I don't think he can play that card mate, he gets the final say in his own words, he decides if he wants the player or not.
I'm by the by at the minute, I don't give a sh*t if Rodgers stays and I certainly wouldn't give a sh*t if he was sacked tomorrow, I however don't think Rodgers is the start and the finish of the problems at the club, it runs much deeper than that.
I think all levels of management are failing the club on the footballing side of the business at the moment and its a chain reaction, what comes from the top, trickles down to the bottom.
In saying that, with the funds being made available over the last two seasons, the manager needs to do better.
I am still willing to give Brendan the chance to turn things around. If most of my posts seem to be knocking Brendan at the moment it is because we seem to be going backwards not forwards.
We are buying too many players, quantity not quality, so every season we have a bedding in period, playing players out of position then moving them on when they don't adapt.
Playing systems that don't suit the players, so players lose confidence. Moving players around so much that there can be little consistency in their play, it sometimes seems to me that Brendan prefers his players to be adaptable rather than good.
Lallana for example has struggled (apart from his injuries) for consistency since his arrival, yet instead of playing him in his best position to gain some confidence, he has been shuffled across the midfield filling in. Markovic playing wing back, Ibe playing wing back, Coutinho played left, right, centre, Can fullback, CB, DM, CM, Morino in his new role as winger etc etc.
Even our defence has had to cope with three at the back every time we hit problems.
All my hopes are resting on Sturridge's return at the moment. He has pace which we desperately need up front and can finish if we give him the supply.
