My point being Brendan need to be taken out of the transfer committe.
Now I can see the logic in
that point but that's not what you said originally mate so you can see where I was confused. In short: if you, genuinely, believe that Brendan has his pick (without any committee input; without any policy interference) - then you're right to believe he should be removed.
Personally I see a flawed system; an imperfect company 'model'; a policy which hasn't worked - not at Liverpool F.C. and not anywhere else. I see a (well documented) model, which is based on buying players with potential quality and/or little financial risk, as being at the heart of our problems. I believe that for as long as the model and policy is in place; the issues will remain.
FSG brought Damien Comolli to the club and sacked him - were they admitting they got it wrong?
FSG gave Kenny the managers job and sacked him - were they admitting they got it wrong?
FSG promoted Ian Ayre.
FSG approached Dave Fallows and Barry Hunter
prior to Brendan Rodgers' arrival.
FSG signed Brendan (after an 'extensive search') as manager.
FSG introduced The Committee = Michael Edwards [brought in by Damien Comolli], his side-kick, Ian Graham [brought in by Edwards], Dave Fallows, Barry Hunter, Ian Ayre and Brendan Rodgers.
So...
#1 - If FSG "force" a DoF on Brendan - will that be an admittance that they got it wrong; that they shouldn't have abolished the role, in the first place?
#2 - If FSG take a different route by re-jigging The Committee - will that be an admittance that they got that wrong too?
#3 - What if FSG go ape-sh*t, blame Brendan and sack him - will that be an admittance that they shouldn't have signed Brendan; that their extensive recruitment drive was flawed; that they also got this wrong?
Think about it HSBc (if some fans get their way) - In only four years we could see a regime which will have sacked Comolli, Kenny and Brendan whilst Edwards, Graham and Ayre remain. Their [those three] input won't diminish... irrespective of who our manager is and that, for me, is scary.
In my opinion - if they have any footballing ambition - FSG need to have a moratorium on their low (financial) risk transfer policy and put less faith in Edwards & Graham. See what happens and 'adjust' from there.
Whoever we chose to 'blame' - the fact remains: our transfer policy/policies isn't not working and hasn't worked in 4.5 years.... something
different needs to be done and
only FSG have the power to do that.
Been nice chatting; catch you later mate.
