Does Rodgers deserve another season.

[Hades]

There's some evidence that he's good but it's all disregarded.  Short/selective memories.  

 

Offset by the fact he doesn't know how to replicate what he did well without the 3rd best player in the world.

[Russ Atmosphere]

I enjoyed the second half of Rodgers' first season (from January onwards).

He should repeat it, buy some good players as he did back then, win a tough cup game in his tenure, we'd all cheer up.

[G Richards]

I think Milner is a good player. He's also a good professional and he knows what it takes to win stuff. Doesn't seem right for us to turn our noses up at that. Obviously we need other players, especially up front, but Milner will be a good addition.

[Pureblood]

It'll cost 10x more in wasted transfer fees .If we carry on as we are.

 

It cuts both ways.  If Sterling goes Rodgers can point to his fee and Suarez's sale offsetting any losses.  Coutinho is another likely balance sheet success for the future.  

[Pureblood]

Offset by the fact he doesn't know how to replicate what he did well without the 3rd best player in the world.

 

That proves my point.  All disregarded and explained away, with no credit given to Rodgers.  

[Pureblood]

He should repeat it, buy some good players as he did back then, win a tough cup game in his tenure, we'd all cheer up.

 

Maybe he will?  Stranger things have happened.  

[Nightcat]

Great logic. Hodgson should be given credit for selling Torres for £50m too. He discovered, signed and nurture El Nino. Then sold him for profit, because we are a selling club.

 

 

 

 

brrr

[G Richards]

And if we're signing Ings I won't despair at that either, so long as we go in big for another striker. (I have doubts about Benteke and hope it's not him).

[Pureblood]

Great logic. Hodgson should be given credit for selling Torres for £50m too. He discovered, signed and nurture El Nino. Then sold him for profit, because we are a selling club.

 

Ask yourself, which type of manager is likely to increase the value of young attacking players... would it be Rodgers or Hodgson?  It's easy to see why Rodgers appeals to FSG.  He believes in attacking football and gives youth a chance.  Kerching.  

[Russ Atmosphere]

Maybe he will? Stranger things have happened.

Through adversity to the stars.

Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool FC review: Chairman Tom Werner to hold talks with Reds boss this week

Liverpool FC chairman on his way as review into club's failures continues

 

Liverpool FC chairman Tom Werner will hold talks with manager Brendan Rodgers this week, as part of the club's end-of-season review.

 

Werner will arrive on Merseyside in the next 24 hours, and will meet with Rodgers on Wednesday. He will be accompanied by Fenway Sports Group executive Mike Gordon, but the ECHO understands principal owner John W Henry will not be involved.

 

The club have insisted Rodgers' position is not under immediate threat despite that lowly finish, but the Reds boss is still to discover his fate and Werner's arrival, together with that of Gordon, who is an influential figure within the football arm of FSG, is set to accelerate the process.

 

The pair are expected to meet with Rodgers face-to-face on Wednesday, where the Reds boss will be asked for his thoughts on the season just gone, and his plan to take the club forwards in the future. Werner is also expected to attend a meeting of the Premier League shareholders on Thursday.

 

Rodgers, who is just 12 months into a four-year contract, looks set to be given the opportunity to convince the owners he can turn things around after a disastrous two months that saw Liverpool take just eight points out of the last 27 on offer, finishing sixth in the table, and with a final-day humiliation at Stoke City to boot.

 

His future will depend on the review, spearheaded by Gordon, with the Northern Irishman facing several uncomfortable questions over his failure to steer the team to Champions League qualification, and his inability to secure a trophy during his first three seasons on Merseyside.

Hodgson. He was a more competent Yesman.

 

Why should I celebrate about selling Suarez or Torres, though?

Eh?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Assuming that Balotelli, Borini and Lambert are all off:

 

Another striker, injury prone Sturridge, Origi and Ings will be our strikers going into next season. Hardly top 4 wannabe strike force. One more serious injury to Sturridge and we could be in the same boat as this season.

 

That still leaves us short up front in my book as Origi is untested in this league given Sturridge's injury woes. Unless we go for someone like Vletto in addition to a main striker that we hopefully will buy.

If Rodgers is so good with youth, how come Sterling has supposedly said that he will stay as long as Rodgers is gone

Because he's a little gobshite.

Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers MUST accept transfer committee stays or risk being sacked

 

22:30, 1 JUNE 2015 BY DAVID ANDERSON

 

Reds' top brass have no plans to fire their manager following end of season reviewbut that could change if he refuses to accept the status quo

 

Brendan Rodgers WILL survive as Liverpool manager - but only if he accepts the American owners WON'T change their transfer policy.

 

Rodgers is expected to meet Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon and club chairman Tom Werner in the next 24 hours, with the pair due to arrive on Merseyside on Tuesday.

 

Gordon will take the lead in conducting Rodgers’ end-of-season review, when they will examine the factors behind Liverpool’s desperate campaign.

 

Rodgers’ position is not under imminent threat, despite trailing in sixth after their 6-1 final-day thrashing at Stoke.

 

However, that could change if he tries to push for changes to the club’s transfer strategy, which involves a committee selecting targets.

 

Liverpool flopped this season even though they splashed out more than £120million on players, and it is believed Rodgers feels the club should adapt their philosophy in the transfer market.

 

He is understood to believe they should buy more older, 'finished product' players as well as young, promising talent to give his side better balance.

 

FSG are prepared to sanction his Bosman move for Manchester City's 29-year-old England midfielder James Milner - which should be confirmed after the international break - but are reluctant to change tack completely.

 

That is a red line for FSG and Gordon - the most senior figure on the transfer committee - and Rodgers could jeopardise his position if he were to push the point.

 

FSG may think the 42-year-old Northern Irishman, who has just clocked up three years at Anfield after moving from Swansea City, no longer buys into their philosophy for running the club.

 

The canny Rodgers has proved to be very astute during his reign, and it seems highly unlikely and out of character that he would take on FSG over the issue.

 

His position is also safer now Jurgen Klopp has claimed he will take a sabbatical after leaving Borussia Dortmund this week, having previously told friends in Germany he was keen on the Liverpool gig.

This just in....Rodgers fully prepared to accept status quo.....film at 11.

[Nightcat]

So the "robust review and changes" they were bullshiting about to the local Media, was in fact Rodgers "ACCEPTING" the continuation of the transfer committee.

 

We are a fucking joke.

I know. It's depressing. And with all the top managerial talent available too.

 

From top to bottom this club displayed a mentality of accepting second best which is something that I thought I'd never see.

Second best?

[ngogswilly]

A few people have called it already.

 

They are unlikely to want to make any changes because being typical American businessman they simply believe their model and ideas should work and if it doesn't work its something else thats wrong. 

 

What I don't get though is if they believe something else is the problem why won't they point the finger at anybody.

 

So far there seems to have been plenty of briefing to the press going on but none of it apportioning any blame to any great degree. 

 

Surely if Rodger's doesn't go the fucking scouts have to. Something has to change.

We're not even at the stage of accepting second best, we are now accepting 10th best. 

 

I start to genuinely believe what others mentioned as a joke, that we are internally sabotaged by Man UTD fans.

[Mr T]

Bunch of amateurish cunts. Rodgers is a dead man walking. It's close to impossible for him to turn it round here. Good money after bad persisting with him and his gang of lackeys.

[marcus50bucks]

Someone has got to be made accountable surely? Either the committee goes or Rodgers goes. To keep them both is negligent and is asking for the same problems again net season.
