Is it really that bad a choice? Swansea played some great football last season. As a West Brom fan I'm now really worried who we might end up with!

A bigger name like Brendan Rogerson perhaps?

Apparently Barry Fry was also approached but turned it down in favour of his allotment.

Some wag on the Beeb said Rodgers wouldn't get Liverpool to play like Swansea because they don't have the same quality of players!
Think I would have seen how/if Swansea struggled in their second season before saying he was worthy of a top* job.
*and Liverpool

Dont get it. why leave swansea for a smaller club? And he'll have to live in the north west!

He could do well but will need to be given time - something that'll be in short supply. He's done well at the swans and they've played some good stuff this year and let's face it Kenny was looking more the mad tramp shouting at the pigeons with every interview. He'll probably do well but I guess that depends on what your view is of doing well.
Overall I'm lukewarm on this one...... But then I am an Evertonian Posted 12 months ago # -

I don't understand all this big name stuff, Liverpool are average at best, and have no right to demand the likes of gaurdiola or mourinho
As a WIgan fan I didn't want them to get Martinez, but all this not enough experience is bollocks.
How are the likes of Brendan Rodgers, Martinez or even Paul Lambert even going to win big trophy with the clubs they are at now, they need to move on sometime.
All are good young managers and will move on at some point, and hopefully be successful
Will all the scousers (and plastic ones) please get a grip on reality

Everything about Liverpool is unbalanced, their history compared to the present day, their ground to their ambitions, the transfer spending compared to their income.
There is a desparate need of a reality check, Liverpool have been "trending" downwards for over a decade and I think most honest impartial observers will recognise they were very lucky to beat Cardiff on pens at Wembley.
Will Rogers stop the downward spiral, who honestly knows ? He will give a go but will he be given the time and money required because make no mistake Liverpool are nowhere close to being a top four prem club right now.
Liverpool are quite simply a top ten prem club trading on past glory and thats proven by the appointment of Rodgers.

loddrik, first things first, calm yourself & stop being a bad wool
Who knows if he will be the right man, his brand of football is right, his character seems right, he now needs to take it to the next level, handle far greater expectations & pressure & deliver results more often.
I actually think his brand of football will suit our better players & more technically gifted individuals. Wouldn't be surprised if peoples hates like Henderson shine under his style of football tbh.
Anyway, I will back him from now onwards, thats how its done!

When Man Utd signed Aberdeen's manager, when Everton signed Preston's manager etc etc, people thought it was a bad move, how short sighted were they?

He shouldn't need time to get the current squad plus a couple of additions to perform better in the premier league next season. we lost 14 games last season ffs...

If anything Rogers might be doing his career a harm by taking on what's a club on it's way down!
Liverpool should be lucky to have a manager that's able to knock some quality football into the players and sort his dressing room out to have some discipline. I don't remember any racist/overpaid striker going on the piss scandal at Swansea all season.

That's because there's only 2 journalists in Swansea to capture these events. If there's a Sheep Fair or a school fete on that week, things like a footballer going nuts can easily be overlooked.

Makes me laugh, people are always keen to say Liverpool are yesterday's news, but the fact remains that they are one of only two truly global clubs the uk has, both of those two clubs have had far more success than any other English team, could fill larger stadiums than any other teams, when you have that, you have massive potential. Utd are realising their potential, ours is massively under utilised. With a stadium and the right manager, that potential could be realised. Rafa nearly got there but the clowns pulled the rug from under him in terms of finances and lack of stadium. We don't need a sugar daddy like Chelsea and City as, in the right hands, we can create revenue they couldn't dream of, but again it comes down to a stadium that can accommodate the existing crowds and the season ticket waiting list which is currently around 30000, this would then furnish the right manager with funds to compete at the highest level. I can't see the stadium happening anytime soon and even if it did, I can't see Rodgers would be the person to spend the increased revenues. Utd earn nearly £2m more in revenue each home game from gate receipts alone whilst the clubs have similar fanbases. There is no way we can compete with a capacity of 44000. If the owners sorted the stadium out, Rodgers would be given as much time as he needs by the fans.

