Brendan Rodgers faces an end-of-season meeting with Fenway Sports Group as they demand answers to why Liverpool’s season finished in failure.
While FSG did not expect Liverpool to challenge for the title this season, following the sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona, it was hoped Rodgers would secure a top-four finish. Instead, Liverpool have flattered to deceive.
There is no indication that Rodgers’ job is under threat — FSG stressed after losing the FA Cup semi-final to Aston Villa that he was still their man — but he will be grilled by principal owner John W Henry, chairman Tom Werner and director Mike Gordon.
Meeting Rodgers will be part of a thorough review, particularly after FSG made their biggest investment ever in one transfer window last summer, when more than £110million was spent on eight players.
All aspects of the club will be assessed, with Liverpool’s five-man transfer committee bound to face close scrutiny.
Of the new faces, only Emre Can has performed to the levels expected. – Daily Mail
