"Btw, we are all very much aware that Brendan Rodgers is not only on The Transfer Committee but negotiated a final say on all signings when he signed his new contract, yes?
Two things Ive heard since then:
(a) the final say has not been adhered to, meaning signings the manager didnt want, who he has subsequently treated like shit and not given them a fair crack at the whip. FSG is fucking fuming with this.
(b) the final say has been adhered to and FSG, Henry in particular, is fucking fuming for wasting another £100m, just like under Kenny. Thus, FSG/Henry are now intent on implementing the Director of Football post they wanted to introduce when they sacked Kenny, to stop this from happening again. Problem being every manager they targeted (we all remember Rodgers was about 4th choice?) including Brendan, refused to work under a DoF. This has got Rodgers back up just months after being so trusted.
I dont know what to believe, but I know things are very cold behind the scenes.
Im sure the lads of TAW know this as well or have heard this but havent said so on here or on the radio/podcast. Possibly out of respect for the club, possibly due to journalistic integrity, possibly due to hoping/thinking its not true and things would right themselves quickly.
But were in a bad way again. Not Kicks/Gillette/Hodgson bad, but pretty fucking bad. So bad it would take two hours to write all about it. Ill leave that for the coming days and coming defeats to Madrid and Chelsea I think."
