Hi ed01 if your around I know your prob getting bombarded with similar type questions but if you had a moment to give your gut feel into what management changes you see happening This summer. My gut feeling is we are stuck with Brenda for a while longer asit seems there is no leads or anything coming out of the club so close to the end of the season. We know the club are conducting a top to bottom review and we were told as early as November that tis included rogers position. 6 months on and it's the only area of the club where changes haven't been made. Ed2 is saying that the owners are taking advice and how they won't be swayed by one result and because of the review it may rule klopp out but my point is that it's been 6 months of advice and come next Monday he should be gone
{Ed001's Note - I can't see what reasonable intelligent person could possibly think, if they had access to behind the scenes information, that Rodgers should still be in a job. If nothing else his tactical failings, so badly exposed in Europe, should see him receive his marching orders. I don't understand why it has taken so long. When he failed to understand what Basel were doing after the first game against them, and still failed to figure out during the second match, needing to sit down and analyse it afterwards, that should have seen him booted out immediately. No half decent, let alone top quality, manager should need more than 30 minutes of a game to figure out what the opposition are doing. So my gut feelings says he has to be gone, even if it is way too late and shows a lack of decisiveness that is coming to characterise FSG's time at Liverpool. Too many committees and not enough action.}

If they do a six month review with his position under scrutiny and come out with announcements that BR will be kept, that would be a severe waste of time and six months we will never get back. They should have cut bait back then or simply say they would keep him and do nothing. What I can't understand is that with the Red Sox, the owners don't play and act decisively YET with LFC, they dither and form committees that don't accomplish a thing (see TC). At another big club, they would have already had his replacement on deck like Utd did with LVG.

If that was true noone would lose! Its one thing identified how to stop a system but then actually stopping it!
And all the managers who faced in the pomp pep Barcelona only one actually found a way to really stop them without parking the bus an praying you don't concede (even tho that is a method) but bielsa your man eds was the one who found.a system to stop them and pep "copied" it when Bayern played Barcelona!
The above doesn't make the others managers bad does it?
And how long did it take other teams to figure us.out when we adopted the same system? We got figured out but not for something like 13 games, and considering it should be 30 mins and then your sacked! We should have got 13 managers sacked!

Do you think FSG will appoint a committee to conduct a review of how the top to bottom review went? I appreciate sound business, but if an employee isn't performing well enough, and in fact costing you money and embarrassing the business, you get rid of them asap.

What?

The owners love baseball, it's their passion.
LFC is not, they knew nothing about football when they bought us. Hence the difference in their actions. With LFC they need advisors and committees and do everything remotely, with the Red Sox it's completely the opposite.

They need committees to deal with committees and have meetings about meetings about meetings.

Austin, I am assuming that the 13 games you are referring to is our unbeaten run this season? Did you actually watch the performances during that run? I am guessing not, as while we were collecting the results during the unbeaten run, majority of the performances were pretty rubbish, nothing different from the whole season. Bar a few wonder strikes here and there during the run, it would have ended much sooner than the 13 games it went for.

Brisbane my point wasnt that we were winning but more that it took 13 games to properly figure us out, and prior to that ed had said that if a manager can't figure out the system and react to In 30 mins they should be sacked so I pointed out that 13 mangers should of lost there.jobs because they.didn't figure.us our in 30mins.
I can see your very anti rodgers which is fine but read through posts properly before you post back.to them :)

If you twist people's words enough you can really make them have said anything can't you?? The ed said with Liverpool against Basel. it wasn't like Accrington Stanley against Barcelona. we had the quality on the pitch that night regardless of the manager to win both of those so the players take some blame too. but clearly the eds main point was saying over 180 minutes against that opposition given the circumstances we were in the performances were not acceptable. and again have some context it is not like every other game we are blowing teams away or even playing well. I think I have been truly satisfied with a performance 3 times this season.
{Ed001's Note - lfc18, if you think it took 13 games for teams to figure us out, then you need your eyes tested! We had been figured out long before and scraped results due to some stunning strikes from distance. Look at the Swansea game, for instance, they had us in all sorts of trouble, just lacked the quality to put it in the back of the net.}
