Surely most clubs potential signings are discussed by the manager, assistant, scout and someone senior on the board - most just wouldn't call it a 'Transfer committee'

In most situations the manager would then have the final say on whether the player would actually be signed or not. The situation with Rodgers appears to be that he was just part of the discussion about who they should be looking at.
Arise, Sir Jimmy

I wonder if it is exactly like that one at Liverpool though. I can understand the scouting staff giving names to the manager, him selecting which ones he wants and then taking those to the owners for the financial say so. It makes very little sense to me to have people, involved in selecting players for a squad, who know nothing about football.

Funnily enough, I remember when Rodgers got the job, Roberto Martinez (then at Wigan) was first choice. But he turned the job down because he wouldn't have absolute control.

I think that was one of Rodgers main concerns that so many transfers happened without his say so or input. Although I read he had free reign in the summer.

But they were SAF's mistakes. He didn't allow players to be foisted on him.

LVG has done alright this weekend hasn't he? Game lost 7 minutes in; hammered after only 20 minutes; Rooney still useless; ludicrous selection and tactics; blown away by a title rival - and hardly anyone is talking about it, because of Rodgers!

Shows how important Sturridge is to Liverpool like - just come back from a year out, playing in a poor team, and he already has as many league goals in 3 games as Kane and Rooney have in 15 between them. Had he been fit last season Liverpool may not be looking for a new manager now.

According to an article in the i newspaper today, the owners decided he was on his way the morning after the Carlisle game, so although he didn't get 'sacked in the morning', it was 'decided that he would be sacked and started working on his replacement in the morning', which doesn't scan as well.
In the paper, so must be right.

Worst of the big 4 English Clubs is Arsenal for me this season, failing to attain a point against those two sides in the CL is simply horrific. May as well just finish bottom, increase their chances stacks for winning the Premier League if they do I think.
