Where has the Macca rumour page gone?

{Ed001's Note - there was no point keeping it as he is too busy to post up often any more, so we no longer have to worry about getting thousands of questions asking what he said if his posts aren't easy to find.}

Hi Eds,

I know we in the market for a striker but would just like some clarity if you would be so kind.
Would Ings be seen as central striker or would he fill in anywhere across the front three, assuming we play a 4-3-3 formation and how much game time would he get?
How would Origi be used, would it be similar to Ings mentioned above?Lastly, who would you like to see Liverpool buy as a central striker as an option aside to Benteke?

Thanks

{Ed001's Note - that would depend on the manager. He will decide, impossible to say right now. Right now I can only see Higuain as likely to join us, that would be worth going for.}

YOu rate hhiguain mate? Would personally prefer Aubamayeng.
And likely as in affordable and available or Us showing current interest?

{Ed001's Note - I doubt Aubamayeng will join us right now. Higuain on the other hand might. Right now we have shown interest in neither.}

I don't he would come to any team in the north ed. His chief complaint when English teams were interested before were that English weather was rubbish and he was not a fan of the English ' lifestyle' if he comes to uk I'm very sure it would be to a London based team based on conversations a friend of mine had with him in the past.

Hi Eds,

First time poster from South Africa but avid reader for several years.
Would like to know if Rodgers mandate for this season was to win a trophy and be in the top 4? If so do you think the owners would still keep him around considering non of his set objectives were met?

great site, keep on the good work.

{Ed001's Note - as Ed002 has mentioned numerous times, he made promises to the owners to get them to spend. Those promises included winning the Prem and progressing in Europe. I don't expect him to be our manager next season.}

Hope you are right Ed001. Brendan had his chance, was given plenty of time to prove he was the right man, but he failed and deserves the sack. If FSG can convince someone like Klopp to take over with a long term project in mind, i'm sure he would at least consider LFC as we have a very young team that will only get better with time and does not require major rebuild.

For reasons I outlined several weeks ago I cannot see him being sacked (unfortunately). I see a situation where he will be forced to resign instead by having a DoF forced on him whether he wants one or not.

Indian buzzer 3 seasons won't appeal as long term to head coach Jurgen klopp!

And eds the after a season were we nearly won the title and losing our best player, the owners had no real ambition to reinvest in our squad, Brendan had to convince them! Wow. lol

Long term project in mind? But isn't that what Rogers said was required. You will give Klopp time for a long term project not Rogers. There is no doubt that a lot of Rogers signings will come good and improve next season, so you want another manager to come in and get all the credit next season

In the cold light of day and leaving all emotion aside , in my opinion there isn't a cat in hell's chance of Mr Rodgers being our manager next season .

Sometimes people forget that we have hard-nosed , American business men as owners , there is not the remotest chance that they will accept what has happened this season and Brendan knows it .

3 years is a long time in management. After wenger BR is on of the longest serving current managers in the league. If he had a shoe string budget and was trying to develop youth you could argue he may deserve more time. That's not the case. He's spent over 200 million and yet the team is going backwards. He still doesn't even know his best team and will want to ship out half his current purchases on loan ( like he did last year) so can make room for a new batch of players wiling to be played out of position or sit on the bench.

Who do you think will be manager Ritters?

Rafa, Fat Sam or Moyes?

8.) 11 May 2015 12:22:59
If this is true Ritters, why is he still here? We went out of Europe a while ago, we've been out of the title race longer, now top four is gone. Three opportunities, none taken. Why wait until June?
As ruthless as FSG might be, the cost of sacking and then hiring plus all staff related must be eight figures, I've read it's £10m just to sack him.
Our debt is big already, our summer budget small without CL. Rodgers and his current squad, less the obvious Gerrard, Johnson and maybe Balotelli etc will get them top 6. Knowing what the top four will spend massively and the cost to compete, the possibility of selling up within 2 years (2017 has been mentioned) would you as the owner throw another £10m++ for probably a similar result or stick and save it?

Maybe the EDs would suggest with that in mind what they would do? Would Klopp guarentee any higher then 5th/6th? Would you bet £10m-£20m to find out knowing you might walk away in 18 months? Winning a domestic cup, will that make the club more desirable? cause top four isn't that likely.

Does anyone actually know what FSG remit was?
Ed01.
Obviously we've regressed somewhat but I can't help but think it's been a systematic failure across the board from top to bottom over a period of time leading to a car crash.
I can't totally blame Rodgers as he's doing his best to how he envisions it, he just falls short in a lot of areas for all his intelligence.
Coaching staff.
Achteburg - why the fuck is he still at the club? Mignolet bird has done a better job
Number two - Pascoe. Ok so we know Rodgers asked Clarke to not jump the gun and leave as he wanted to work with him but it turns out the club forced him and Rodgers then had to go with Pascoe, no doubt he's a nice fella but does he pocess a winning mentality, bit of steal? what's he ever won?
Mike Marsh - Obviously Rodgers wanted to have someone local maybe to relate to the history but all in all it is a naieve choice, he's distinctly average footballer and I can't imagine him inspiring the current crop.

So now we look at the day to day running of the club, I may be wrong here but it looks from an outside point of view it's very relaxed and not that efficient in terms of future planning.
Loans aren't thought through well enough, departures and signing as we know are fucking awful. It's just the way we go about it that worries not the actual player it leads to obtaining or missing out on.

Coming back to Brendan.
Positives :-
Ability to work with kids and embrace their talent whilst installing belief and confidence to try things.
Negatives :-
Naievity - he's failed multiple times here
1. Constantly having to correct himself in terms of what he's said the previous week, it's embarrassing and cringeworthy, makes the club a laughing stock. I'm not sure if it's his own personal ego or just blatant lack of braincells.
2. Has a real nasty tendency to hang players out to dry and not lay the blame at his door when it comes to his ridiculous in game manangement.
Is this just a trait a manager with no experience at big club level ?

If a new manager can play the players in their right positions, play a coherent system that we all know works and handles transfers with a clear strategy, that manager is already better than BR so those saying we can't get anyone better are just being as disingenuous as the guy they are defending. Also if you take FSG's silence on BR and his future as a sign that he will be kept then you are fooling yourselves and have not been paying attention to the Eds comments. When we had KK, they fired him at the end of the season BUT had decided to do that SIX months prior to actually sacking him so because they have said nothing about him, does not mean they will not fire his lying and conniving ass. He has had a longterm period of three years and has failed, miserably. How much longer does he want without actually earning it by winning trophies? Till we are in administration? Exactly, he deserves no more time and I would rather we give another manager three years to see what he can do than give this guy another three years to sink us further into the abyss