Liverpool remain one of the top ten richest clubs in the world - so it's hard to see why they've been weighing up the managers of Swansea, Wolves and Wigan for the next appointment. Just seems excessively risky and not something any other club of that stature would do.
I like(d) Rodgers, seems to have some class. His new club will soon correct that - he'll be talking like Rafa in 6 months.

I'd love to be laughing at Liverpool's plight. But a lot of their problems are routed in being treated like a cash cow by Stadler and Whaldorf. And I suspect that when the Glazers finally leave United, we'll be in a pretty similar boat. Saddled with their debts, and a legacy of underinvestment in the team, while lining their own pockets
The present management are just trying to repair the damage. The only question if whether they can live up to the fans frankly ludicrous expectations, or whether Rodgers (whose a decent manager) will be given the same reception as Woy. I think that'll probably be the case. Though they're not going to have an obvious candidate to champion from the terraces now King Kenny's not available

The job is a loaded dice, away from the camera Dagleish is a really good bloke but in front of the cameras he became a prickly village idiot, as I said earlier the whole Liverpool thing is an unbalanced mess and whilst you have Liverpool fans thinking they have some sort of divine right to Champions league footy and silverware it will continue to be a mess.
The fact is you have to earn the right every season through every game, you don't earn the right based on what you did 7 years ago -- Liverpool fans you need to wake up and get real !

To be fair to Hodgson I had more hope for him, it was only when Ferguson has a couple of pops and Roy rolled over in complete deference rather than going one the offensive like kenny or rafa would have done, that was inexcusable in my eyes. That and the signing of Konchesky, and the negative tactical ineptitude.

As mentioned above, expectations aren't so high because we have been so successful in the past, it's because we are one of the two biggest clubs in the country and have suffered nearly two decades of financial malmanagement. We don't think we should be winning everything each year, but we should certainly be competing...

Not all Liverpool fans are completely blinkered to our current situation. Mostly we're realists who have grasped the current scenario and where we actually are in the current pecking order.
Rodgers for me is an ideal candidate for the job, both in terms of potential and also of realism, we're not in a position to attract Jose or Pep, so we have to currently make do with who we can realistically attract.
Rodgers was trained by Jose, picking up i assume a lot of knowledge from the best manager on the planet currently. Along with Liverpools buying power (as we still are a 'big name', meaning we can attract players over and above our current league positions) meaning we should be potentially in a strong position.
As for the league title/top 4, well, personally i'm happy for us to push for 4th/5th next season, with an outside chance of a CL position, that for me is a realistic proposition for Rodgers... However, if we don't achieve that, then so be it.... i can live with that....
Why ? Simply because if we're playing better football, playing nicer passing and getting rid of some of the dross in the squad, then i can be patient and wait for gradual improvements.
As a Liverpool fan i simply want to see, fast, flowing, short passing exciting football... Simillar to Arsenal really.. i can live without the titles.. as long as my team are giving me what i need to see from my club.
the rest of it... well, that comes with time....

hodgson was done for after about 3 press conferences. Signed and sealed.. blaming fans for not helping and then stupid things like accepting defeat from lower teams as normal...meant for me Hodgson was on a no-win.

You mean Swansea actually has a sports team that are winners i.e Ospreys so overpaid underachieving footballers don't make it into the sports pages unlike Liverpool. Sheep jokes - tell tale signs you have shit chat.

It's all going downhill from here ... bye bye Liverpool ...
They should have given Daglish at least 3 to 5 years to turn it around ...
Posted 11 months ago # -
So £20m on Henderson, £7.5m for Adam, £35m for Carroll, Downing for £20m, Suarez for £25m, Enrique £5.5m.
£113m to finish 8th.
I note Lawrenson as a mate of previous manager has already started the media campaign against Rogers, so I doubt he will get the time he needs to turn what has been a tactically naive team around. I can't see Liverpool breaking the top 6 next year.
