Jamie has a son? How old is he?

He's 7 years old. He's called Beau Redknapp which is ideal actually as he'll fit into all the club tracksuits Rodgers will have to give back.

His name is Beau.... :eek::eek:
 
Future headline: 'Klopp's Kop Flops Drop from Top'.
 
Here's something funny:

I just searched "Brendan Rodgers Rumours" in Google and it's Been filtered/censored by European data protection laws.

Basically a person has a right to have certain search results removed if they don't like them. Quite a few celebs will do it if they don't like particular stories about themselves. Something like "person X facelift" or "person y gay". I think Ashley Cole did it when he had gay stories popping up about him.


Anyway... Looks like Rodgers has been searching for himself and then putting his lawyers onto google about the pages/articles/stories he doesn't like :lol:
 
Damn, there goes my plans for 'Is Brendan Rodgers really Harold Steptoe?' searches.

From what I know, in a lot of cases now large organisations get waivers or authorities from their employees that they will have any materials which don't comply with their codes of conduct/the moral standpoint of the organisation, removed from view. It might not necessarily have been him. Plus you'd imagine Rodgers would have been one of those cnuts who ends up signing up under a false name and arguing with the person for days on end.

Ah right. Still funny all the same that he's got stuff to hide. If it was untrue you'd think it would be challenged directly.

Well I think the vast majority isn't removed because it's true, but because it's demonstrably untrue. Maybe someone better informed can elaborate, though.

I'd assume most of the stuff removed about him would be personal stuff, like the breakdown of his marriage, his son's legal troubles or the odd rumour that he'd been plugging a transsexual.
 
so, as far as i can see;

early season, poor form - Rodgers out
mid season, poor form - Rodgers out
late season, form picks up - Rodgers a genius
defeat in FA cup semi + news that Klopp available - Rodgers out again
 
Quoted from RAWK:

Tony Barrett@TonyBarretTimes

Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool "are on par for where they're at" having reached two semi finals & reached 5th in the league.

paul joyce@pjoyceexpress

BR: "I dont think there is anyone better" to manage Liverpool. "Three months ago I was a tactical genius."
 
Quoted from RAWK:

I find it hard to believe that he is being so self congratulatory in public, bang out of character!


Seriously though, he has a fecking awful start, wins a few games in the middle and then blows all the important games and he talks him self up as a tactical genuis for having a few wins mid season.

Is Pardew a tactical genius too? He had a shit start, pulled it all together, then took over Palace who had a shit start and pulled it all together.
 
I'd imagine the tactical genius bit was him saying "three months ago people were calling me a tactical genius, now they want me out", pointing to the knee jerk nature of football.

Same here. That's how the quote above reads. I can't construe that as Brendon praising Brendon at all.

maybe so but a few months back when he came up with 3-4-3 he publicly bemoaned he wasn't getting the credit he deserved for it
 
Brendan Rodgers has come out fighting after suffering Wembley disappointment and insisted he is the right man to lead Liverpool next season.

'I don't think there is anyone better,' Rodgers said. 'That is the reality of how I see it. Three months ago I was a tactical genius. Now I have lost a game and it is not so good.

'I have got a strong relationship with the owners and they understand that this was going to be the process. I haven't taken over a machine that was for 10 years used to winning trophies.'

Starting to sound like Hodgson.

While Rodgers may not be the best manager out there, and while that comment may be a tad reminiscent of the owl, I'd rather motorboat a fat hairy lumberjack's moobs than return to watching us play under Hodgson again.
 
There's a sliver of truth in that. Regardless of how influential you think Suarez's role was last season, Rodgers did have Liverpool play entertaining and winning football last season. I'm pretty sure there were more than a few posters who said they wouldn't have minded Rodgers at United when Moyes was still manager. Not exactly 'tactical genius' but I think those that want him sacked are a tad kneejerk. Now if he's on the verge of losing the dressing room, if you listen to rumours, then he won't be there next season. I'd imagine the owners will throw everything they can at Klopp to get him.
 
Off topic, but you are one post away from your post nr. 3000!

No no, no need to thank me.

Thanks mate.

Ah look what you've made me do. I've just wasted my 3000th post. Well I wasted the other 2999 anyway so why should I change the habit of a lifetime?

Reminds me a bit of Wenger. Attractive football, tactically naive.
 
BR: "I dont think there is anyone better" to manage Liverpool. "Three months ago I was a tactical genius."

He didn't really say that, did he?
He's jumped the shark. Its like he's playing the role of Jamie 'Liverpool are great' Redknapp, backing the manager with nonsense from a studio, forgetting that he is, in fact, himself.
 
Rodgers has earned the benefit of the doubt and should be reassured of one more season by management. He has Liverpool within a finger's touch of the prem trophy before Stevie slipped. He couldn't keep Suarez and Sturridge has been crocked most of the season. His critics have a few points but the bottom line is still that he's got Liverpool into the conversation for a CL spot every season and that deserves some praise.

There is no hope whatsoever that Liverpool, a club well past its best days, winning the prem or CL trophies or any time soon and there's no hope of the club attracting a manager that's a a few notches above Rodgers such as Louis, Pep or Jose. LFC fans thirst for more but they're never going to drink the champagne they crave, not given the current financial structure of this league. The club will do well hang around the 4-6 spots from here on out and Bredan is a good manager to keep them in that hunt.
 
I actually think Liverpool would be worse off if they sacked him. He seems to understand the importance of attacking (and is good at setting his teams off to execute it) to pick up wins in the Premier League.
 
He is actually quite decent as a manager, not top class but barely good enough, about Liverpool's standard. His smugness also suits Liverpool perfectly. I mean just take a look at what he had said.

To LVG: “This is a league where the top team plays the bottom team and on any given day you can lose. You don’t get that a lot in the other leagues. I think the competition will probably take him by surprise."

To Mourinho: "It’s not difficult to coach to just get 10 players right on your 18-yard box."

To Tottenham: "Look at Tottenham. If you spend more than £100million, you expect to be challenging for the league."

To Southampton: "They don't have to sell. (Southampton) have a choice. Maybe Southampton's objectives have changed. They were looking to be a Champions League club, I believe. It's the nature of it. The players will want to compete at the highest level they possibly can."

To everyone: "We play with eleven men, other teams play with 10 men and 1 goalkeeper."

Now: "I don't think there's anyone better. That's the reality of how I see it."

TBF we strugled at the begining against bottom teams (Leicester, Burnley...) and i think part of the reason for it was because LVG underestimated those teams.

To Southampton: "They don't have to sell. (Southampton) have a choice. Maybe Southampton's objectives have changed. They were looking to be a Champions League club, I believe. It's the nature of it. The players will want to compete at the highest level they possibly can."
Well this one was funny until Liverpool caught Southampton. I laughed at this comments time and time again when Southampton was second and Liverpool in the bottom half.
But again TBF Liverpool is a bigger team than Southampton and if you don't look at the result at the start of the season there is not much wrong with this comment.

But comments on Mourinho and goalkepper are just laughable. He should be the one who rate defensing side of the coaching the most because he is trully terible at it and they usually playing with 10 men and without goalkepper.
 
Brendan, the gift that keeps on gabbing.
 
I don't think scousers will be happy with his description of the club as not being a machine that is used to winning.

It's true, like, but since when did they lap up the truth?

Delusion, Brendan! That's what sells in Liverpool!
