All of this happened because we dont have a chief executive/director of football based in Liverpool. Ian Ayre is currently our managing director, he may be good on the business side(sponsors) but he isn't good enough to handle football matters.
Brendan Rodgers should have someone to report to, someone to sanction all the deals, someone to monitor day-to-day basis on what is going on at the club.
Someone like David Dein would be nice, eventhough he rejected us before.
@amarjourno: Sky Italia are reporting that #LFC are interested in signing Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero”
Nik @TouchlineDrama Sky Italia reporting that Liverpool are not only interested in Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero, but have now made him a contract offer.
@EPLStuff Liverpool are trying to sign Alessandro Del Piero (free agent) after Brendan Rodgers held talks with the player.
I agree on we were unlucky last season, if only we finished our chances we'd be the contender for 4th.
There's also myth about Downing, he didn't have a bad season. He created many chances but the problem was the finishing. Well like Duke said, if you only watched the highlight you wouldn't know.
If only Downing shot against Sunderland last season had gone in, we wouldn't be treating him like this.
Many judge players on stats, yes he had no goals, yes he had no assists but that doesn't tell you the whole story. Sometimes my friends/relatives said "Downing?dah ade assist blum?" , when he scored against Gomel "eh Downing score?" , I feel like I want to smack them in the head.
here is a fact : - Stewart Downing created the most chances for team mates without recording a single assist in the premier league at 55.

Added on September 5, 2012, 2:10 pmanother thing, people are quick to blame Downing because of his price tag. "Downing for 20m with no assist no goal?waste of money" . Its not his fault, same as Carroll.
