I still can't understand the fact that the two most expensive players in the club's history are both players who don't suit our desired style of play. How does that happen?
With all due respect to Kenny, and none whatsoever to Rodgers, that's what happens when you bring in a manager who has been out of the game for so long, and when you bring in a manager who is only proven at domestic level with his greatest accomplishment being that he kept Swansea City up. Even Leicester City had greater ambitions bringing in Ranieri who had done more previously and is fairly well respected in the European game. Our owners tried to do things on the cheap, rather than bringing in a proven manager, and its cost them. Now they'll have to sell off the bad signings at cut price and accept that now they have to invest even more to bring in quality players who can actually get the job done under a manager proven at European level.
I just don't get how fans can still defend Rodgers. Okay, he was our manager when we came second and close to winning the league but lets not pretend that didn't have a lot to do with Suarez literally ripping teams to shreds week in, week out. He was dragging us to the league title, only for us to falter at the final hurdle again. The side out there now has no suitable Suarez replacement, no suitable Agger replacement, no suitable Reina replacement and no suitable Gerrard replacement. I am unbelievably pissed off because the spine of a strong team has been completely dismantled and replaced with B grade fodder and so many of our fans are lapping it up like its wonderful.
How long are they going to continue acting and pretending like Allen is actually good? He is a mid table Premier League player at best. So many of our fans need to bloody wake up its unbelievable. The world of delusion they are living in knows no bounds. Time for a whiskey me thinks.
