I think Castagne wasn’t a bad signing. He can be quite steady, but in a team that is so inconsistent recently, he’s picked up that trait. 
 

Victor Kristiansen, I think has potential, he’s just a little raw. I think he’ll come good. Not to Fuchs standard, but decent. Just needs a full pre season and a steady situation to bloom. I have faith in him. 
 

Daka I had so much hope for.

Unbelievable ! The only decent ones were  Lookman ( loan )  & JJ who made an impact and then . Youri deal was already done. Talk about spunking it up the wall !

You don’t think Wes Fofana was a decent signing?

That Ryan Bennett signing still annoys me today. If only we had a bit more ambition and pushed the boat out we might have secured champions league that season.

Congerton... why does nooone mention this charlatan

That's what Brendan wanted people to do. Don't look at me look at him. Hoping we'd all forget that it was him that brought him to the club.

He was about 6th choice at wolves when we decided we wanted him. That says it all

Some decent signings, some that looked good on paper but haven't worked out, then there is some absolute shockers in there,. If you looked at every managers record it would be similar. I think its more about the contracts we've offered these players and how we've struggled to move them on if they haven't worked.

Where my head is at, I’d rather be in the Championship having to make astute signings and having to really consider every financial detail to not jeopardise our club further. Rewind a few months, and I was fearing going into the summer with Rodgers overseeing our biggest ever rebuild with that complacency still in tact, that for me would have seen us off as a club for good.

 

I know they weren’t the two only possible outcomes, but I have said it for a while, this club needs a major wake up call and this thread is the perfect example of why. Relegation will mean that senior figures cannot hide or take accountability, it’s going to rock us to the core but we simply could not continue as we were.

They're not Rodgers signings. 

 

They're Rudkin signings and even then they'll all have been picked out, evaluated watched and analysed by different scouts and data analysts under different heads of recruitment. 

 

I really wish we'd get over this absolute obsession with attributing responsibility for signings to managers. Rodgers job was managing the squad he was given, he did so poorly and was sacked.

Oh dear, I normally like Ally but he's way off the mark here. The problem is, too many pundits just look at last summer rather than looking at the money he's spent since he joined. The only person who sees right through Rodgers is Simon Jordan and thats because he's a former chairman rather than a footballer.

Rodgers brought congerton to the club. He headed up recruitment. Yes it was Rudkin who gave the contracts, but he was working on information given to him by Congerton and his team. I don't for one minute back Rudkin or want to defend him but Rodgers is as much to blame as anyone for the recruitment as he was given too much power and he brought congerton in

McCoist is right. The thing is, Rodgers didn’t get enough out of the players he had at his disposal and certainly ****ed up in many ways, there’s no denying that, but no one can sit there and say that the club adequately supported him and gave him the tools to succeed in the past 18 months. 
 

Again, Rodgers underachieved, but it’s not all his fault. I don’t know what we expected but when we didn’t sign anyone apart from Faes to replace Fofana.

No, Rudkin brought Congerton to the club. The manager doesn't hire and fire the head of recruitment. 

 

Now, absolutely, Rodgers' prior relationship with Congerton and possibly his recommendation may have absolutely been considered. I'd say that's likely. 

 

But even a head of recruitment doesn't have complete authority to go and find and sign players. He's just manages the department that identifies potential talent and will help shape a recruitment strategy. He isn't out there on his own picking players and buying them. 

 

He's got a whole army of personnel both watching footballers play and studying their statistics, the majority of whom are likely long term employees of the club who have seen head coaches and heads of recruitment all come and go. 

 

Seriously, some of our fans need to put FIFA and Football Manager down and stop watching Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall driving round the country tapping up old pros. 

 

Like it or not, that isn't modern football.
