The real problem is the owners. They're fucking useless at the football side of things. They've had years now to put a coherent plan in place but seem to chicken out at every opportunity. It's crazy.
The fitness team must be teflon-coated. They survived the attempted summer risorgimento in spite of the fact that last season we had several players crocked and a semi-static team that was supposed to be able to play at a high tempo. In fact, even in Rodgers' best season, the team, for the first 4 or 5 months, could only play at the pace and intensity he wanted for about 60 minutes, after which they looked knackered. The pace has not been there again so far this season. If the owners believe in the manager's style of play, then they should be alarmed at how slowly it takes to get the players ready to play it each campaign. And if they think that style of play is physically unrealistic, they should have urged a re-think long before now.
It's a good point Macca. If our overseas brothers and sisters will forgive me I think our pre-season tours went back to being about match fitness and preparation rather than marketing and a massive PR exercise we would see a higher level of fitness - I wonder how many minutes the starting team managed pre-season ?

As apparently the case with the managerSome very points there, but I doubt the Owners have a clue about footballers fitness levels.
What about KHL?Fuck, if I'd have known it'd have only taken an email I would have written an even lovelier non automated one donkeys years ago.
