Wow, didn't expect it today but he did look very despondent in the interview.

I thought he was out after todays game did not think it would happen so quick maybe tomorrow or Monday. I say they probably have a manager sorted which will be known by Tuesday I say.

Our board showed great character today, the sacking was outstanding.

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo

Our year.

Tipsy McSwagger

Potential Underachiever

The time was right, I wish him all the best, seems a very nice guy and steered us to the best league season of my memory, Im very grateful for that, shame all the abuse he has got over the years, hopefully Klopp,Ancellotti or DeBoer come in, anything else will be underwhelming.

Wish the guy all the best. had one great year it was fun.

Guy:Incognito

And the thread goes BOOM! :-)

Cheerio Brendan, thanks for the fish.

Morzadec

Klopp would be my first choice anyway.

Has the personality and oassiin to kick start our season. I believe there's a decent squad there. Chelsea faltering.

Top 4 there for the taking.

murpho999

Amazing to thing that's only 15 months , May 2014 since he almost won the league. Things move fast in football.

Dick Advocaat quits the same day the Liverpool job comes available Hmmmm

I backed Rodgers to be the next manager to go on the strength of those tweets from that Kelly fellow. Advocaat you bastard

Luckycharms_74

Sad that rodgers is gone.
I have supported him from the get go.
The owners should have made the change in the summer not give him money to buy players.
What now Klopp et al come in and say I don't want this player or that player
I'm sure lots of ppl here happy that he is gone

MD1990

Only 3 points off 4th. Hopefully we get a coach who can get us to challenge for 4th.

billymitchell

Glad for the club he is gone. But i wish him all the best, he seems like a nice fella, and a half decent manager, he just wasnt cut out for the Liverpool job.

Really hope we get Ancelotti now

Things have moved a lot faster than this. Di Mateo won a Champions League and was sacked a few weeks later. Ancellotti won a league and was also sacked.

Some might complain that FSG caved in too quickly, but they gave Brendan more than enough time and chances to prove himself.

kevohmsford

I don't know how Brendan Rodgers kept his job at the end of last season. Did not dislike the guy but he had to go. Must have a new manager lined up.

Check out Henry

Who is Graeme Kelly

Agent Coulson

Ancelotti I would guess.

Gbear

He can't have any complaints really.

Since the summer he was on borrowed time. You can argue about the call but FSG decided to give him the chance to prove himself.

We had to be good. We had to settle. We had to get results.
While things haven't gone disastrously and unfixably wrong yet, It hasn't come together in a way that would make you really trust that Rodgers could make us tick again.

Having made the decision to keep him, now was probably a reasonable pit stop for the season in which to change things.

Good luck to him. I've never felt a buzz for so long and really believed in this club like we did in 2013/14 and you'd want to be a genuine moron to not give Rodgers any credit for that season.
It's been a dreary 6 or 7 years but 2013/14 will be a shining exception I'll remember my whole life.

We've put a fairly good squad together now as well - I don't think it needs major surgery, although of course they'll want to tinker here and there, play favourites and move players in and out to suit their system.

Rodgers seems like a good coach with some good ideas and if the right players can come together he has the capacity to make something special happen, but I think we probably need someone who's more of a grafter, more savy and more cynical (in a good way).
We can't afford to be a team that "gives it a go" any more. We're not here to get an award for participation so we need someone to grind things out a bit.

We're a cup team now, and despite not being hugely optimistic about another manager genuinely turning us into a proper CL-level outfit with the level of competition we face, other than Brendan's pay off I don't think we lose much by trying someone else.

mudstack

I hope it's ancelotti. Crazy by the owners to allow him to spend money and sack him 8 games in.

Had a feeling it was coming judging by his comments last couple of weeks.

Wish him all the best in the future, he brought us my favourite premier league campaign yet.

Imagine if this happened yesterday when Boards was absolutely fecked. It would have burned to the ground.

Any reason to touch the great Carragher:pac:

Turtyturd

FSG have money on Advocaat going first?

googled eyes

Word for L39 is that its Ancelotti.

FSG were warned off Klopp by Rodgers

BMJD

I'm strangely a little bit sad that he didn't or couldn't turn it around, it is for the best of the club I guess. I just hope that FSG have a very credible replacement ready to take over immediately and not some yes man who is happy with the status of being Liverpool manager whilst not getting backing in the transfer market.

We have a very good squad to work with, and Rodgers rightly deserves credit for building that and taking us forward.

Alonso77

Position had become untenable, tis a shame after 13/14 but it had to be done. I wish him all the best.

Despite our poorly managed performances we still have a good squad and are in a decent position in the lg. The right appointment to kick us on is crucial.

he was going for the balls, he has form doing the hand to ball stuff yo

could easily see Rodgers as Newcastle coach soon enough.

Lord Trollington

People rejoicing at Rodgers sacking keep in mind that Lallana will still be sh!t along with Lovren , Allen and others.

The transfer committee should go with him

Beercroft was the guy I quoted in here before saying Rodgers was 100% being replaced.

Dub13

Best of a Luck Brendan, the 13/14 season was some of the best times I had supporting the tricky reds

Vicxas

Is he definitely gone!?

All ive seen is that 1 twitter post

Grayditch

I really hope we have someone ready to come in asap. Shame how it worked out, but nobody gets to lose control of a club for this long and continue in free fall, making bad decisions and not adressing their own errors.

If some of this is FSG's fault with regards to committee transfers etc, then I'm sure he'll come out and say it and I'll decide if I cut him more of break, in retrospective for eh... all it's worth.

If I'm honest I'm also glad this proves some of the arrogant posters who think they know it all so very, very wrong.

billymitchell

You reckon Rodgers knew he was gone when you watch the post match interview?

Hangballlouie

Never nice to see a person lose their job and feel sorry for him in some respects. But I'm delighted this has happened today as there is plenty of time left in this season for a top quality manager to get something from this team.

FSG better not **** this up.

I agree with you always hope a manager can turn it around. Amazed they gave him so much money to try and turn it around. With a new manager he will have to be strong with the transfer committee and say no.

All the news outlets are running it. It's official.

BorneTobyWilde

Boards is still fecked for me at least. Every page is a repeat of the last/
I think this is a harsh sacking. Season is not even going yet and everyone else is losing too!
He has lacked the tools all last season in fairness.

Grayditch

Henry instinctively goes for a handball...

martyos121

To the people who seem pretty confident Carlo is the next manager, he is 3/1 with Paddy Power, whereas Klopp is 1/4. Get on those odds quick if your sources are good, before they shift.

Caovyn Lineah

Just as expected, the posters involved in most of the vitriol posted about Rodgers are the ones here wishing him the best. Pathetic.

Why will you believe whatever he comes out and says?

I suspect Rodgers will try and put the blame for his failures everywhere except at his own door. That has been his style throughout his time at the club, no reason to change now

googled eyes

I've been pretty down about Rodgers for a while now and been getting more annoyed by how things were going under him.

Such a shame. 2 years ago I thought he was the one

Kerrigooney

I'm glad he's gone because I believe he was bringing us nowhere but wish him well.

Agent Coulson

Thank **** he's gone time to move on.

Speaking of bets, did anyone take any of the ones floating around here about him not getting sacked before Christmas?
