I get the being patient bit but I reckon a half decent manager could sort this out quite quickly. I know loads of you reckon all the signings have been shite but I think we've got a decent squad. The defenders individually are nowhere near as bad as they perform in Rodger's formations and a good coach would get them playing well. Midfield isn't dynamic enough but it's not awful either, and we've got real top class forwards, ace options.
Only 3 points off fourth, six off the top, played Manure, Arse and Everton away, plus the most difficult game of the season (West Ham at home)... we could have a good season with the right team in charge.
The only possible reason I can think of for not firing him in May and waiting until now was that they were after Klopp and had to hang on. But hiring Gary Mac and O'Driscoll doesn't fit with that strategy. Getting shut of them and not installing a caretaker suggests the manager is all but signed already anyways, which again points to Klopp.
