Hi,

First time posting on here just wanting to weigh in on Brendan's sacking after having a bit of time to think about it.

I think it was definitely the right time for Brendan to go, and I am usually very lenient with managers. (I thought Rafa and King Kenny's sacking were too soon). I've heard some pundits saying Brendan should have been given more time, I disagree for the following reasons.

1.) Transfers - Spent waaaaay to much money on mediocre players and more annoyingly allowed good players to go to other clubs.

Why sign Milner, when Alex Song is available?
Why sign Origi when West Ham have Payet?
Why not try and get Cabaye?
Why bring in Firmino when you already have Lallana and Coutinho?
Why did you not bring in Shaqiri? Your telling me he would have chosen Stoke over Liverpool if we we would have shown him some interest?

2.) 4 Games that cost Brendan his job -
West Ham 3-0 at Anfield (All managers lose at anfield at some time but it should be a fortress).

1-1 vs Norwich. If there is one team we usually always beat at Anfield its Norwich.

1-1 vs Carlisle - No need to explain that one tbh, poor show.

1-1 vs FC Sion. The Europa League is pivotal to us, we haven't won a trophy in a while but also it can get us back into the CL. Will someone please take it seriously!!!

{Ed023's Note - Song and Shaqiri aren't good enough in my opinion but I do agree with what you're saying in respect to signing better players and buying multiple players who play the same position as players already at the club.

I think it's unfair on some of the players bought who haven't even had an opportunity or have been played out of position when they did get a game.

What a very poor post I have to say, transfers aren't as simple as they are on Fifa or football manager I'm afraid. Why didn't we trade Suarez for Messi?

That jonesred is because we have far too many players, far too many of which play the same position.

And that is the fault of a chaotic transfer policy.

Dont agree with your player choices but agree with the sentiment. The guys transfers were totally flawed. His comments about give me the tools and i can do the job is disengenuous to the club,the squad and the fans. The owners gave him every chance to succeed and he failed every time.

It bothers me that so many of the postmortems being written by the press are stating that the transfer committee hindered him,that the club is being blamed for failure to replace suarez gerrard and sterling.
He had 6 months to plan for Gerrards departure, and we got milner in. On 150000,no.7 shirt and vice captain. That wasnt the transfer committee.and that sums the man up. Remember he was offering fulham cash and henderson for clint dempsey.
Suarez we all knew was gona go. Ok he wanted sanchez who chose london ahead of liverpool fair enough. But wheres the other targets that fit that mold,why was the whole plan one player?surely youd compile a list of suitable replacements not just out everything on one player.
Sterling again knew he was leaving,we haven't signed one single winger or wide attacker.

The matches go back to last season, its not just the four you mention, take since the united loss last march/april, this season he was clearly given the chance to show something different,some change but he reverted to the same failing system with the same woeful performances. No change whatsoever just some new faces. But then after the villa game to come out and basically insult the squad and the owners saying he's not got the tools. sorry but anyone that's sticking up for the guy is delusional.
How many chances did the guy need.
Glad to see the back of him,the fraud.

I agree totally, Cmac. I posted the very same thing about the media giving BR cover for his failures by blaming the TC and the owners. He has been throwing every and anybody under the boss since he's been here for his failures and the media have eaten it all up. They allege that BR revealed to his friends that the TC is hampering him from getting players he wants. Well, we have seen the players he gets when given full control. Allen, Borini, Aspas, Assaidi, Luis Alberto ring a bell? The fact that the media is doing this shows how shameless, dishonest and untrustworthy BR's conduct was as manager. He was a big failure at transfers and the facts bear that out. No amount of spinning or deflection from the media will change that. Good bye BR and don't come back!
