Since Damien Comolli left, Liverpool haven't had a Director of Football to oversee the transition between managers. DoFs have this really negative reputation where they are seen as anti-The Manager at every club, but it's very important that if your business is signing multi-million pound assets (players) and the manager needs to be replaced, those same assets can be used by the next one. Furthermore, the philosophy at a club, or the style of football, needs to be the most important thing considered for it to work in the longterm. Surely? That said, there's a reason managers like Louis Van Gaal are afforded money and time to build entire teams and clubs. Some managers have experience of doing just that - Rodgers has failed so far. If Jurgen Klopp comes in and goes "the goalkeeper is absolutely horse, there are too many average midfielders and the striker is broken", he'll probably expect the finance department to give him a bunch of cash to spend on new ones. What becomes of the players they bought for Rodgers? Sold at a loss, probably. I'm pretty sure you get get a Dejan Lovren down the market for a tenner at the moment.
