'Bring back Souey!' - LFC hero's solution to FSG's 'nonsense' committee. Agree?

Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has poured scorn on the idea of 'technical committee' at Anfield, accusing FSG of trying to 'Americanise' Liverpool, to the overall detriment of the club.

Discussing the proposed technical committee on ESPN, Nicol branded the idea 'absolute nonsense' and argued that Rodgers would probably want 'nothing to do with it'. He noted:

"It [the technical committee idea] smacks to me of 'Americanism', like in American Football, where they have one guy who gets the players and gives them to the coach. And when things go wrong, guess who gets the bullet: the manager"

Nicol then outlined a different system that he believes would yield more success. He explained:

"It [the technical committee] is absolute nonsense. They [FSG] had an opportunity to bring Rodgers in and have Kenny to guide him, just like it was with Bob Paisely.

"And it didn't have to be Kenny; it could've been Roy Evans, or Souness, or Houllier - there's plenty of guys with experience that Rodgers could've lent on. You don't need a committe. You know what they're like, they can never agree on anything"


The general idea of having an experienced club man working with Rodgers is a good one, but Souness? The man is a legendary player, and one of LFC's greatest ever midfielders, but like Dalglish, George Graham, and other 'old school' managers, Souness a relic of a bygone era that doesn't have much relevance in the modern football world.

I agree with Nicol re the technical committee being 'nonsense'. Rodgers refused to work with Director of Football prior to accepting the job, so why would he now agree to an even more unacceptable level of bureaucracy?

I hope Rodgers resists the technical committee idea; there is no historical evidence to suggest that such a structure works in English football, and no English club has ever achieved success with a 'committee' structure in place.

I support FSG, but this idea is a bad one. The creation of a 'technical committee' basically means they don't have complete faith in Brendan Rodgers, and why would the manager want to work in a structure where his input into important transfer matters is largely marginalised?

Would Arsene Wenger accept such an arrangement? Would Alex Ferguson? Absolutely not, so why should Rodgers accept it?

  2. The manager has to have the final say on who the club purchase. He's a lame duck coach otherwse. Completely against the idea. Can't comprehend it all. Seems they have been scarred immensly by Dalglish and Comolli's negligence and want to develop some sort of system whereby the manager's transfer judgment isn't king. No manager of credibility and honour wuld accept this nonsense.

  3. This is old news isn't it. Rogers himself said, on taking the job, that a group would meet to discuss targets. I'm sure it happens everywhere it's just that our owners insist on spinning everything through the official website.

    And Steve Nicol...... I feel for the guy, he was a great player but he blows a gasket at anything these days. Bonkers.

  4. Never mind souness, Benitez should be the head of this commitee, if we want to move forward ? Rafa has what it takes to be successful, and no doubt would bring in some great signings, for our club, and thats that.

  5. Nicol is being laughably reactionary. There is nothing inherently wrong with committee based decision making and it is certainly better having a group of skilled pros making decisions instead of 1 man and a dinosaur peering over his shoulder. If trying to organise the club along mainstream business model lines, using stats and collective decision making is Americanisation, then I am all for it.

  6. I think the committee is Pascoe etc who Rogers has already chose. Im sure there are quotations from Brendan about ot from a good few weeks ago, i dont think its new.

  8. Not really sure what to think about all this technical committee stuff at the Club, like do we actually have it in place already..? Or is it still in the stage of being a proposal...?

    If JK believes it shows a lack of belief in BR then why are they proposing it?

    Just doesn't add up.

  10. Yeh blame Dalglish. that's the only answer certain so called supporters can come up with. Before that it was blame Hodgeson. Oh and why not blame Rafa and Houlier before him, then there was Evans do I need to go on, you sound like the Condems blaming all their cockups on Labour but conveniently forgeting their mates the bankers. Get over it and just get on with backing FSG if it hadn't been for them we wouldn't have a club to support, unless you count AFC Liverpool.

  11. Steve Nicol doesn't strike me as particularly bright or thoughtful. He always takes the most simplistic point of view and can't seem to see past surface detail. He can't even express himself clearly where he talks about an "American" system with one person to do recruitment and then a "coach" but when it goes wrong the "manager" gets the boot. Doesn't he mean the "coach" gets the boot? And that's not always the case. Clearly Nicol has no insight at all into how things work in American sports and yet he feels like he can build up some kind of straw man and call it "nonsense". In whose reality does a system become nonsense simply because it's developed and used in a different country? Are we prescribed only a fixed set of concepts that we can use in England when it comes to football, like a Bible of commandments that must never be changed because it would be foreign and therefore wrong? I'd implore JK to stop quoting Nicol when it comes to these kinds of topics. All he does is blow things out of proportion and generally get things wrong. It might make for interesting discussion but it's mostly pointless.

