And he is a manager who has had full control over transfers and what a balls up he has made.
over 200m, so that's 2 league titles he owes them right?
A more accurate question would be: Have the media finally decided to stop licking their bungholes and start asking some questions?
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says he remains the best man to take the club forward.
The Reds, who trail Premier League leaders Chelsea by 15 points, went out of the Champions League after drawing 1-1 with Basel on Tuesday.
They travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.
"The message for me, is clear. I don't think there would be anyone better to do the job here," Rodgers said.
The 41-year-old continued: "Seven months ago we nearly won the title. I had time to work with players and, above expectation, took them beyond where the club has been.
"This has been a difficult start with new players, less coaching time, young players, virtually starting again.
"I don't think there is anybody better equipped to deal with that having been here for the last two-and-a-half years and experienced what this club is about."
Former Liverpool captain Mark Lawrenson this week accused his old club of being "rudderless" and "going backwards just as fast as they went forwards last season".
The Reds finished third in their Champions League group behind Real Madrid and Basel, meaning they will enter the Europa League knockout stages in February.
"I am more determined than ever to succeed here. You want to be at a club with this expectancy," Rodgers said.
"The players know what is expected of them. Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in the world. The ability to express ourselves has not been part of us for whatever reason this season.
"The one thing we have retained is spirit, no matter the outside influences. Our focus is back on getting ready for the weekend. We will be ready."
Liverpool beat Manchester United 1-0 at Anfield and 3-0 at Old Trafford last season, on the way to finishing second in the league.
"This is always a massive game in the fixture list in this country. It's more than a football game. You're are representing a city and a set of supporters," Rodgers said.
Surely unthinkable that Liverpool could sack Rodgers after what he achieved last season. It would be hilarious after some of his comments about Spurs sacking their managers but though I despise him I do think he is a very good young manager.
its clear that Rodgers is nothing special, it was all about having a certain biting urugyan scoring bucketloads. a good manager would have bought well and made appropriate adjustments, rodgers hasn't.
