    I thought initially their lack of spending was due to FFP but its not. They had plenty of leeway to make purchases but chose not to. It must be something to do with the owners tightening the purse strings. They run Thailand duty free outlets so suspect they have been hit by lack of travellers. Trouble is their outlay on salaries is a very big part of their turnover and its not something you can easily reduce without letting your best players go.

    They are one of the 19 clubs that UEFA are officially monitoring for potential issues with FFP. Not in breach now, but could be if they don't balance the books under the 'break even' rule in the next 12-18 months. Probaly why they held out for silly money for Fofana and why they quoted us high values for Maddison and Barnes. And why they didn't spend big.

    They won’t be getting into Europe any time soon so its probably not an issue.

    12m to get rid of Rodgers.

    Can’t see them sacking him.

    But it looks like he is doing whatever to get his big pay check.

    Apparently he wanted to come to us as well.
    I can see this one happening as the new manager will want a decent war chest to rebuild.

    A fight with him would be interesting, you'd just be standing there waiting for a fight while he punches himself endlessly. Eventually after he's beaten himself up, you'd have to be nice and say he's won the fight, cos technically he has even though it was a against himself, he's both lost and won the fight at the same time.

    I also read that he wanted to come. But not really sure why we didn’t push it. Possibly because they wanted 50m?
