All I know is he has already turned us down once.
I agree with everything you say about FSG. They've been almost unbelievably incompetent and half-arsed with the footballing side of things. To the extent that I'd think they didn't give a toss if they didn't keep throwing money at the club.
Letting Rodgers dictate to them back when he joined was always likely to be a problem at some point. We had a plan, Rodgers didn't like it, so then it's just kind of 'ah fuck it. Whatever man.' I can't fathom it. It's like we've got Jeffrey Lebowski in charge of things.
I'm not too keen on Klopp. He seems to be a great guy but would be really wary of taking a guy who has been so emotionally invested in a club / project... particularly if he's leaving on a low (not that I think he will, he'll want to turn things around there).
I want someone who is quite measured and got a really good reputation in the game. De Boer seems to fit the bill. I'd completely forgotten about Blanc till Ryan mentioned him the other day - could be a good option?

Yes. It is Marc Overmars.
Fair dos, didn't know that.
Ronald seems to think we have a chance in the summer.

It has been alleged that following Liverpool’s disastrous 3-1 defeat away to Crystal Palace last month, skipper Steven Gerrard and centre-back Dejan Lovren were involved in a huge post-match bust-up.
Liverpool conceded two late goals in their clash with Palace at Selhurst Park towards the end of November; Joe Ledley capitalised on some slack defending to give the Eagles the lead with 12 minutes of normal time remaining, followed by a stunning free-kick from club captain Mile Jedinak three minutes later to secure the win.
Jamie Carragher believes Dejan Lovren has made Liverpool’s defence worse
According reports, both Gerrard and Lovren blamed each other for the collapse in the dressing-room after the game. The former England captain sat in front of the back four that afternoon, and Lovren reportedly blamed his skipper for not giving him enough cover at the back
The newspaper alleges that Reds boss Brendan Rodgers backed his captain, and, as a result dropped the Croatian international for the next four games.
Lovren, who moved to Anfield in the summer for £20m from Southampton, is believed to be struggling due to the language barrier between himself and his two Spanish full-backs Alberto Moreno and Javier Manquillo. Both Moreno and Manquillo reportedly communicate with each other and Rodgers in their mother-tongue.
Both Gerrard and Lovren started today’s defeat at Manchester United, with the latter making yet another defensive error that led to United’s third goal.
That result leaves them in 10th place with 21 points from their 16 games. They are seven points adrift of the top four, and 10 points behind United in third place.
If true it highlights the Rodgers - Gerrard connection. Lovren has been bad, but he's right aswell. If this is true.

Yep.
Putting up quotes on twitter like some 14 year old girl.
He lives on Instagram too.
He's a twat.
Lovren actually thinks he's leader too a self proclaimed one anyway.
He can't even hold his own position on the pitch so I can't see how he has the right to be shouting around and pointing at other people.
Lovren's awful, but it doesn't help that Gerrard is a captain who appears disinclined to sign a new contract. He needs to make up his mind whether he's in for the fight or off elsewhere, because you can't have a half-hearted captain demanding more commitment from the others. The whole thing is a shambles.
Gerrard's head scratching has tended to come at the same time as it's done for the rest of us, so it's always been easy to understand where he's coming from - for example, I think most fans were pulling the same face as him when Rafa hooked Torres in that game. I guess the difference now is that it's a lot harder to absolve him of responsibility because his individual capabilities / performances no longer justify it.
I guess the reason I still hesitate to criticize him is that generally speaking this implied loss of faith in the manager has always ended up being justified, hasn't it? It's not right for the captain to put it out there, I agree, but regardless it was always going to end up the same way, right?

Probably, but it certainly becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy when he gets in this mood. And to do so when he can't even be arsed to commit himself pisses me off no end.
If Rodgers loses Gerrard he's out of a job and he knows it
I always felt in the past that he'd earned the right to throw a bit of a strop given that he was often playing out of his skin and to an extent keeping the manager in a job anyways. Not really ideal but perhaps the price you pay for keeping a world class talent in an underperforming team.
These days it is annoying because he's just as culpable as anyone else - same goes for the yelling at players.

It's not whether a loss of faith is justified, it's whether that kind of moping is worthy of a captain. Christ, I'm not sure it's even worthy of a *supporter*, let alone the captain.
