Rumour mill: It all kicked off in Madrid.

What a DOF would do is something of a moveable feast - I doubt there's just one model of how such a set-up works. I do agree, as I said above, that Rodgers isn't going to go for it, so both sides in that discussion (if it happens) will have big decisions to make.

I'd put your penultimate sentence slightly differently. I think they did sort the matter out, or believed they had, but may now be having second thoughts. And yes, *if* this does all happen I do think Rodgers' position may well boil down to "Back me or sack me". What I don't know is which way FSG would then jump. If they keep him on, he may find his targets get quite a bit more demanding.

They should do it like every other good corporates do; get BR to agree on a number of points we should get by Dec for example, or a DOF comes in. BR will work hard at it and if he fails he knows he has got no other excuses.
 
I must admit I was a teensy bit surprised when Brendan decided to fly off on vacation to the US with his girlfriend rather than going to the World Cup, simply because, like Martinez, he's always seemed such an obsessive football analyst. But having criticised Wenger for his unhealthy immersion in the football, I can hardly complain about Brendan taking a break. He's maybe going through a mini Gatsby moment - sudden wealth, new teeth, new shape, new admirers, a bit of success...

Big Head, Little Head Syndrome. In cases like the above the Little Head always wins.
