my argument would be that the arrogant FSG experiment has failed.
last year's success was artificial - smoke and mirrors, with the world class Suarez pulling the team to near the top of the mountain.
To be fair Dude they have invested money and the purchase
of Luis Suarez came on their watch. They're also doing work on
the stadium (and increasing ticket prices

).
So they're not all bad.
Also, if they have a particular model regarding achieving success
and maintaining financial stability, then fair enough.
My reckoning is that they've dipped their toe in and had some
success and some failure. It's not bad given the low point in
the clubs history when they took over.
Look if you were to have LVG as Director of Football attracting the
cream of Europe's young talent to the club and revamping our own
youth set up in the process, then with Rodgers as
coach there
is no real problem. Such a set-up is not to everyone's taste, obviously
at LFC we like our patriarchal gaffers. The point is it's a workable scenario,
we have big club, world football experience in place and the coach can
be swapped in and out without sacrificing continuity.
That's not the situation that we have and if you think management of first
team affairs is amateurish (suspect decision-making), can you just imagine
what is happening under Rodgers watch in other areas of the club - as Tes
reminded us he got rid of was it, Segura, Borrell and Mc Parland. I mean
personally, I'd struggle to put any of the people who sit beside him on the
bench in charge of even the youth teams.
If you were to ask me, I'd say phase 1 over lessons learned, time to ditch the
amateurs and get professional in. Otherwise I go along with Tes and see Aston
Villa under Lerner as worrisome spectre in the distance (for us that means
permanently mired below the top 4, with occasional cup runs). A youth team
(managed by a youth team coach) for the top 4 clubs to plunder.
