What a mess.

My take on the current situation is that having followed this site for the last couple of years both ed 001 and ed002 know what they are talking about andthey are both of the opinion that Brendan has to go.

Having looked at our issues over the season I agree with them.

The problem will come in getting the right man to replace him. For my part I always wanted Klopp and I still do. I just think he will come into the club and be a modern day Bill Shankly.

If FSG are taking advice then surely Klopp's name will have figured. We know that it is really difficult to get any inside information on what is going on given that the control of the club is dealt with by Hogan the London office and the guys in Biston so how do we know one way or another whether wheels are not turning with a view to sorting things out?

Given how the Boston Red Sox were sorted out I would be really surprised if Brendan has been able to persuade the owners that he should get another season in charge.

My feeling is that Brendan will be sent packing. My hope is we get Klopp through the door. If not Jurgen then I don't know. None of the other possibilities excites me really.

I would be pretty unhappy to have a new season with Brendan messing about playing people out of position.

Lucas should be our captain and first name on the team sheet when fit. He is a top class footballer and a brilliant role model for our club.

We should make it a priority to bring our academy players through. Get at least one of them on the subs bench every game and give them game time whenever it can be done. Show the youngsters we are serious about wanting them to be the way forward.

Let's just get it all sorted out before the new season starts.

I agree with you sadly photos are emerging of Klopp in a Turkish airport for talks with Fenerbache, but my take was always give Rodgers til the end of the season and if we haven't qualified for Champions League or won a trophy then his time is up, which imo it is

I agree quite a bit with Ed001.

I believe he favours Bielsa?

Whilst Klopp would be a good addition there are other top class PROVEN managers out there.

I believe Ed002 favours Schmidt. Yet there could also be Unai Emery. Ancelotti(if available).
Klinnsman I am not sure about. Rafa on a short term contract.
Yet there are others.

If FSG are as successful as has been mentioned here. I believe they will look at things thoroughly.

My immediate concern is some of our best players leaving the club because of uncertainty.

Telling anybody in the club about decisions, is a problem, because of intrusive media.

Not all down to rodgers, he didn't hire himself, miss management of players sent on loan etc. Poor leadership from the top right down and nobody seemingly learning from their mistakes.
