    I presume its money spent in relation to whatever we qualify for, only ins will probably be loans prior to CL qualifiers.

    Don't see the point in holding Tilio back, I'd rather play a youth player.

    If this is true this is a major issue. The same way he has the power over appointing whoever he wants as the manager.

    At the end of the day he's just a shareholder. He owns about a 34% but seems he has 100% of the say.

    We really need someone in there with a different viewpoint rather than all his * kissing yes men

    Yet, for some weird reason we still have people who refuse to acknowledge that our board do not give a * about the footballing side of the business - you know, the football, the thing that we fans spend their hard earned cash on to watch. We are nothing but an afterthought and will continue to be as long as there is no legal avenue available for ordinary fans to have their voce heard.

    Did say it’s all speculation but I don’t think it’s hard to see it being true or at least partially true.

    We know he has personally been involved in appointing managers.

    There’s been reports that he’s the one who sets the transfer budget.

    So wouldn’t be surprised if he’s approving bids before they go in.

    Probably Rodgers trying to prove a point.. but we can actually play Nygren on the right..

    So just let him go ffs

    This is utterly pathetic this window. We should be miles ahead and gearing up for another solid European run, but instead they’re strengthening, while we’re in a worse position than what we were at the end of the season - it’s scandalous..

    In terms of Desmond.. he probably sets a transfer budget and let's them crack on..

    And loves Lawwell so much because we never spend it..

    I don't know if it should really matter that this may or may not be Rodgers last season, a club of our size should still have a professional recruitment team that are on the ball regardless of the managerial position.

    The truth is there is no excuses left anymore.

    I find this very interesting! Yesterday, we had one of Lawwell's mouthpieces come out with the "Perfect Knowledge Merchants" article and now today we have this, which almost seems like a response. It's all polite in public; but it sounds like maybe there's a real battle going on behind the scenes.

    Why would Desmond stall transfer negotiations for several weeks? It's absolute bullshit.
