Rodgers certainly wasn't my choice although I did prefer him to Martinez. I actually wanted us to get Rafa back.
I know, my point entirely I wanted Rafa back, he would have come too, in fact I'm sure his contract negotiations would have been done very quickly. I would still have him back. Back to reality ... Rodgers has hardly been given a chance but he has to bend a little, accept help, realise his shortcomings - all managers have them and then - and then maybe we can push on.
Do you think he will admit his shortcomings and ask/get additional help in. I hear alot say he is driven/single minded etc.
He only had short coming once H&G arrived forcing him into a sell to buy policy. Before that, his transfer record was good. Sure he liked a FB or two but he got players like Reina, Alonso, Mascherano and Torres too. I don't think Rafa and FSG would work well though.
his transfer record was DECENT.... not eprfect but decent... it was nuts at the end i blame the goatee.. once he grew that (or was replaced ove rthe summer by an evil twin) he was muck think about it. 2005.. alonso signed but so was morientes 2006 pepe reina but bellamy 2007 torres but babel? i can't be bothered but it ended keanse... aquilani... so....
Bellamy was a good signing IMO, both times. Morientes and Babel were both sensible signings that didn't work out. If you're going to highlight his bad deals then selling Arbeloa for £3m and buying Glen Johnson for £17m is right up there!
I think Rafa was every bit as stubborn and dictatorial as BR seems to be. I respect him for the CL, and his love for the club, but I'm unsure whether I'd want him back. I think it's probably better to move on. Which I'm about to do right now. See y'all later.
I just had a look for him on wiki to see where he went after us and saw this, misread it and thought Tesco surely not, what a come down - This is actually where he went, Tecos UAG
