Brendan Rodgers is our manager

[RobbieOR]

Bit shit the way people pile into journos who are doing a job they often could never do. People like Pearce - and I don't know the lad - are working under the kind of time and staff pressures the likes of Bascombe never did.

 

A journalist gives information people want to hear = they're a great lad

 

A journalist gives information people don't want to hear = they have an agenda.

 

It's tiring.

Again, I don't know the lad but I guarantee he'll be under far more pressure than his predecessors. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even get sent to away matches, certainly European games, because of the cost. Probably gets about 40 minutes to write a piece that Bascombe would have had a day to write, and Rick George a week.

 

Newspapers are much more shamelessly commercial than they used to be too, if there's business relationships to be maintained with the club or sponsors, he'll be told to go easy.

 

It's a different world.

[VladimirIlyich]

Not sure why anybody,let alone a former Premier League manager,needs to announce their engagement on Twitter.

Oh for the days when people would keep this stuff to themselves and close friends and family.

 

To me,Rodgers comes across as trying too hard to promote himself and would benefit from taking a step back,and down,as I am certain he will get another job. It just wont be as high profile as ours. Once he accepts this then he will become part of the managerial merry go round and will have a decent career.

Strange post, that. Shooting him down because he dares to have ambition

 

It's a whole generation of British managers and coaches I find. They go and have a coffee with Marcello Lippi and watch Barcelona train for 10 minutes and suddenly they think it's their mission to come home and enlighten the backwards English game with their half-baked bollocks. Next thing you know they're attaching electrodes to players' nipples and deploying them in an inverse Christmas tree formation with four sweepers and no strikers.

Nah he and another fella from the echo called Neil Jones get sent to European away games. They haven't turned off the tap on that yet.

Can you imagine the pressure Pearce is under -- I mean srsly? Imagine it?

I'm a bit behind the times as I didn't know he got engaged. I was half wondering why the Rodgers thread seemed to be active again. 

 

Anyhow, without reading what everyone has said, my thoughts are as follows:

 

1. I'm happy for a man who is happy, but...

2. It should be a private thing, not a social media/media spectacle. 

3. I can't help but think of his first wife too. I don't know anything about their split, but I suspect Brendan never proposed to her in Times Square, so I can't help but wonder if the 'show' of all this is a little jab at her? 

 

Anyway, if he's happy, good luck to him and all that. 

 

But I'd have preferred it to have been more discreet as this sort of thing seems a bit Hello magazine to me I'm afraid. 

 

Obviously I am in danger of sounding like an old dinosaur, but them's my thoughts!

Agree with every word Rex, sorry Rev. I mentioned about a Hello wedding myself. Brendan will look good in white. His teeth prove that.

Rodgers doesn't have twitter. Some random guy photographed him and put it on the internet.

The sad cunt.

[Ginny]

Did he set someone up to take that picture then? Or was it some random for publicity. Either way BROD has some balls doing that. Couldn't be arsed myself like but perhaps that's why he's gonna be earning the big bucks.

[tomyam scouse]

"Some random guy photographed him and put it on the internet." I'm sure if you were somebody who had been on the telly every week for years, it would never cross your mind that going down on one knee with a bunch of roses and proposing to your woman in the middle of Times Square at the busiest time of the evening might lead to someone doing that. What do people like Rogers need to do to get a bit of privacy these days?

[stringvest]

Sticking this in here just because.

 

 

Same bloke has this as a pinned tweet.

 

 

See, some people still have a quality ethic.

Deniability,nice one Brendan.

 

A bit like his signings then.

[TheHowieLama]

Move this thread to Former Managers thread and pin it permanently under Rafa's thread-- it sickens me to see this on the FF.

 

People look at this shit fer chrissakes Usher.

You're talking shite. No clue what his signings have to do with this.

I think it's a great advert for the forum.

[stringvest]

It's a dire warning for Jurgen should he not be able to turn us around and we get fed up of his crazy press conferences and touchline antics.

If you can support the Brendan Rodgers is our manager thread then why don't you just fuck off to RAWK?

Random guy my arse. How long does it take to kneel down and ask the question. And who the fuck is going to recognise him over the pond. Half the natives won't know who Steven Gerrard is never mind Rodgers.

Most don't even know where the UK is.

They may recognise him from Being Liver pool. The main actor in the mockumentary sitcom.

You could travel solo during end times through the arctic tundra and you'll still bump into a scouser.

It's hilarious how much Rodgers make most of the people on this forum seethe. I was just clarifying that Rodgers doesn't have a twitter so he didn't physically post the photo on the internet. It really shouldn't bother you too much, whether he knew the guy taking the photo or not.

[Tony Moanero]

Hating Brendan Rodgers is my reason for being, you cunt.
