That's what's happening really. Rodgers has squandered enough with the shite he brought in. The transfer committee might make a big money signing but Brendan will have nothing to do with it, he's lucky he's got 3 years left on his contract or else he'd be walking along with his assistants, out the door.
I read on Echo the owners are also furious with their scouting staff, they might be looking for a new job elsewhere as well.
