LFC Press Release
http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/brendan-rodgers-named-lfc-boss
Jen Chang will be the first to go?
Everyone but Rodgers!
Definitely. He almost said the fact he gets on with the chairman will help.
We'll pay over the odds though.
Well quite. I'm really struggling to believe what's been described. I mean, for example, what was the reaction of the others when BR said he wouldn't work with one? I just don't see how that couldn't have been a massively awkward moment...
It would actually have sounded somewhat better if they made that clear.
The confusion during the whole conference was strange
I had to take a call and missed it. This DOF gaffe, wasn't it just a case of semantics over DOF and Sporting Director roles?
So, was Rodgers just not making clear he wouldn't be working in a set-up with a traditional DOF as the football media would understand it? Therefore not contradicting the earlier statement of a Sporting Director (a "new" type of role) being installed?

They wrapped up the conference there and then - which made it look even worse. Shocking.
it looked like something you put together in an act of desperation
I'm still wondering if I'm being whoosed. What exactly happened? If he actually said that, right after the owners said they were going to appoint one, this could be a car crash before it even starts.
Weird.
yes,thats what he said

Ayre rambled like only he can ramble, repeating the 'continental' model theme again and saying they'll all work with the manager. Then Rodgers cut through all the leaden persiflage like a knife through butter and everyone else looked shifty.
just like the whole process
Cheers, and then it got cut short? Wowzers!
Werner not being able to pronounce the King's name was another fucking embarrassment.
Well, it seemed to me they cut it short. Maybe it was a coincidence. John Thompson just now put a different spin on it, claiming that Rodgers said he wouldn't work with a DoF but was willing to work with a set of people. I must say I didn't get that impression, and I'm not sure what that means, but hey ho.
that's fucking bollox. he never said there was going to be a director of football. he said more than once that there was going to be a collaborative structure, a group of people working on football issues, transfers for example. i don't know where people are getting confused.
Watch it if you can mate. It's being blown out of proportion on here.
You're being very kind to him, IMHO. I think it takes a great hermeneutic effort to re-edit Ayre's waffle to be that coherent.
its not a confusion in the understanding...its how easily the owners have backed down from the longterm plan they supposedly have,
they definately wanted a DOF and manager working as just a coach.
