A reply: "Rodgers."
His signings aren't just a "few" stinkers. He's spent a huge amount of money even by today's standards, and the majority of them have been duds. Sahin was one of the most expensive loans in Premier League history, IIRC, and he's loaned two other flops in Moses and Cissokho. The facts suggest he's poor in the transfer market.
I don't think anyone here's suggested that he's anything other than a good manager. He's been quite fortunate this season, though, that his big guns haven't suffered long or medium term injuries at the same time (unlike Arsenal and City), and the lack of CL and Europa league football has meant his players have gotten considerably more rest than the other three teams.
He's had one good season at Liverpool, and one terrible one. He's got to have multiple great seasons before the sane people stop laughing at the RAWK crowd hailing him as the Manager King.
