No. You are completely misrepresenting what I am conveying and putting a completely negative spin on it.
Every manager after they are fired, comes up with a list of players they have missed out who in hindsight have turned out to be great players. All I am trying to say is that list is selective whether it is Rafa, Houllier, or Rodgers.
I have a great deal of affection for all three of them and grateful for what they did to our club. But at the same time I dont like them listing the list of players who have turned out great in hindsight. There is a convenient omission of the players they recommended and did not get and turned out to be shit and the players whom they recommended and got and turned out to be shit.
Not all managers get all of their top targets. I dont see King Kenny listing out all the players he missed out on, I am sure there were some. To this day he has protected Commoli and not said a bad word.
Our transfers were poor during the last five years maybe even in the last 20 years whether it is transfer committee, managers, or whomever was incharge. Rafa, Houllier, King Kenny, and Rodgers were not bad managers. Given our budget constraints, our squad weakness, inability to pay top of the level wages - they couldnt make transfer purchases to sustain the squad at the highest level for a long period of time. It is a close to impossible job, I understand. But if Moores, Parry, transfer committee release a list of players these managers actually wanted, I am fairly confident it will not look that rosy as these managers try to make it out in hindsight.
Also for your comment on backup, I am basing mine on gkmacca's statement
"After Suarez left he asked the club to get Sanchez, with Lambert as back-up."
English is not my first language. But I assumed what that sentence meant was Lambert was the back-up for Sanchez.
