The manager is not being shackled financially we are informed, yet he does a F***ing good impression of one who is.
Not sure, do believe there was some very poor decision making from top to bottom, though.
Letting Agger go and spending £20 million on Lovren (couldn't see the priority myself), another large sum on Markovic (unproven, another for the future...), the Origi money...
I'm all for investing in the future of the club, it's something I've always believed in, but the current season should never be discounted.
I've read that the club was surprised by the Suarez departure, but I can't believe that for a second. At this level, with the amount of money flying around and the salaries involved, everything should be well-prepared with worst-case scenarios in place.
For me, enough money was available, but god-knows how, it wasn't spent in the right places and we're paying the price. Like I said, an incompetent, cluster-F**k, that needs sorting out as soon as possible.
