RedM Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Radio 5 saying Brendan Rogers expected to be announced as the new Liverpool manager very soon. He was always their first choice apparently. What's that got to do with us you all shout, well not much except aren't swansea rumoured to be the ones looking at Albert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I am rather surprised by this, he's going to fail at Liverpool imo. They haven't got the players suited to playing the Swansea way and also he wasn't the one who got them playing that style, it was Roberto Martinez and Paulo Sousa. I think Martinez is a better manager but what now for him? Villa? Maybe even a return to Swansea?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 That will keep the locals happy then. Oh dear, I have no doubt he is a good manager, but not outstanding. i hear the scousers crying and woe is me mutterings already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 He's nowhere near ready for Liverpool, few are to be fair. Whether it be Martinez or Rodgers, they're both doomed up there. Liverpool and their OTT fans are a poisoned chalice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's a disgrace for Liverpool to be apointing a new manager, so soon after the departure of King Kenny! Don't the board up there realise that the Scousers are still in mourning..?! Show some respect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a very good manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screech Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 swansea have just spent near 7 million on a player as well. Surely he wont leave them after they have backed him with a record transfer fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelliottBcfc21 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I really hope he doesn't move there and the same with Martinez, It strikes me as another Woy Hodgson appointment. If I were Liverpool, i would go for a more experienced manager with tons of European experience. Van Gaal would be the outstanding candidate in my eyes.

Oh yeah, I actually can't stand Liverpool. But Rodgers is a good manager and seems like a decent bloke, wouldn't be nice to see him get the crap that Hodgson did.

They are queueing up to manage an upper mid-table team mind. Hodgson may have come good but Liverpool fans are too impatient, maybe because they have fantastic long term memory.

But Rodgers is a good manager and seems like a decent bloke, wouldn't be nice to see him get the crap that Hodgson did. Well to be honest I am not sure about him, he seems to jump about a bit. He was at Watford for a short spell, before leaving them in the lurch to head to Reading, where he failed, but was lucky Swansea took him on, he has now been at Swansea for less than 2 years, taking on two other managers successful team, and now he looks to be jumping ship again. I know and have said it in defence of players before, you take your chance when it comes, or you could regret it. But leaving teams in the lurch after spending a lot of money is not good. He is slowly dropping in my eyes, he is starting to look a bit Bruce like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford to reading was a no brainer he want from a club with no money to a club with money who ahd just been relegated from the prem he got sacked from reading (or left by mutual consent) and did indeed fail there but has done a fantastic job at Swansea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a good job keeping them up, I am not really questioning his coaching/managerial ability, more his up and off at the next job opportunity mentality. I for one, would not be happy if a manager of mine blew 7 million then buggered off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Now on the bbc site http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18235961 likely to be announced in the next 48 hours. On the radio it sounded like it was imminent. Swansea likely to get 4 or 5 million for him. I guess swanseas were letting him splash the cash to try and keep him there. I also read Caulker is almost certain to go on loan there for another season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I understand that, but I think Liverpool would be a more attractive offer as oppsed to Fulham. Yeah, I think Hodgson would of come good too, but with Daglish in the background he was destined for failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