    I can't see how having a senior advisory manager would be much different from what FSG are proposing. So we might call one a committee while the other would be some old guy who can't cut it as a manager anymore. How is that a better solution? Keeping Kenny on to "help out" Rodgers would be far more insulting and a far more significant sign that the owners don't have confidence in the manager. What would Kenny's role be? Would he get to make decisions or would he just sit in the corner and occasionally offer advice only for the actual manager to simply continue to do things his own way? Your mentor is someone who acts in a senior position while you work under them, not the other way around. If someone is seriously considered as knowing more than you, as being able to guide you in some way, then they would by default be the person who should be making the actual decisions and doing the actual job. The only way that truly works is when a manager has an assistant who grows into the full role, after which point the existing manager is no longer in charge.

    Too much of this general reaction is just that: reaction. We don't really know what FSG are proposing, just a couple of vague articles which can only be 75% guesswork. We know that Rodgers is strong minded and would have talked about the options when he signed up. Any move now won't be a surprise to him and why would FSG suddenly be changing direction only a couple of months into the new manager's time at the club? And why can't this technical committee just be a group of people who operate according to Rodger's principals and under his guidance? This is how most organisations work and I struggle to think of any example of a successful "team" in any industry and any capacity that doesn't operate with some form of consensus. A CEO needs his VPs to run his company, a film director needs his director of photography to get him the shots that he needs and a football team manager needs someone else to go out and find him potential signings. Rodgers doesn't have the time or the capacity to do every single job at LFC, that's just reality. If FSG are simply talking about setting up a committee of staff members with more defined and dedicated roles then it's not something I'd consider even remotely problematic.

  15. I'd have to know the specifics of a committee before I damn it like everyone else. I think Liverpool needs structural changes to stop pissing away pounds year on year. Rodgers needs to be top of any pyramid and have the final say, but having a technical committee, which can provide stable on and off-field philosophy as we move through coaches (even if Rodgers is successful, he wont be here forever) is a good idea in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  16. You are most definately a fool! Benitez is the best LFC have had since Paisley,WITHOUT DOUBT !

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think there are ways that a technical committee can work... and many ways that it won't. It's hard to use a blanket statement and say that it is a bad idea.

    Say... if Rodgers held veto power, and it took X number of the other committee members to veto him then it could work as some sort of a check and balance.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I can see where you're coming from. Out of our last four managers he probably had the best eye for talent. That would speak in favour for your idea, but it surely is a very bad idea to install a man who wants the managers job himself as head of a committee that is supposed to support the manager.

    ReplyDelete
  19. It's an interesting question in light of one of JKs other articles: how else should Liverpool address their transfer market failures over previous years? We've given absolute power to managers in one form or another through that period where we've clearly spent large sums of money and, according to the experts, it hasn't worked. It's all well and good to say "we have to stop buying bad players" but no one would seriously suggest that any former manager was identifying targets they didn't think could make it at the top level. These managers have done their best and it's failed, quite badly. If having a committee of advisers and taking some of that responsibility away from the manager is not a change worthy of being made, how else does the problem get fixed? We can't complain when it's not working and then complain about the alternatives that are put forward. Giving the manager sole responsibility for signing players at LFC has clearly not bee the right way to get things done.

  20. Barca, Real Madrid, Ajax, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, Bayern Munich are all run by committee. Why are English clubs too good to try it?, It works very well for them. It stops a manager having too much control, Is that so bad?????

  21. Nicol is just bitter that he was a crap coach in the MSL.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Too right. Benitez will be undermining BR at every turn.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Do you think that, if Benitez would have taken over instead of Dalglish, we would have had Downing,a waist of space, £20m Henderson, nothing special for £16m Adam, to slow but the best out of a bad bunch £7m and Andy Carroll, who I dont think Rafa would have paid £15m for never mind £35m. I think with £78m at the time Rafa Benitez would have Fernando torres still here, with Suarez and maybe a few other world class players, we wouldn`t be in this situation now, a top four finnish wouldn`t be on our agenda, a tital challenge would be our goal. And thats my honest opinion. I hope Brenden comes good, but If he fails no more looking for a manager, when Rafas on our door step.

