its critical we sort the club out over the summer. I hope the top to bottom review, will help sort things out and put into place, a structure we so need. If we don't get it right i fear that the club will fall out of the top 7 for many years to come. Top 4 currently are all doing well and we have southampton and spurs to worry about. Get it right and we can compete for top 4 maybe the league.

Rodgers should of been out after the first third of the season. It became very clear he's bitten off more than he could chew. The main reason, in fact the only reason we finished 2nd last year was down to Suarez.
He was like an executioner, finished off teams with his killer instinct. And battled like a beast when needed. Hence why barca paid what they did.
He's gone (good riddance). And Brendan's first real chance to mould the team how he wants it with a big transfer kitty. Every man and his dog knew, get a world class striker. And perhaps 2 top quality players and try and kick on in league and in Europe.
Instead Rodgers decides to go to the bargain basement and buy a new squad. Ok, U.S. Fans backed him and stayed positive. He then changes the tactics, we the fans stick by him. He then blames Everyman, his dog, the IRA, Al Qaeda, Isis, the weatherman. Everyone but himself.
At this point we've had enough. He has to go and whoever comes in has a good go with honesty and integrity, not bullshitting to the fans every game.
There are plenty of managers to pick from, plenty of managers who would relish the chance to have a go with us.

The structure needs sorting first though. Once that's all in place how they want it then go for a manager. i tell you now we won't be getting klopp/emery/rafa/ancelotti or any others. If the structures in place rodgers has nothing to moan about if we muck up and only himself to blame.

So the idea is to sack Rodgers and put anyone in charge? doesn't sound good to me if i'm honest. Do i think Rodgers should be sacked? Yes! Do i know who has the credentials to a least push us into that top 4 spot permanently? No idea. that's the hard bit, not easy at all.

Good post, Mag! I just want a manager with integrity and belief who has an idea, a direction and a set plan on how he wants us to move forward as a club into a new era. And for people who say we can't get anyone better, I would say to them that any manager with the qualities I just mentioned earlier, in ALREADY a better manager than BR.

Thanks redohio. Why is it us fans see what's happening to the club, but the owners don't?
18 May 2015 02:15:35
Mag, because the owners and their advisors haven't said a thing doesn't mean they don't see his blunders because believe me, they would need psychiatric evaluation if they didn't see BR's failures. In fact, them not saying anything should be a concern BR and his acolytes and apologists because that does not bode well for him hence, they just say he will be kept in spite of the ed01 saying he expects BR to be fired. We'll see what happens.

Top to bottom review has been going on for some time if you listen to the eds.
So any manager with integrity, belief and an idea.
I guess results don't matter then as long as he has an idea. Hodgson has integrity, belief and an idea, he didn't last long.
Kenny had integrity, belief and an idea, he lasted a bit longer.
I think FSG might want someone who gets better results from the team, I think they see that as an important criteria for a manager.

at this moment in time, balotelli as manager would be an upgrade on BR.
None of us have ever said bring another muppet in, but we all have to admit, hodgson dalglish and Brendan as last 3 managers isn't showing much ambition.
