King 277 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Rodgers is under BIGTIME pressure now it seems, yesterday's 6-1 defeat made the big boys sit up and take notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fury 65 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Brendan Rodgers has publicly said if the owners want him to go then he will leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King 277 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah he said that last night and I think he knows he has done all he can, if he lasts past the end of the week then he has a chance of keeping his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fury 65 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Early reports suggest he will be staying put Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Hancock Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's probably time for him to go, but only if they've got someone better lined up. The big boys will be fighting over Klopp, no point looking back with Rafa, Big Sam would just be silly, so I think they're going to be boxed in a little bit by the lack of real options. Only realistic guy who might be worth a look is Frank de Boer, who's got the pedigree, and is probably sick of the Eredivisie after Ajax flopped last season, and FFP gutted the whole league anyway.

Omega 354 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Hope he goes, never taken to him. Always seemed like he thought he was much better than he was after one flukey season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laffy Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 He will stay people like him, I like him he also was great with Swansea did not want him to go but love the fact he has spent either 120 million or 220 million cant remember which on players that do not seem to have improved the squad. As much as I would love to see Liverpool win the title just for history purposes it is funny when they fail. (Sorry King) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I don't think Liverpool will get into the top 4 with him in charge but there's very few, if any, managers available who could get Liverpool into that spot, especially if they insist on keeping this ridiculous transfer committee that has seen them piss money down the drain. If someone like Klopp was to become their manager, would he be the one solely in charge of transfers, like Wenger or Mourinho, or would he also be handcuffed? If he doesn't have that freedom, he won't make a huge difference, but then you could argue that Rodgers deserves to have more control too because, regardless of his tactics this season, he is hindered by the lack of ability throughout the side. The only way Liverpool will get into the top 4 is by making better signings than they have done in the last few years because the squad just isn't good enough, and I expect that gap to be widened over the summer. Rodgers is an alright manager and he'll be able to take Liverpool as far as they can next year by getting into the Europa League again but if they want to get beyond that point, there needs to be wholesale changes and until they happen, removing Rodgers isn't going to solve things. He may be an issue but there are bigger ones which need to be addressed first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Gringo 279 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 You can point at the lack of talent but the fact is sometimes his formations and ideas made no sense. Plus I actually think he has lost the dressing room a little bit or is too much of a soft touch with the players. Rumour is they all had their bags packed ready to go on the team trip to Dubai before the Stoke game which they then literally phoned in. They lost 6-1, the biggest league defeat for Liverpool since the 30's, they lost out on European football as a result and they still got their break. Any manager worth his salt, even if it was the last game of the season, with European football on the line would have treated that like his cup final and not as an extended hallmark moment to Gerrard before sodding off on their jollies. Thing is as others have pointed out, Liverpool won't be able to get any one better really and even if they do, without getting another 25+ goal a year striker (and we all know those grow on trees) at least they won't do any better for him or any new manager either.

King 277 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 He lost the dressing room in the Madrid game basically waving the white flag....you just don't do that at LFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magic Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Liverpool will still play in the Europa League next season Gringo. 5th and 6th auto qualify on account of Chelsea winning the league cup, so the tie against Stoke was basically a dead rubber anyway. Not that it excuses the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King 277 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yes!! They held "positive" talks so it looks like he's safe for another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
