He's not getting sacked chaps.
He's not
10 Hail Marys ain't gonna help you son
He won't get sacked, we'll finish 2nd and then we'll fuck off Raheem, and we'll finish 6th in 2016/17 ...
I dont get it. FSG have access to all the information - who was responsible for which signings, the exact amount paid, everything. Apparently Rodgers has been in communication with them for three years. We all know the main criteria by which managers performance is measured - performance on the pitch. Given that they have access to all the information needed to make a decision on hiring/firing people, what new information are they going to learn by coming here and interviewing Rodgers and TC? What special insight can Rodgers provide? What tough questions can Werner ask the answers to which they already dont know?
Given they are not based in the UK, which is another matter entirely, it's only right to hold a proper review at Liverpool once a year. It's the very least we should expect from the owners. I do not see how this can be criticised.
I am saying they should have done this way more frequently and much ahead of time. For all the criticisms Parry had, he had started to sound out Rafa 5 months before Houllier's tenure ended. In the same way, Houllier was in the frame 6-7 months before he officially took over. They should have had access to all the information needed to make a decision by this time. Rodgers has been here for 3 years, the committee for 2.5 years.
My guess is that either this review is just a cover for the owners to buy time to check the availability of other candidates before keeping/firing Rodgers or they have taken a decision to keep Rodgers and this review is just some cover story to show the fans that they are serious. If they are truly visiting Liverpool to collect information to make a decision on keeping/firing Rodgers then we are f****** as it indicates LFC is not a top priority for these owners.
I'm sure FSG have been gathering info, but doing so.at a distance is never going to be enough by itself when such potentially major decisions might need to be made. IMO it would be positively foolhardy of them not to get on site and investigate for themselves before deciding one way or the other.
I don't think there's reason for concern about LFC's place on their priority list either. They've already invested a shedload of cash in the club, besides which they actually sold off some of their holdings in the US a while ago. They need LFC to succeed. It's why they're concerned now.
May well be, but I'm sure he was given a target of a top four place this season and, if he stays, my bet is that that target will be given extra teeth, i.e.4th place minimum or you're out. In their position I'd defo want some of the support staff gone and, if they're Rodgers' men, that may make a difference.
Oi Henry,Werner & Co! your boy took a hell of a beating. Hands off Sox, on Kop.
Too much time stateside and not enough polishing of your limey 'franchise'.

It's probably a fucking train.

That's not just speculation is it? That's come from the man with the tan I'm guessing?
Who said he was sacked last week
If I were running the show I wouldn't be flying in to talk to the football manager exclusively, I'd be here to resolve the broader management issues.
There seems to be some confusion as to who is responsible for what and even who is in charge and directing operations cf. this Gordon guy.
Anonymous persons and committees all over the place, who are these people? Are they experienced, qualified with a track record?

Everything is pointing at giving Rodgers the first part of the season to prove himself & then sacking him if he fails to deliver.
I just hope the owners have been in touch with Klopp/Carlo to get assurances they can take over, cos if he's failing come November & there's no decent managers available it'll be a massive fuck up.

The man with the tan has been saying he's getting sacked
Which would be the wrong way to do it imho.
The summer is obviously the best time for a change. Swapping in November is not gonna help the new manager with players and tactics etc. It will just result in 1 more year of falling behind the top 4.
I would be surprised if that was how things are decided.
It'll either be now or next year, unless we have a truly awful first third of the season
To me, if that were the case, it would be rank bad management. Also I can't believe a suitable manager would wait around to see if maybe the current incumbent messed up. What if BR succeeds?, would we say thanks Jurgen for waiting but the boy done good, you can fuck off now?
