Brentan Rodgers

[JUPITER]

You're right, how silly of me. I should know it'll be Moyes.

All I've said is that if Rodgers was sacked tomorrow the board would consider Moyes, and they would. Where have I said he'd get the job?

Jupiter's posts are more in hope than rooted in facts and accurate predictions.

Not really, mate, I'd rather they keep Rodgers there TBH as Moyes is a better manager. I predicted that we'd get something out of the Chelsea game and we did, and I predicted that we wouldn't be outplayed in either that or the City game and we weren't.

Like it or not, they have history and a lot of managers would still fancy the challenge of turning them around. That's why I find some of the posts in here ridiculous. Moyes? Big Sam? Harry? Do you guys seriously believe what you're typing?

Yeah, I do. Brendan Rodgers came from Swansea - Swansea finished 11th before he took the Liverpool job, 11TH.

He's never won a trophy in his career and has way less of a pedigree than Moyes has.

You sound like you've been sucked into the Rodgers hype to be honest mate. Moyes, Big Sam, Harry - these are the caliber of manager that Liverpool would be in line for. That's the reality.

think gb is right...

De Boer?

 

[Rooney in Paris]

With Dalglish they were swayed by the fans wishes too much, sentimentality ruled.

I genuinely believe they will get a foreign manager next time.

That's fair enough and you may be right, but I just meant they hadn't had a line of top notch managers in charge of their team in the past few years so some 'big' PL names don't seem that absurd to me.

 

[Rednotdead]

Is this based on anything or just pulled out of your arse?

it's based on goading some twat into make a silly comment.

What have I said in my post above that bothers you so much? It's all true, mate.

 

[Sassy Colin]

If Rodgers was sacked tomorrow, who do you reckon would be club's top 5 available candidates?

Benitez
Rafa
Rafa Benitez
FSW
Dalglish

 

[JustAFan]

Dalglish

No SAF?

I don't think Rodgers will be sacked or anything and this is more for discussion purposes, but you list those 3 as if they're ridiculous, when Liverpool's last few managers have been Rodgers (who hadn't done much prior to his appointment), Dalglish and Roy. Not exactly huge pedigree between the three of them, from my point of view. Moyes I think is a ridiculous call because of Utd and Everton, but I don't think Redknapp or Big Sam (the latter a bit more so, maybe) are completely crazy calls.

Rodgers and Dalglish are completely different from the other managers listed though. If Redknapp or Big Sam ever manage Liverpool with FSG as owners I'll chop my genitals off and send them in the post to any address of your choice.

With Dalglish they were swayed by the fans wishes too much, sentimentality ruled.

It was very close to being Martinez last time. And with Dalglish, he had an excellent six months leading up to the full time position.

All I've said is that if Rodgers was sacked tomorrow the board would consider Moyes, and they would. Where have I said he'd get the job?

He wouldn't even be considered.

think gb is right...

De Boer?

That would be my guess. With FSG as our owners it'll be someone who has proven in the past that they can handle and bring through youth. Don't want or think Rodgers will go anytime soon though.

 

[Shamwow]

Moyes has as much chance of being considered for the Liverpool job if Rodgers gets sacked as he does of being considered for the United job if Van Gaal were to get sacked.

You do know that finishing 11th with Swansea was a decent achievement, right? Or should we just ignore how far he took the club in the years before? If you can't see the difference in the trajectories of Rodgers (when Liverpool hired him) and Moyes careers, I don't know what to tell you. A little hint though; finishing 11th with Swansea good, finishing 7th with United bad.

Of course Moyes won't even be considered by Liverpool if they do end up looking for a new manager. Even if the board (or whoever hires their managers) think Moyes might do a good job, they're fully aware of what their fanbase thinks. Hiring a manager who was ridiculed for failing at their arch rivals? You can't compare this to Benitez at Chelsea, and even doing so shows how little idea you have about what this means.

Nah, I disagree with you completely. Finishing 11th with Swansea isn't some kind of massive achievement that puts Rodgers above Moyes.

In fact, Rodgers hasn't ever achieved as a manager what Moyes did with Everton over 10 years. Rodgers is now facing the challenges of building his own defence and he's failing badly at something that Moyes did successfully with far less resources at Everton.

He's no better a manager than Moyes, and over the coming season (or two if he's still there) this will become apparent to you.

