The same reason as to why Migs was brought here in the first place.
Of course we had the PR dept working their magic then too - to convince us that Pepe wasn't 'good enough' for us - (completely ignoring the fact that even after a shaky start; he ended the season with 14 clean sheets in only 31 games... just behind Joe Hart % wise).
Thankfully tho' - even the PR dept can't fool all of the people all of the time and try as they might to convince us that they're still right; there's enough on here with the integrity to admit it was wrong.
Simon is just another case of the corporate mismanagement and false economies sadly....
I wonder how much it will eventually cost to replace Pepe with someone fit to tie his bootlaces?
Which leads to the question on Brucie's views regarding Pepe's exit, a pound to a pinch of sh*t he would condemn it as much as the majority on this forum or at Anfield on any match day.
That in turn leads to an examination and the motives regarding the move:
Was it based on form and the implications therein affecting the team's performance in the long term - no.
Was it based on the fact that we had an excess of proficient shot stoppers - no, the reverse was true, Reina was our first and only choice between the sticks as subsequent events testified.
Following on from that has the club benefitted from the transaction? The very thought is F***ing laughable.
The balance sheet probably looked attractive from an accountants point of view although of minimal interest to anyone else who is distracted by the damage being done to LFC.
To go a step further the above seems a blueprint for our owner's modus operandi from day F***ing 1, with the compulsory footnote/waffle about the long term/wait and see/you won't know until it hit's you in the F***ing gob etc etc.
It seems their business ethic interprets in the long term as a 15 point wipe out in the Prem.
