What mess?
No windmills in the last 18 months on the site ...
I've retired
From Barretts article:
Of the disparate figures on Liverpool’s transfer committee, Gordon’s voice carries the most weight. Not only does the 50-year-old hold the purse strings, he also implements FSG’s vision which prioritises value and potential, and works closely with the manager and scouts on player identification and recruitment. Though based in the USA, Gordon is in regular contact with Ian Ayre and the other committee members who participate in frequent conference calls.
Such is Gordon’s authority that he informed Rodgers that his services were no longer required in a transatlantic phone call after Sunday’s Merseyside derby against Everton. He is also at the forefront of Liverpool’s search for a new manager.
Obviously joking about the tranny but the constant stories of his personal life antics was damaging imo.
Nobody batted an eyelid about the horse racing plus you know it's a bit different when you are winning titles year in year out.
Ferguson had Utd on cruise control and had somewhat earned the right.
Rodgers had and done nothing and his task was to get us back to the top.
*checks to see if the crying game was fictional or a doco.
I simply struck gold stumbling on that thread in search of something else. Who knew it held such marvellous soundbites.
Now you're flirting with him? Stay loyal to me please.
Didn't you repeatedly say we'd be better without Suarez?
Side note
I think anyone could get us fourth coming in after Rodgers this season.
I said at the start of the year, that if Rodgers got the boot before xmas, we'd have a lot if not all of our toughest away fixtures done.
Thanks to the fact some of the usually suspects are stuttering we are in with a huge change of getting fourth and possible even higher.
As others have said I don't think we are half as bad as many make out.
The English league is a bit shit at the moment and with a bit of confidence we could rocket up the table.
Very exciting times.

More likely drinking a bottle of Riesling
I think it was supposed to be "there".
My fucking phone hates me - it's been randomly calling people from my pocket and inserting strange words in stuff I write all over the place.
Fucking Apple.
That's the problem right there. A Yank in charge of a "soccer club". Nothing will change with Rodgers out the window. Except all learnings are lost and we lost continuity.
The biggest mistake here isn't Rodgers or his ability as a manager - it's FSG and their ability to understand the mechanism of 'soccer' - The biggest sport in the world. They have provided a platform that anybody would have been sure to fail on in Rodgers 3rd year. He had a season with a completely faded Legend getting in the way of building the right spirit. Moaning if he didn't start. Moaning even more when we went on a 12 match unbeaten run without him. Pulls a red out of frustration against Scum at home - more or less on purpose. He lost Suarez and was forced feed Balotelli in the last sec as a stop gap solution. Yes, he spend 130 mill pounds but CLEARLY Gordon wasn't ready with a decent list of players for us to buy?! Fuck the entire Money ball introduction to this game.
Nothing good will happen until a competent person sits down in Gordons chair. It's as clear as the dialogue in a Few good men - fucking crystal.
Christ, where's peoples sense of humour gone. Nothing wrong with this.
And losing Suarez...
And losing Sturde to injury
And then getting Balo as the player to fill those boots.
And having Gordon in charge of recruitment to reinvest the Suarez money
+ having The Legend of the Moan on board who in many ways felt he was bigger than the club.
Talk about a lose/lose preposition. This is the platform provided by LFC/FSG for the manager to succeed. No small wonder his head was spinning and he made so many mistakes.
People are right when they say Rodgers was drowning and not able to handle the job - The real question is if anybody else could have succeeded with the cocktail above in hand.
I seriously doubt it.
You are an odd fish at times wiberg. You've been very vocal in the past about negative posters and how Rodgers should be respected and treated by the masses yet you are extremely dismissive of Steven Gerrard, a true club legend. Just find it odd is all. Please don't use this as a springboard for a Gerrard debate. I know where you stand on him. 😉
I just think the Gerrard issue was handled very very badly. I'm sure he (Gerrard) would agree TBH.
The whole LFC debate is in some aspects like the http://350.org/about/science/ issue. We are in the car going over the cliff, facing certain death, discussing whether or not we need more gasoline.
It's not far off in regards to how changing the manager will help LFC at this juncture.
It's got bugger all to do with "Yanks" or any other national stereotype, and everything to do with individuals and the choices they make. "Yanks" are "in charge" over at ManUre and, for all the protests of their fans about some of their decisions, it hasn't done them much harm so far. Unfortunately.
Difference is they let David Gill and Fergie be in Charge. Really in charge. They only had to inform what decisions they made and got a quick OK in return.
Makes ALL the diff - don't you think?
These FSG Yanks, even if they are more likable on the surface than the horrid Glazers, are on the inside of all decision making at Anfield - how can you even begin to compare the two scenarios?
That's precisely my point. It was your previous post, not mine, which indicated that all "Yanks" are the same.
Ahh, fair enough. I was talking about these specific Yanks then. You are so PC sometimes 😉
I'd much rather ours be stuck in to the footy side & getting that wrong than leaving that to everyone else whilst they leverage the club to line their own pockets.
They're raping Utd, plain & simple. Our 'yanks' may be making mistakes, & I doubt they are truly in it for altruistic motives alone, but they haven't buried us in debt in the process.
They'll ride it though, Foxy. While the Glazers are doing what they're doing behind the scenes, they're also keeping the club successful. Worse luck.
Only because Utd are such a huge brand they can afford to paper the cracks with huge wages. At some point that's not gonna cut it.
Their true fans are worried shitless about their future under the glaziers, & rightly so.
Both sides of that coin is rather unattractive tbh. I would loathe the Glazer if I was a United fan - no doubt. But the debt and the increase in the overall valuation of the club makes sense. Even if you could cry rape at any given time.
I'd rather FSG left all football matters to competent people and stepped back. This has clearly not been the case in the past.
