So for those who think our owners can do no wrong and prefer to blame Brendan for losing our best players and not replacing them properly, why didn't he get sacked?
I mean surely if he's wasted all this money on crap players wouldn't they get rid of him?
I'm here to defend FSG as you, or others would defend Rodgers. I'm sure FSG has their flaws, as does Rodgers, but I just feel People blaming FSG for the transfers is ridiculous. Every club has a budget and some sort of committee, but with our committee, along with Rodgers, it's been huge fail thus far, failing to scout players for the first team, or replacing our big name players. As I said before, we already had a decent squad, and I'm sure we could've bought 4 first team players(within the FSG policy, or slightly over step it) to improve our first eleven rather than 9 squad players.... unless, FSG told them to do that?
As for sacking Rodgers, why would they? The transfer dealings happened in the summer and despite a weak first half of the season, Rodgers has changed things around and proved himself to be capable. Let's not forget last season too. This in my opinion shows he deserves another season which as it stands, FSG are willing to do.
The way I see it, the problem isn't so much FSG or Rodgers, the problem seems to lie mostly in the committee, scouts, and our transfer dealings. A Manager can't scout every player in world football, can he? He needs a team, a team that he is comfortable to work along side with and trust.
So with these transfer failings, why hasn't FSG changed things around? Maybe because Rodgers is happy with the working environment, or maybe it's FSG who are happy with it and Rodgers isn't? I do not know entirely which it is, but I am leaning towards the former because nothing really suggests the latter, where as, there has been many times where I read Rodgers is happy with it and has final say.
