Those comments would a lot more noble coming from a club which wasn't losing £50m a year and has spent like over £200m in the past 4 or 5 years.

Ah, you want nobility. Should have said, I'll phone the Queen now.
What's Torres got to do with this?
The bit that smacked of wanting sympathy and/or trying to show how brilliant he is. A moral victory.
That viewpoint is emotional, therefore subjective. He gave the facts, you can sprinkle with emotion as you see fit.
Facts.
They love the facts.

I like that. Will try it next time the missus kicks off about something.
"Luv, that viewpoint is emotional, therefore subjective. Lets deal with the facts, then you can sprinkle with emotion as you see fit"
Reckon that'll go down really well.
I've read that they would have failed the first phase of it or whatever it is but once they excluded any wages before 2010 then they would have just scraped by.
FSG put in £50m to repay a stadium loan. Those losses aren't going to be repeated.
Bloody hell, here's a blast from the past. Where have you been hiding the past few months ?
Safe to come out from behind the sofa now eh ?
He's hedged his bets that City won't chuck the league now and our bubble has burst. The bust cycle has arrived. Etc.
Failing that there's always the sofa again.
He's been sacrificing virgins in Wythenshaw.
I thought he was a virgin from Wythenshawe.
Pah, you can't find a virgin or even one wise man in Wythenshaw.
Oh look, Inspector Clouseau is now a star!
Next season will certainly be interesting for Rodgers and this Liverpool squad. His tactic this season of overload in the first half has taken most teams by surprise, and it has worked very well. I can imagine a lot of teams adapting their tactics next season though and parking the bus much more aggressively, knackering the team out for 70 odd minutes and then pushing out when they are tired. He's got to think of more than just the "pile it all on" tactic in the first half otherwise they are going to be found out a lot earlier. Either that or teams will ignore this tactic and continue to let them take early advantages and hold the game
I'm a bit over him mentioning City's financial power. We are all aware of it Brendan! You don't need to remind anyone.
His wife has filed for divorce, not sure if he even likes her though. Not the best way to start such an important summer, losing the premier league title due to some very questionable decisions and fighting off a woman probably trying to take everything.
I wonder if she'll get more now that he has signed a new contract? Will the proceedings take into account future income from that or only what has been earned until now?
The things he was getting up to between games:

'Rogers has spent thousands of pounds having his teeth whitened.' He's been done - they look false now.
His wife has filed for divorce - they were separated a long time ago and lived their own lives.
Rodgers questionable decisions has allowed him to finish 2nd while chasing 4th, his ex-wife will get what she's entitled to. Irrelevant to us what that is.
The things he got up to between games was to date another woman while totally separated from his wife. He was then at her home, luckily as there was a man wielding a cricket bat outside her house while he was there.
While we're talking about managers and their personal lives I heard there was a disgusting human being in charge of a premier league club only last week. Apparently slept with his BROTHER'S wife WHILE his brother was still married to her and behind his BROTHER'S back. Hmmm, so vicious this internet trash posting business isn't it?
Walked into that one
In fairness he's right. We can't say feck all about what Rodgers gets up to in his private life when Giggsy is our manager!
It matters not what they do outside of football. Although I must admit the ****** rumours were quite amusing.
Not to mention that with Europe on the agenda, the team won't be so fresh. Yes they'll add to the squad, but will they be effective buys.
Hopefully not!
Either way, as long as City don't suffer the biggest last day melt ever, we don't have to worry for another year!
Ryan Giggs is the most successful football player in premier league history therefore I think what he did in his private life did not interfere with his attempt at success. From what I understand, he didn't put himself in a position where a man tried to batter him with a cricket bat. Such stressful experiences are not desired when preparing for important games.
Brendan Rodgers is yet to win a trophy but put himself in a great position to win one before making questionable decisions in the Chelsea and Crystal Palace game. You know I was referring to this yet you post as if getting 2nd place is a success, whilst that is true at the start of the season, it cannot be so now considering the position his side were in, it must be deemed a failure. He had the title almost won however instead of putting himself in dangerous situations but instead focusing on only football, he might not be where he is.
When a man is trying to take him out with a cricket bat, that can't be good psychologically for him. How Ryan handled his relationship evidently did not hinder and quite possibly helped his performance.
The man with the cricket bat tried to take Rodgers out on 14th April, after this Liverpool narrowly scraped pass Norwich, lost to Chelsea and then drew to Palace. It might be a coincidence however as a football fan I would rather my manager remain focused entirely on winning the league as opposed to:
Clearly Mr. Rodgers has upset somebody with a screw loose during a most important period for his club. All I am saying is that I would rather my manager not do that. I would rather my manager focused only on football, not putting himself in situations where time must be devoted to protecting his life from a mad youth.
I must admit that I'm genuinely interested to see how Rodgers copes in the CL. Will be fascinating if they can take teams apart the way Dortmund did. I think they might surprise a few.
Ultimately, it will probably be their co-efficient ranking that's their own doing. They could feasibly progress beyond the group stages if they get a favourable draw, but that will be unlikely when they'll be in pot three or four.
Rodger's squad rotation is something that will have a decisive effect on their Champions League campaign I think. Up until now, his Liverpool career hasn't been very testing in the way of preparing his team for a game every three or four days and it'll be interesting to see how he copes with player fatigue and form. They will certainly strengthen their squad this summer and there have been some players he's handled extremely well in the way of man-management and loss of form, like Henderson and Sterling for example.
Personally, I think they will fight admirably in the Champions League, still produce some excellent attacking football and possibly compete beyond the group stages, but their added gametime in Europe will also derail a sustained title challenge in the league for two consecutive years.

