In Rogers' first interview with the press, he mentioned how it would take a lot of money for transfers to get LFC working the way he wanted it. I would assume this came up in his interviews with FSG, and wasn't a sticking point.
More to the point, though, is who else is going to be appointed? Before Rogers' hiring was leaked, speculation had it that Louis van Gaal would be coming in as Sporting Director/Director of Football. It was thought that he would be handling transfers (and, I, personally, thought someone like him would be necessary to provide the clout we would need in the transfer market). But now, I understand, LvG has fallen out of favor with the owners, and whoever they might hire in his place, Rogers will still have higher authority. If so, I'm a bit confused (since that was the structure FSG had been preaching for some time), and also concerned that, however big the pile of money provided, we may have a hard time signing any targets if one of the other major clubs have their eye on them. The fact is, we haven't been in the Champions League for three years, we've been slightly-above-mid-table for the same number of years, and we don't look like we're going to have the heavy hitter in upper management that might convince players that LFC was truly on the verge of turning the corner. I mean, I seriously doubt anyone would rush to sign with us because we now have Brendan Rogers...
