Brendan Rodgers Thread

[Sweeney287]

Welcome Buck, now sort out the squad and go and buy some decent players to put us back up where we belong.

[Whelan]

The only problem I can see is this, the Northern Irish flag is shit, and their team is shit. I won't be rooting for them in any finals!

[Rorschach08]

I'm in.

 

I think he'll be ace, might take a while for the team to adapt to his style of play and I think the board might have to be strong as a percentage of our fans aren't exactly the most patient in the world, but I think he'll be a success given time.

[TheHowieLama]

Where the fuck did the snubbing go??!!

[Thants]

Remember this day.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm going to reign it in and have some patience with him.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Remember this day.

 

Why?

[Manny]

Can we still call him Blendan Lodgers?

[Whelan]

I still prefer Martinez, he has a better dress sense!

[Guest ShoePiss]

Does Rodgers wear scarfs?

[Red_or_Dead]

He ddeserves a chance, yet I am feeling absolutely underwhelmed by this appointment. I've just got an awful feeling that we are destined for mid-table mediocrity and we'll be going through this process again in the next 12 months.

 

Feeling really despondent.

BROWN SHOES!!!!

[Mr T]

I know nothing about him. I can't be bothered to read anything about him. But I'm relatively pleased with his appointment. I don't why, it's just a hunch.

[TheHowieLama]

BROWN SHOES!!!!

 

A nightmare walkin.

[Whelan]

BROWN SHOES!!!!

 

Yes, worn the correct way with the right colour they can be quite smart!

 

The absence of Football kits from our Manager will be welcomed!

[Jairzinho]

We're going to win the league.

 

You can quote me on that.

It's just wrong

[Guest ShoePiss]

Bullet dodged.

[smicer07]

Shite. And another 5m down the shitter in the process.

[The Guest]

It's a fucking ballsy appointment. It's going to upset a lot pf people but it should get exciting knowing we are going to see something different next year.

 

I don't think we will get top four but i don't reckon we will regardless of who is in charge. I just want to see progress. With regards to signing players I bet you Suarez didn't have a fucking clue who Kenny Dalglish was when he signed for us. Players will sign for LFC if not the manager.

 

In my opinion, after they decided Kenny was going, it was time to take a risk like this and I'm glad we've gone for someone positive rather than negative.

[JohnnyH]

Have to laugh. On an Everton forum they have been slaughtering Martinez since we were linked with him. Now Rodgers is all but confirmed, they are saying that Rodgers is shite and only did well with Swansea because he inherited a very good Martinez team. Couldn’t make it up. Even one or two Everton fans are pointing out how daft they sound.

[Evil_Ways]

You oughta do read up on him, it should make you feel more pleased if this comes off. Really exciting manager that comes across very well.

[Dicko]

I would have been fine with Kenny having another year, but once he was gone Rafa was my first choice, AVB second but that is without accounting fo the new structure and what that would mean.

 

The point about Rafa which has been overlooked is that when he was appointed at Valencia their fans were furious because they had just been to two Champions league finals, won the Spanish cup and many felt he was a huge step down from Hector Cuper, and in all fairness at the time they were right. But that is not relevant, what is relevant is that he surpassed Cuper's achievements, despite there being no indication that he had that ability. I am pretty sure that Valencia didn't expect to win to titles, I am pretty sure their planning wasn't to become champions.

 

Rodgers is a good coach, I don't think that can be denied, he is 39 so it is very unrealistic to expect him to have a stellar CV, particularly without a premier football career to negate the lower leagues, like Keane and Guardiola, he plays good football and he builds teams, and in the absence of huge money he may be able to offer us better value in setting the team up right, and to make the most of the money that will be spent.

 

I understand that Whelan I'd counter that by saying if there were three League & European Cup winning managers willing to listen to Valencia he may not have got a look in.

 

I'm willing to give Rodgers a chance, but if he has sole control of the playing side & who's brought in (and I think he will) then I think it stinks.

 

It's the equivalent of picking Hodgson over Pellegrini not on ability but because he was English.

 

That's not what's happened here but the decision was not taken with ability as the overriding factor.

 

And if there's no DoF with him I'd be bitterly disappointed and wonder just who exactly is advising FSG.

Don't be silly. Agree with the rest of your post, though.

Just skip the bit about Reading.
