He ditched his wife ages ago....
His new bird
She's got three legs!
Safe to say the rumours about him liking his women with a bit of something extra between their legs is true then.

I find it hard to see Liverpool ever winning the league under Brendon if it isn't this season.
Did you see David Brent close to winning it this season.?
A very good and promising manager but he was tactically naive today. A 0-0 draw would have almost give the title to them.
Now, hopeing for a complete failure from them on the next 2 matches.

any video of this presser meltdown?
Going on how about they Liverpool were the better team
Delusional. And how easy it is to coach defensive football....How on earth was he tactically naive today? All Chelsea did was defend and it was a Gerrard mistake which gifted them a goal. Apart from that it didn't look like Chelsea were gonna score at all
Because it's pretty ridiculous to go hell for leather attack against a team with as much quality as Chelsea who are just sitting back waiting to hit you on the counter. Chelsea had a number of scoring opportunities today, you might have noticed that free header that young Kalas put wide?
If Rodgers is going to compete at the top level year after year he's going to have to start adapting to his opposition. He's been turned over twice by us this year and he's still sitting whining about how we don't play football properly. He's turning into Wenger..
And this guy actually worked under Jose
Liverpool are outstanding every game according to Rodgers. A truly faultless side.
He could easily end up being filed into the category of managers who had brief spells of success and then faded away.
Football is full of them.
Can we have a "but I took the initiative" meme for him now?
I really think he needs to stop pumping this 'shoestring budget' type rhetoric. Acting as if Liverpool aren't the third biggest spenders in the PL of all time. If you take the two plastic clubs out of it then they've spent the most. The funny thing being that despite this, even without City and Chelsea's rise to prominence they still wouldn't have won a title in the last 24 years.
You can't spunk silly money on Downing and Carroll's and then act like you've been shrewd in the transfer market because you pick up a decent buy here and there. For all the money they've spent, they still don't have a squad which could be competitive in anything more than just the league.

Any Scousers want to re-visit this little debate now? There was a lot of guff spouted the last time it reared its head...
Iago Aspas?
Sure. Toure, Mignolet, Sakho and Allen all are worth what we got them for. Yesil, Alberto and Borini it's too soon to tell.
No reliable source has reported it, have they? Bit of a difference with what Giggs did too.
This has to be one of the most ill-informed statements in this thread. He lacks a plan B does he? He's used 4 or 5 different systems this season alone. He's one of the most tactically flexible managers in the league. He didn't use a plan B today, but he certainly has several back up plans.
We'll finish ahead of you and Arsenal next season. Again.
If it has been as obvious as you say, why was today the first time it had been stopped in 25 league games?
You had three chances and scored two. The last goal wouldn't have occurred had Gerrard not made the slip. The slip was very unlucky.
He has adapted to his opposition several times this season.
Name me a manager who took a team from 7th to 1st/2nd and then slipped away.
We'll see about that, with the sort of strengthening we are planning to do, lack of mid week games like you've had all season and oh, the fact we will actually have a manager in charge, not a clown I'm confident we'll finish back above you. Oh and your statement makes it sound like it's a common thing, when was the last time you finished above us?
Kenny Daglish with Blackburn Rovers?
Didn't Benitez finish 7th after the season he came 2nd?
The slip meant that we had no reason to press forward after that. Who knows what would have happened without it.
So why is he sitting whining about how he'd never play a style of football like ours? If next year you get a good run in the Champions League and end up say with a narrow lead going into the second leg against someone like Bayern in the semis, would you really prefer to attack and get knocked out, or play an astute tactical defensive game and go through? Because quite frankly this idea that you can just always attack and end up winners is laughable, especially considering the frailties in your squad.
Schürlle had a great chance that forced a diving save from Mignolet, they should've had a pen on the Flanagan handball, and Kalas missed a free header from about 8 yards out. They could've scored more.
A side with some balls who won't roll over and take it finally came up against your lot and that's what happens. And they were missing nearly all of their best players.
I'm not bothered by defensive football. I am bothered by defensive football from teams with the incredible resources that Chelsea have.
Chelsea have done everyone this season in the big games, it's Jose, he's the difference. They will have been training all week like footballing monks in order to execute their strategy. They got a stroke of luck and capitalised. Rodgers set Liverpool up to play how the supporters demand at home, and today they just fell short against a hugely disciplined side.
He will improve Liverpool next season and beyond, no doubt. It's remarkable he's actually got them into this position in the first place.

What do you expect Chelsea to do at Anfield against Liverpool after winning 11 games in a row? Go all out attack? He played it perfectly and won the game, all that matters.
Liverpool should've played for stalemate, instead they gambled, played too high and Gerrard had a brainfart.
It's not all that matters. Playing good football matters. If he didn't have the players required to play good football and compete, then he should have bought better or not sold Mata. I'm not talking specifically about this game. The Atletico match was shameful too.
Oh okay, I'm only talking about this match (I thought you were too). In this game, all that mattered was winning the match.
Newcastle under Kevin?
Fine, but that's not really my point. Mourinho has made a career out of anti-football and that bothers me.
For Chelsea simply winning is the be all and end all.
So he has 4 or 5 different systems but didn't want to use them against Chelsea. All you needed was a draw today, he really should have used one of his other systems.
He played good stuff under Madrid. Ferguson wasn't a stranger to anti-football either.
United fans giving it large about Rogers and his failings at L'pool.
Deary me.
Deary me.
I don't think the Madrid fans took to his football either, did they?
I've been meaning to put you on ignore. Thanks for the reminder.
My point is Rodgers could well be just on a short run of success. Look at Frank Rijkaard. Won La Liga twice and a CL. Where is he now? What top club would bother with him?
Look at Magath. Won the German three times. Once with Wolfsburg. Now he is at Fulham.
He was the director of football wasn't he?
Yep, but his period of success hasn't been brief. He's been a very good manager for over a decade winning trophies at most clubs.
He's a manager, they all talk shite. He ground out 1-0s at the start of the season. Of course you can't attack everyone gung-ho, but there's a balance between doing what Jose does and throwing everyone forward.
He hasn't. He beat you lot 6-0 only a month ago. He does it when he needs to. He's adaptable, he just gets more ire when he does it than praise when he doesn't.
Also Arsenal fans really, really hate him.
