Prediction League The cost of going Backwards

So with the season coming to an end its time we looked at Martinez.

He spent £28m on an 18 goal flop and £4m on Besic. So far that investment has taken us from 5th down to 12th a slide of six places.

Be this may look bad, but we had a good run of results in the EL with our form slipping, our return to form happened as we were knocked out.

So how does this stand up to other sides how have dropped away from the heights of last season.

Let's use Liverpool as an example

So they spent £30m on Lallana and Lambert....

£20m on Lovren and another £16 on Balotelli

Let's not forget £20m on Markovic, £10m on Moreno and £10 on Can.

But this has reduced the backwards step to just three places so far.


So has Martinez really done a bad job?

 

Todgers being a complete gimp doesn't excuse Bobby brown shoes for a horrendous season

We started this season saying we had the best squad in a generation, by Feb we were thinking we could go down..............he's got it all to do to convince me that he's the real deal. A massive summer awaits us.

As for them, the same can be said, he's on thin ice by missing out on CL football and not winning a thing. Yesterday's interview tells you he knows it as well.

Facts are facts

Brendan IS the best man for the Liverpool job

 

Liverpool: 5th highest wages, a season of injuries and still 5th
Everton: 10th highest wages, a season of record spending and 12th

The fact that you don't even expect top 10 from your club anymore is delicious

 

Rodgers net spend last season £38m
Martinez net spend last season £37m

 

Net spend

 

Are Liverpool the only side to have players injured?

 

"I don't think there is pressure on ourselves, only what we have from within. Look at Tottenham ... [when] you spend over £100m you'd expect to be challenging for the league. "

Brendan Rodgers April 2014

Liverpool spend in the summer 2014 window - £117m

 

Liverpool are the only side to have lost the top 2 goalscorers in the league

 

They lost them?

Or sold one and kept the other

 

So he doesn't use net spend when talking about the £85m sale of Bale to Madrid

 

Nope.

However, he appears to have altered his view in the year since that declaration...

Where we sit now, fifth place and having reached two semi-finals is probably on a par with where we’re at.

Brendan Rodgers April 2015

Odd how he's changed his tune like....

 

Martinez

5 June 2013: "I'll get you in the Champions League"

7 March 2015: "It's very tough to get 36 points in this league"

 

#fail

Kenwright said that, not Martinez

 

Quoting Martinez

 

Yeah, he has changed his tune.

“I have absolutely no sympathy for Southampton,” said Rodgers “They have a choice as a club. They don’t have to sell. They had that choice. Maybe Southampton’s objectives have changed. They were on course to be a Champions League club, I believe, but, obviously, that has changed"

looks like Liverpools aim have also changed

 

"i love to make love to trannies and they give me scabby lips" said Rodgers in a recent talk to a reporter

#quotingrodgers

 

Who delivered our record PL points tally that very season, with a total that would have got us into the CL virtually every other year.

 

'It may or may not be this year but there's no doubt we're on the right road to winning a title here,' Rodgers said

So an open ended timescale
