Ex-Liverpool midfielder Jan Molby believes that the club should grant manager Brendan Rodgers more powers in the transfer market and do away with their transfer committee.

Molby believes Rodgers having more control over his signings would make him more accountable for the Reds' fortunes and suggests to the former Denmark international that the Northern Irishman would be more successful if this were to be the case.

In his column for the Liverpool Echo, Molby wrote: 'People are talking about another rebuilding job again. It's the last thing you want but we need to do something that's for sure.

'Brendan Rodgers will have some input on who is signed. As the manager you would like to think that he has the final input.

'We are aware there is a transfer committee and if nothing else maybe doing away with that transfer committee could be the best thing for Liverpool to do because it hasn't worked and it's a question as to whether you trust that transfer committee to spend money again in the summer.

'Maybe we should give more power to the manager? At least then it's a lot easier to judge Brendan if we know he's 100% responsible for all the signings.'

Molby won three league titles with the Reds in his spell on Merseyside which ran from 1984 to 1996.
