"it's almost worth hoping we lose". Where have I heard that before?
It's a rubbish report, because even we're not that fucking stupid to put pressure on with such a dumb ultimatum. This is the bit where the press jump on a manager to hope there's a story, he loses a few games and the pressure mounts in the media, until they get to say they reported it first, when he does eventually go.
If the club has any ideas about heading into the season and just seeing how things go before pulling the plug as form gets out of hand, then they may as well do it now, because after booting his staff, paying for new ones to come in and giving Rodgers a wad to spend, they'll look like hapless cunts either way.
So if Rodgers does go, I hope the pressure mounts on them too, because their flawed American business bred philosophies haven't translated to English football either and have arguably undermined his tenure, as much as Rodgers has allegedly undermined their transfer committee.
Pay the bills, run the commercial side and make your money. Let the next manager do the buying and put his own ideas in place. Don't treat him like a dickhead with some stupid stunt over how we buy the players, offering a DoF and then implementing a "committee" of half-wits, after the original idea was rejected.
I mean, if you don't want to work under one person who oversees transfers, why would you want to work alongside four?
At least Rodgers is a relative rookie in a managerial sense. What's their excuse? They've been at the top end of the sports business for the best part of 15 years, Henry's been taking business clients on for the best part of 35 years. It's not a fucking Walmart where you implement a committee to oversee spending and the use of resources, it's a football team they have not one iota of an idea of how to run in a hands-on sense. Stay the fuck out of it, do your homework on your staff or at least employ someone who knows what the fuck they are looking for and then bring in that guy and back him and let him find his own identity, instead of muddying the waters with half-baked Americanisms that just don't fucking apply.