Rodgers by name ............
It's simple, if he can increase his squad size with players drilled to play in his system and replicate the level this season then they could have another excellent season.
It could go either way, on one hand they could continue smashing teams domestically and do the same to those in Europe.
On the other, the constant games might make it difficult for him to sustain this level and also if teams start parking the bus in the hope of getting a point, then they might be in for quite a few tough games.
This could be a one-off season, a fluke or Rodgers could be the british Klopp / Simeone, a man capable of implementing a powerful, effective system with mostly only good players where the whole is far, far greater than the sum of the parts making for a world class team.
I can't wait for next season, it's going to be so competitive.
Louis van Gaal will try to do the same, I'm curious to see how he operates in the absence of a director of football, with Alex Ferguson like powers where he can completely implement his authoritarian regime. He could also not be successful, be successful or even be incredibly successful. If the players give themselves to him, if they believe fully in the philosophy and carry out his requests to the letter we will have something special here.
Dortmund were poor in the CL in season 2011-12. It took them a while to find their feet. Liverpool are likely to struggle in the CL because they have been out of it for 5 years and are seeded in Pot 3.
Indeed. Next season promises to be very interesting on a number of different subjects.
Good point. It was Dortmund's second season when they reached the final!
"And players like Steven Gerrard, at 33 years of age, this is his first example of this type of run-in. He will be better next year also."......... What the...
"One of the things that stood out for me in my last game at Swansea was that one or two of the Liverpool players were on holiday. They'd just lost the [FA] Cup final, probably a few of them had gone out during the week and then came into our game. We murdered Liverpool 1-0."
Brendan Rodgers everybody. Murdered. 1-0.
Brendan Rodgers everybody. Murdered. 1-0.
Just wow. He's actually mental. I think he's going to have a bit if a breakdown at some point an get destroyed by the media.
So far he's proven he can motivate a set of players for a little while and get them hitting form together with one style of football that has started to get figured out.
Add 6 more games before December and the difficulties of remotovating this team after a mentally draining run in this year and a physically draining World Cup and I think he's in for a sharp shock next season.

Brenton to become a cannibalistic racist by the time he leaves Liverpool then.
I agree with the rest of your post, but Arsenal seem to have a ridiculous number of injuries to key players every season. They are just as bad as us in that respect. I actually think they would have had a great chance of winning the league had Walcott, Ramsey, and Wilshere stayed fit for the whole season. Cover for Walcott should surely be a priority for them, they've looked toothless without him at times. Remy might be a decent option, while maybe not good enough to start every game for them.
