Interesting article that, and it seems like the formation fits us perfectly.

------------------Carroll---------------
---Suarez-----------------Bellamy-
-------Henderson-Gerrard--------
Enrique--------------------Johnson
-----------------Lucas----------------
-----------Agger-----Skrtel----------
-----------------Reina----------------

And thats before our exciting new signings make it even better, I'm looking forward to seeing this in action!
 
It's not often, I admit, but sometimes you just try to step outside the capabilities nature has defined for you Dantes. When you do it's more than a bit average.

In the coming months, I expect you've also summed up our future opinion of Brendan Rodgers.
 
Jay Spearing is very happy with the new appointment.

He'll have a say on the signings we make. The Sporting Director will find the players that can be signed, and along with the manager decide who to go for. The Sporting Director will do all the negotiations, contracts etc etc etc
 
I thought, 'old-fashioned' as he is, he insisted on resisting the Sporting Director role.

Unfortuantly that won't happen.. A sporting director will be installed.. The article in this mornings papers was non conclusive with those stories..

To a certain extent, but not in your typical Management type role we all become familiar with.. Its all about getting the best value for money players in the transfer market and finding the right balance. As I say Rodgers main role will be to get the best with what he has got and brought in for him in training and on the pitch..

Think of him as a first team coach.. the picture will become more clearer on what FSG are trying to set up here..

Heh, not having a shot mate but I find it very ironic that a post talking about clarifying a situation would use the term "more clearer". 😕

FSG have already said it wont be just one person deciding on the players.

I know what the correct future opinion of Brendan Rodgers will be; whether it's your opinion is yet to be seen.

Hey? It will depend on results and performances. It seems likely he's going to step up the training to improve the fitness and make us into a harder-working pressing team. Sounds nice when you put it like that. But in reality it means that Kuyt and Henderson will excel in training and be our key players next year. It also means our greatest ever and only world class player is going to be shot to fucking bits and gasping for air by the end each day.

And in his stupidity and wishful thinking, he believes once we win the ball back, that our players are capable of passing it around and keeping hold of it. LOL. He's in for a fucking shock.
 
At Swansea and elsewhere he's moulded collections of footballing waifs and strays into teams which play exactly that way and do so to great effect. At the very least, we have as much raw material for him to work with as any of those other clubs.

I'm sure plenty of discussions will take place, Rodgers will submit his recommendations, Sporting and technical director will submit there's and even the scouts too.... However the Sporting Director will have the final say based on the recommendations given to him.. Basically the technical director will have a lot input regarding the final decisions being made... Statistic based? .. possibly.. who knows, I'm sure to an extent it may be more than that.. But we all know the model FSG base themselves on..

Its not going to be like the Benitez or Dalglish era.. Rodgers although submitting his input, he won't have the final say.. From my understanding there will be a someone with a lot connections within the game in the Sporting Directors role..

That's how things have been under FSG from the beginning (Comolli and Werner had a voice as well as Kenny) but it seems to have been Kenny who had the final say. It won't be the manager/coach's final decision in the new set-up, though I suspect that in practice it's unlikely we'll go for a player whom he really Does Not Want.
 
@ shadey they have certainly set the bench mark.. without a shadow of a doubt...

As I suggested Rodger will be the front line general while the higher up directors will be the Patton and Montgomery if you like.
 
I don't know why it's perfectly acceptable on here to say you have a good feeling about the appointment, but it's not acceptable to say you don't have any feeling at all about it, or even have a bad feeling about it. None of them are compelling objective judgements. I don't like a few demanding that others adopt the same attitude. It's none of their damned business.
I agree totally. If you wanna have a bad feeling about it (or rather are compelled to feel bad about it) thats fine.
To be honest I would have felt bad about some of the names mentioned. And I thought I would about Rodgers but I dunno, it feels like a pretty funky appointment to me. No problem with those who feel otherwise of course.

Swansea didn't have tens of thousands of people roaring their players to go forward. It's much harder to block shit like that out whilst remaining calm and composed in possession. You need some fucking balls to do that which only Lucas and Agger seem to have a set of. Also, with full disrespect, Swansea are allowed to have the ball because they are usually the underdogs. When we play, the opposition work harder and dig in and defend and close down. Once again you need some fucking balls to hold on to it under pressure and not just hoof it away.

Brendan Rodgers needs a miracle to get us playing like Swansea did. Before that miracle happens, Craig Bellamy is nailed on to break whats left of his nose after a training ground dispute.
 
I'm pretty certain this one of the key issues of the discussions between Rodgers and FSG. No way would he accept a job were he could end up with a lot of players he doesnt want or that wont fit into his system.

That would be as bad for us as it would be for him.
 
Rodgers: You think I'm joking? You fucking think for one second you're getting out of cross-country?
Bellamy: Fuck off lad, I'll be doing your ma before I do another cross country
Rodgers: My ma is dead
Bellamy: I'd still do her
Rodgers: *swings and misses*
Bellamy: Hahaha you fucking pansy, have this you cunt *smack*