    A PL/SQL Block consists of three sections:
    •The Declaration section (optional).
    •The Execution section (mandatory).
    •The Exception (or Error) Handling section (optional).
    Declaration Section:
    The Declaration section of a PL/SQL Block starts with the reserved keyword DECLARE. This section is optional and is used to declare any placeholders like variables, constants, records and cursors, which are used to manipulate data in the execution section. Placeholders may be any of Variables, Constants and Records, which stores data temporarily. Cursors are also declared in this section.


    Execution Section:
    The Execution section of a PL/SQL Block starts with the reserved keyword BEGIN and ends with END. This is a mandatory section and is the section where the program logic is written to perform any task. The programmatic constructs like loops, conditional statement and SQL statements form the part of execution section.


    Exception Section:
    The Exception section of a PL/SQL Block starts with the reserved keyword EXCEPTION. This section is optional. Any errors in the program can be handled in this section, so that the PL/SQL Blocks terminates gracefully. If the PL/SQL Block contains exceptions that cannot be handled, the Block terminates abruptly with errors.

    Every statement in the above three sections must end with a semicolon ; . PL/SQL blocks can be nested within other PL/SQL blocks. Comments can be used to document code.

    This is how a sample PL/SQL Block looks.

    The Execution section of a PL/SQL Block starts with the reserved keyword BEGIN and ends with END. This is a mandatory section and is the section where the program logic is written to perform any task. The programmatic constructs like loops, conditional statement and SQL statements form the part of execution section.


    Exception Section:
    The Exception section of a PL/SQL Block starts with the reserved keyword EXCEPTION. This section is optional. Any errors in the program can be handled in this section, so that the PL/SQL Blocks terminates gracefully. If the PL/SQL Block contains exceptions that cannot be handled, the Block terminates abruptly with errors.

    Every statement in the above three sections must end with a semicolon ; . PL/SQL blocks can be nested within other PL/SQL blocks. Comments can be used to document code.

    This is how a sample PL/SQL Block looks.

  31. What is PL/SQL?


    PL/SQL stands for Procedural Language extension of SQL.

    PL/SQL is a combination of SQL along with the procedural features of programming languages. It was developed by Oracle Corporation in the early 90’s to enhance the capabilities of SQL.



    The PL/SQL Engine:

    Oracle uses a PL/SQL engine to processes the PL/SQL statements. A PL/SQL code can be stored in the client system (client-side) or in the database (server-side).

    About This PL SQL Programming tutorial


    This Oracle PL SQL tutorial teaches you the basics of programming in PL/SQL with appropriate examples. You can use this tutorial as your guide or reference while programming with PL SQL. I will be making this Oracle PL SQL programming tutorial as often as possible to share my knowledge in PL SQL and help you in learning PL SQL better.

    Even though the programming concepts discussed in this tutorial is specific to Oracle PL SQL. The concepts like cursors, functions and stored procedures can be used in other database systems like Sybase , Microsoft SQL server etc, with some change in syntax. This tutorial will be growing regularly; let us know if any topic related to PL SQL needs to be added or you can also share your knowledge on PL SQL with us. Lets share our knowledge about PL SQL with others.
    A Simple PL/SQL Block:


    Each PL/SQL program consists of SQL and PL/SQL statements which from a PL/SQL block.

    A PL/SQL Block consists of three sections:
    •The Declaration section (optional).
    •The Execution section (mandatory).
    •The Exception (or Error) Handling section (optional).
    Declaration Section:
    The Declaration section of a PL/SQL Block starts with the reserved keyword DECLARE. This section is optional and is used to declare any placeholders like variables, constants, records and cursors, which are used to manipulate data in the execution section. Placeholders may be any of Variables, Constants and Records, which stores data temporarily. Cursors are also declared in this section.


    Execution Section:
    The Execution section of a PL/SQL Block starts with the reserved keyword BEGIN and ends with END. This is a mandatory section and is the section where the program logic is written to perform any task. The programmatic constructs like loops, conditional statement and SQL statements form the part of execution section.


    Exception Section:
    The Exception section of a PL/SQL Block starts with the reserved keyword EXCEPTION. This section is optional. Any errors in the program can be handled in this section, so that the PL/SQL Blocks terminates gracefully. If the PL/SQL Block contains exceptions that cannot be handled, the Block terminates abruptly with errors.

    Every statement in the above three sections must end with a semicolon ; . PL/SQL blocks can be nested within other PL/SQL blocks. Comments can be used to document code.

    This is how a sample PL/SQL Block looks.
