Hi Ed, what are the chances of Rodgers leaving in the summer? I hope the QPR result and performance are not over shadowed by Gerrards last game. I haven't seen the progress in the team and significant improvement in his signing to believe he deserves a another season. Especially when there is someone better (Klopp) available.
{Ed002's Note - This has been done to death. What if Klopp moves to a side that has shown interest? Sam Allardyce might be available - go for him perhaps? Or do you think a measured and planned approach might be better?}

Ground hog day has found a new home I see, after years of being stuck in it and getting tanked by all big teams away season after season and forever 4th we beat city and utd and finally woke up to no Sony and Cher on the radio.
But I see by your page your well and truly living it day after day after day of the same posts of is Rogers going or Rogers must go.
Hope you some how break free soon or I fear for your sanity.

Hi.
We were woeful for the first half if the season with so many players bedding in.
.
We had a decent run post Xmas but whenthe pressure came on we failed badly.
Since then the wheels have fell of the wagon largely again with in club transfer gossip been discussed in public and added pressure of trying to give gerard a trophy to seee him off
After all that We will finish 5th.
IF EVERYONE at the club learns from the above shambles then things have to improve.
Look at the clubs above us and see the swift in club ways transfers are handled AND IMPORTANTLY the TRANSFER AMOUNTS PAID PER PLAYER BOUGHT.then it shows the size of the task.
At the end of the day last year United were missing. Chelsea had a new manager. Arsenal touch and go .
And we had one game a week.
Thats why we came second.
To sum up if Fsg Don't up the transfer kitty to match above us and ourr transfer policy of buying 4 potential players instead of 2 top players.
Then 5 th is where we will stay.

I think the groundsman has more of a clue than BR, at least he could not blame the grass.

I liked the look of the new 2-2-6 formation we played in the last half hour. Has enough places for the collection on attacking players, just not sure if our 12 CBs are going are going to be happy.

There is no guarantee we will finish 5th. A loss at Stoke next weekend, which is entirely feasible, and wins by Spurs and Soton would see us fall to 7th.

The transfer kitty is not the issue as we spent more than any EPL side this season so that argument is bogus. The prob is how the kitty is being spent and the person making the final say on transfers. This was our season to make a huge leap towards challenging for the title in a now very poor EPL. But BR messed up and now we have no money, no CL and more debt. That is our reality and he needs to be held accountable for such horrendous blunders that have plunged our club so deep.

Did we spend more than Man Utd?
Doesn't seem right to me, when you add up Roco, Di Maria, Shaw, Herrera and Falcao.
18 May 2015 06:29:48
Di Maria 59.7m
Luke Shaw 28m
Herrera 27 m
Falcao 6m
Rojo 16m
= 146 m roughly
Lallana 25m
Lovren 20m
Lambert 4m
Mario 16m
Can 10m
Markovic 20m
Moreno 12m
= 107m
So Man Utd actually spent approximately 40 million more than us and are currently 1 place ahead of us.
{Ed001's Note - Origi? And Lallana cost £27m+, Lovren £22m+, Lambert £4.8m+, Balotelli £17.5m+, Can £10.5m+, Markovic £22m, Moreno £15.8m+, Manquillo £1.76m (loan fee) so that is a bit more than you said without Origi. Mind I do agree United have spent more, they spent the most money in world football in the summer.}

False argument, again. We spent the money we spent for the promises we were made by BR and he failed, end of. Dragging other clubs into it to soften the blow of BR's failures on our club's fortunes is just a desperate attempt at validating his failures, IMO.