Liverpool's last season was a genuine anomaly due to them having the world's most in form player for the season. They're not really a top 4 club and the coming seasons will prove me right on this.

A lot of posters are being quite shortsighted as to what Liverpool's reality actually is - their last 3 managers are Roy, Kenny and Rodgers. If Rodgers was to be removed now, managers like Big Sam and 'Arry would be the caliber that Liverpool would be capable of getting (or their foreign equivalent).

People saying De Boer would be in for the Liverpool job are completely deluded, he wouldn't go there - it's a step down for him and would take him out of the running for a proper big job.

 

[golden_blunder]

DeBoer touted himself for the spurs job ffs so you're wrong again

The Ajax manager was a frontrunner for the White Hart Lane job after Tim Sherwood's dismissal at the end of last season but missed out to the Southampton man.

And, after securing Ajax their fourth straight Eredivisie championship, De Boer admits he would have happily left Amsterdam for the North London club.

"If they wanted me, I would probably have said 'yes'," De Boer told Amstel Television 5.

"I was really close to a move to Tottenham, but they chose Pochettino.

Google it, it was in every tabloid

 

[Acole9]

He needs to be sacked so king Kenny can return to finish what he started.

 

[Dumbstar]

So Rodgers or Pellegrini? Who's looking a right asshole now? And there's no Gerrard slip to see him into the next round.

Both.

Maybe Sami Hyypia would be in with a shout?

Sadly I doubt it. Wasn't great at Leverkusen and his Brighton side look woeful.

Liverpool could do much, much worse than look at Tuchel or Garcia as outsiders. However I doubt Rodgers will leave anytime soon.

There's a belief that the world cup was won in spite of him, not because of him.

Never mind the WC, he's still a good manager, with good ideas, has managed at the absolute highest level in football and was one of the people, behind the scenes, working on German football in the early part of the last decade.

And Barney is saying he's no good for Liverpool?

He has managed only Germany (on the high level) which doesn't give you any guarantee that he's any good. They had the best team in the tournament anyway. To a lot of people it looks similar to Brazil 2002 when Scolari won the title, but no-one (bar Abramovich some years later) thought that he is a great manager.

If Scousers sack Rodgers, I guess that they'll try (on order) to get one of: De Boer, Martinez, Pochetino, Koeman and Laudrup.

 

[Revan]

I doubt that Garcia would leave Rome for them. He seems settled there and can't see him leaving unless a much bigger club (both financially and with chance to get trophies) comes for him. If he wins the title, my bet would be that he'll go to Madrid when they are bored winning Champions League trophies with Ancelotti.

 

[Kostur]

They should hire Hodgeson just so he can injure Sturridge again.

 

[gooDevil]

There's a belief that the world cup was won in spite of him, not because of him.

Seems harsh. He wasn't good enough because he hasn't won a trophy, now he wins the biggest one and its in spite of his efforts?

That seems a bit rich.

 

[Swaters16]

Koeman and Pocchetino just moved to their clubs so no chance there. Martinez is Everton's manager, so he's obviously ruled out. Laudrup maybe but he has a habit of leaving clubs rather quickly.

De Boer probably wants the Barca job, considering we all know *current Barca coach* will get sacked soon enough.

Tony Pulis anyone?

 

[cesc's_mullet]

I like Garcia, I think he would be a good replacement for Arsene.

 

[Pexbo]

I wouldn't bet against him not being at Anfield next September.

The board won't be happy if he doesn't perform with the £120m he spent and not just in terms of league positions. If he has spent all that money on players he identified and he can't make it gel, how can they invest further in him as a manager?

On top of that, the fans won't oppose it, they're already started turning on him and calling him a charlatan that rode on Suarez's coat tails.

 

[Xaviesta]

think gb is right...

De Boer?

I feel he'd be a candidate to replace louis van Gaal at United in a few years.

he didn't have the foresight to rest 7 players for the final to save them for the euro qualifiers in a couple of months time. they ain't got time for cheifs.

[Thisistheone]

No chance of Rafa coming back if/when Rodgers gets the boot then?

Liverpool fans still love him, right?

 

[Someone]

A question to liverpool fans, who do you rate higher, rafa or rodgers? and would you want rafa back when rodgers gets sacked eventually?
