Worst contract decision in FSG era?

[SummerOnions]

With everyone moaning about Mignolet, it got me wondering. What's the worst contract we've given out?

I'm saying Sturridge

 

[the count]

Hodgson.
By a country fucking mile.

 

[Rosco]

The Reina extension came pre FSG didnt it ? Cos that was awful .

Hodgson.

Hodgson was given a contract by the two cowboys. FSG sacked him after half a season.

 

[Mystic]

Jose Enrique.

 

[Athens]

Balotelli?

 

[dantes]

Lambert

 

[Tinto]

Andy Carroll for whatever the ridiculous fee was

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Giving Rodgers a four year contract extension a year before firing him.

Got to agree. Daft as the other FSG-related examples mentioned above may be, you could just about make some sort of case for them at the time, but this one I couldn't fathom from the get-go.

It was very popular amongst fans at the time

It was so the big clubs didn't snatch him away from us.

Like Chelsea ?

 

[refugee]

Not FSG, but when we gave Troare a new 4 year contract at the beginning of the 2005 season I wanted to cry.

 

[cloggypop]

Like Chelsea ?

Or Barcelona.

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Milner

 

[6TimesaRed]

Rodgers...
Seriously, probably Andy Carroll...

 

[white-sox]

Not terminating that owl faced twat Hodgson's contract the moment they saw him!!!

 

[Oncy]

Is this trolly trollerson?

Because I dont get it if you are serious. Reina is still fucking miles better than any keeper we have had in the past 2 decades.
Id take him tomorrow of Mongolet.

He was a sub for the majority of the contract , on 120k a week.

 

[#roadred]

Giving Rodgers a four year contract extension a year before firing him when every cunt on the planet knew Suarez was gonna leave.

Really - we did that ? I suppose he was key to our CL win with those last ditch tackles.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Mario by a mile. What a waste of space.

 

[LEMONed]

Gary Mac and o'driscoll when they have plan to sack BR.

 

[willby]

Mario Balloteli. 16 M wasted if he never plays for Liverpool again.

.

Someone saying Milner is also trolly tollerson. Worst contract decision under FSG and people pick Reina and Milner?? Wtf.
Milner gives his all to the cause and an aging Reina would have been on a par to Mingolet.

Would picking Mario Balotelli or someone like that not make more sense? 16 million fee and then whatever his wages are/were for a player our manager had no intention of using.

 

[Rosco]

If you think paying a back up keeper 6m a year was a good idea you're an idiot.

Even with a revisionist history

I don't think it was a good idea. I think paying 16 million fee plus the wages of Balotelli is surely worse though?

 

[ILD]

Can somebody jog my memory with the Reina timeline? i.e how his time ended with us?
He had a spat with Rodgers wasn't it? He thought Barca would come in for him but Valdez stayed? In the interim we had signed Mingolet so we loaned out Reina? Was that it? I also remember Reina being sloppy and beaten on his near post a few times. I'm not trying to claim he was still at his best. I also remember Gene Hughes HATING Pepe. ha.

 

[Jack D Rips]

What is the big useless fucking lummox, that is Balotelli, even doing recently? 16M down the fucking Swanee and no return!
