Brendan Rodgers Thread

[Iceman]

This cunt couldn't snub us if he let down the tyre on our victory bus, the shithouse sheepshagging twat. When Liverpool come calling put down your fucking porridge you fucking nonce.

[Guest San Don]

Well if the guardian is to be believed, rodgers thinks its below him that we dont just fucking offer him the job based on what he has done already!

 

Perhaps he could remind us what he has actually done to be worthy of such belief?

[Ramjet]

I think this is a strange one, so I checked his odds to be next Chelsea manager and stuck a cheeky tenner on him at 50/1. I am surprised that he wouldnt wish to be considered, unless of course he has other plans.

 

I think if Di Mateo was getting the Chelsea job it would have been announced and Rodgers was a coach at Chelsea before.

[Liverpoolway]

I don't see the point in slating Rodgers. You haven't done the ground work right if you have to interview 12 people. I'm sure he'd reconsider if he was one of four or something.

 

Rodgers has a lot to lose if he's seen chasing the job, and then don't get it. He needs to keep the core of the Swansea team to ensure that if he stays he'll continue the excellent progress they've had so far.

 

I think he would be a better choice than both Martinez and Villas Boas. He has that thirst for knowledge that will ensure he'll keep on growing both as a manager and as a person. He comes off very well in interviews, and his team plays better football than most teams. In fact I think Swansea plays better football than any other team with similar resources.

The "new structure" as outlined by Ayre in the Independent wil put off a lot more people than Brendan Rodgers, San Don.

[TheHitman]

I will laugh my bollocks if Martinez turns the job down, could you imagine Whelan mouthing off.

[DooooodekNo5]

This week just sucks...

 

My first thought was "Cheeky Bastard" second was "Thank fuck for that" third was "What the hell are we doing?"

 

Next week we'll be having a fucking 'Careers Fair' at Anfield at this rate.

 

Do we really hope to attract a top man if we seem happy to offer this opportunity to just about anybody who manages a club who wasn't relegated last season?

 

Utterly clueless.

 

Unbelievable whats been going on lately and fucking embarasssing to , everyones taking the piss out of us and rightfully so were a joke.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

Klopp is another being reported to of turned us down as well now.

[Barzini]

He's holding out for the Real Madrid job when shitcoat fucks it off.

[Liam]

I personally think Rodgers doesnt want to look like he's whoring himself out. I think his thinking would be either make an offer to Swansea to take me off their hands or fuck off, I've got a season to prepare for.

[Brownie]

If it's between Martinez and Rodgers, i'd much prefer Rodgers to be honest.

[MLB]

If it's between Martinez and Rodgers, i'd much prefer Rodgers to be honest.

 

 

Me too. Rodgers at least seems to be able to organise a defensive unit.

 

Van Gaal would be my first choice currently, with Rodgers second.

[usernameunknown]

If it's between Martinez and Rodgers, i'd much prefer Rodgers to be honest.

 

Me too, theres a really good thread on rawk about him, theres some fascinating articles posted. Has some really interesting methods, or at least does in his head anyway!

[WaltonRed]

People on twitter saying he's in the States but not seen anything confirmed about that

 

Would prefer him over Martinez myself

 

If its either though there's going to be a large section of fans who wont be happy cos they wanted Rafa back

[Lee909]

Agree about Rogers over Martinez.

I can't understand how they don't seem to have a DOF sorted aswell,they need to work together.

Unless they have and want to announce all the changes in one go

[WaltonRed]

I think it'll be all in one go, probably in time for the new kit launch next week

[Randy Marsh]

If its between Rodgers and Martinez then we really are in a bad way. Repeat that sentence back to yourself. Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez. Good god. We are Aston Villa.

[The Acolyte]

Bollocks. You lot trying to justify such a shit choice by those thick yank cunts. No wonder no quality manager wants to come here, sack a manager to replace him with one who has never managed a team into the top 10 let alone Europe. They think a manager in football is like a coach in baseball, the fuck he is. They need educating but since they keep employing in-house they made sure there's no-one there with the balls to tell them! Fucking joke and I've had a gut full, I'm gonna have a drink.

[Josef Svejk]

Fired by Reading. Fired by fucking Reading.

"He was appointed manager of Real Valladolid for the 1995–96 season but was sacked after only two wins in 23 games with the club bottom of the Primera División."

 

I don't think a sacking necessarily condemns a manager for evermore.

I presume you're talking about a guy who's since been fired by two more clubs?

 

Look, I agree to an extent. But Benitez had proved himself at a very high level in the meantime.

Didn't he get sacked again then go on that tour of Europe learning tactics got some second division team promoted then get the valencia job?

[old skool tom]

why the obsession with 'big name' managers?

 

rather take a gamble on a manager or 2 with loads of hunger to make a name for themselves at LFC than also be associated with success at other clubs.it will mean more to them (and more importantly us!)

 

rather have rogers than fergies bum chum martinez because BR plays great football all season rather than the last eight games

 

Rogers would love to come hear but he's not gonna sacrifice his current position to take part in the ridiculous 'FSG Scouse Lottery'

I'm open to the idea of a lesser known manager , as long as it's not one with a record as shit as Martinez's.

 

Rodgers I'd reluctantly accept, Paul Lambert I think might be the most promising of the British contingent, of which I consider Martinez a member.

I think Rodgers has real potential. He would still be a huge gamble of course, but I could get behind his appointment more than Martinez.
