Thanks Brendan

[The Maca]

well it's what we all wanted but it's still sad when LFC sack a manager.

 

apparently he had the 2nd best win rate of any LFC manager since the prem started - howevever football started before the premier league so that stat means fuck all to me

 

Good Luck Brendan

 

[El Rojo]

All the best to him. He can take a lot of credit for a fantastic season in 2013/14. Will be interesting to see what he does next.

[liverpoolsno9]

Yeah. Wish him all the best. Wanted him gone, but didn't like when some of the abuse turned turned personal. He didn't/doesn't deserve that.hell end up at Villa I reckon

[Sputnik1]

Good luck with the rebuilding of your career. Thanks for the second season.

 

If only you'd have had a wee bit of luck.

[The Maca]

agree mate the personal stuff wasn't nice to see

hope he does well at sunderland or wherever he ends up

 

he done his best it just wasn't good enough

onwards and upwards

[Babb'sBurstNad]

The second place was a hell of a ride, and I still think he was a key part in that.

 

No ill will from me, even if he was starting to get on my tits. He wasn't up to the job.

 

If he's smart he'll go abroad, learn to work with a small group of players again and stick to whatever system it is he claims to be his philosophy.

[SOFTLAD]

When it was bad it was very very bad, when it was good

[jsjazz]

As with all former Liverpool managers (bar Hodgson) I wish him well. No personal abuse, just think he'd run out of ideas and needed to start afresh somewhere else. I don't know if he is a good manager or not- will be interesting to see how his career develops elsewhere. Thanks for your efforts Brendan.

[BolshieBastard]

We all knew this was coming just the when was in question. I think even Brendan knew it was coming after the lacklustre performances and results.

 

 

Speaking for myself, Im not happy to see any Liverpool manager sacked, it is an admission that we arent good enough. One can speculate the reason for that and Im sure many will point the fingure at Rodgers but I just dont buy into that.

 

This club has been an almost basket case since 1990. Disasterous managerial appointments, stays of execution, poor buys and the wrong mindset have all contributed to where we are now.

 

I dont buy into the growing urban myth that the oh so near title challenge was down to suarez. It was a team effort and but for toure's gift to the blueshite lardarse at west brom, the collapse at Hull, a defeat to southampton and yes, maybe even an over confident approach to that chelsea game, rodgers would be lauded as a hero and not the zero many now want to label him as.

 

So, my thanks to rodgers for 2013/14, the football in the last half od the season was simply exhilarating and the best Ive seen at Anfield under any manager for many a year.

 

But now is the time for us to move on. My great fear is the owners will continue with this experiment and appoint an eddie howe, gary monk or some other lesser manager to fit their strategy.

 

Im far from convinced we'll get Klopp or Ancelotti but one can always hope.

[The Maca]

we seen some scintillating stuff but then we also seen some dross

 

I wish you well Brendan

wherever you go next fuck that 3 at the back off

[robbiefowler9]

Meh

[Bobby Hundreds]

[ZonkoVille77]

Thanks. Just not good enough.

[stringvest]

Good luck lad.  You gave it your best, but even with all the cards stacked in your favour, it wasn't quite good enough.  Your persistent chatting and your inability to organise a defence or motivate the team has meant that hands that were once in the bucket ended up doing wanker signs.  Take some time off to reflect, bin the dossier, and come back humbler and wiser. 

 

 

Not here though, like.

[The Maca]

you're right zonko

but for a couple of blips he might have been a hero in the title challenge year

I don't know him personally so wont abuse him

I'm sad it didn't work out and wish him  well

Lets hope we get the next appointment right

[Oh Buoy]

I'd probably cancel the teeth whitening appointment, mate. 

[xerxes]

Gravity cannot be denied.

[ZonkoVille77]

Gravity cannot be denied.

What about in a vacuum?

[Grinch]

Look forward to watching him take some shite like Newcastle down then disappear into oblivion as the world catches on he's a spoofter with all talk and no substance.

[SammyAftershave]

Chin up Brendan. Don't spend all of the reputed £7 million severance package in the same shop (or knocking shop) Expand your property portfolio and make it greater than the sum of the parts of your dossier and confine the deeds to your valise. You never know what's around the next corner.

[J-V]

[King Emlyn]

It was the right decision. He did his best and came up short, no shame in that. Despite the opinions of most I thought he carried himself very well, never melted down the way virtually all of his predecessors did, genuinely wish him success moving forward.

[Section_31]

I would have shared these sentiments if he'd gone in the summer but I lost all respect for him for the way he relentlessly refused, ever, to accept any responsibility.

[xerxes]

To be fair to Brendan he came to us never having won anything, with one year’s PL experience, no experience in Europe or at the top end of the transfer market and no experience of putting a team together. He didn't make that up- it was true.

 

That the results perfectly reflected that CV should come as no surprise.

 

No top four team will give him a job now because he has won nothing, no aspiring tea willlet him spunk £300m, and no European time will give him a job because of his abject performance in European competition.

 

Blackpool? Rotherham?

[an tha]

He acted with dignity here and led us in the best league season we have had for a long time.

 

He wasn't up to it in the end but he tried and did his best.

 

Good luck to him.

 

It was the right decision to sack him, just a few months too late though.
