I figure now that there were some serious irregularities with the Pepe deal and he’s falling on the sword for it (as he should).
Seems like Kroenke wants a bit more insight into what’s going on at the club and rightly so. Last summer the purse strings were loosened to allow a significant amount of money to go so it only seems right they want to account for that in light of a dreadful season.
Sanllehi deserves to lose his job. Hiring Emery was criminal, but wanting to extend his contract after the debacle in Baku says everything about him.
I do rate last summers window very highly but this seems like the right decision.
Last season the club buckled to fan pressure and wasted a LOT of money on transfers.
Kroenke is probably furious that we've consistently spent more than Liverpool NET (which is the actual cost to him) and then looks at the comparative state of the two playing squads.
It makes sense to me that the scouting network and those repsonsible for spending so much money with little to no return are getting targeted for change.
The big question now is what this means for THIS transfer window.
