Yeah, you just wait until Big Sam gets unveiled next week and you'll hear all about the excitement among the fans, in this thread.

If that does happen, expect to see a mob like this descend on Anfield.

Sure thing.

Any plans for a change to 'The Klopp', might I ask?

Open to all suggestions, that would put the kiss of death on him though.
I was right when I said Mario would outlast Rodgers.

Hard to be shocked by anything in football these days but if managers with the status of Ancelotti or lesser so Klopp touched Liverpool it would be a genuine shocker.

Why? Massive club, will pay them big wages, both have spoken very positively about the club and its fans in the past. Neither would be a shock by any stretch.

Yeah be like them taking over at Stoke or Sunderland wouldn't it :rolleyes:

Barely There

Only just heard.

Bit of a shock at least with the timing.

I can only assume that Fenway have someone lined up, hopefully Klopp.

I don't think Ancelotti would be a good fit at all.

That part wouldn't surprise me since they're both out of work and there are no other big clubs looking at the moment. I would be surprised if fsg actually made a decent appointment though.

Jesus Wept

I am shocked that anybody could be remotely shocked.

Think Klopp would rather manage Liverpool than sit around waiting for a bigger club to lose their manager and then hoping they offer him a contract.

It would be for those who want to believe we have no stature in the football world anymore.

Stuff like this seems silly. If true why was he not sacked before the Everton game? Or why not straight after the United game since he could no longer hit the 7 point target?

I made the same point myself after the Man Utd game.

I think the minimum acceptable target for Rodgers was 14 points for these first 8 league games. He wasn't getting the results to do that but worse for him was that he wasn't getting performances from the players.

The international break is the best time to make a change as it minimises the disruption to the team.

I dunno, just seems a bit weird writing it directly to him, here, and also calling us the 'greatest football team/family in the world'. There's always something cringey when people proclaim any team or fans as the 'best', when they're neither.

Oh right, thanks for your post, it's greatly appreciated...

MOTD up now

There is some baseball player called Brendan Rodgers getting no end of tweets right now

The redtop puns with Klopp will write themselves...

I do not believe Rodgers is going anywhere to be honest. Not itk or anything, just sensible analysis of our actual position in the season and competitions when emotion is taken out of it.

BUT he is very much in the sack race and ffs that is a tight contest itself. Jose, Wenger and Rodgers.

billymitchell

I for one, am very excited at the thoughts of getting a new manager.

I'd love to know what was said between the two. I'd also love to see these two sort it out in the squared circle

I've no idea if Mr H is claming to be right or wrong there. He's covered all bases.

Kerrigooney

I just realised I did the last match thread of Rodgers reign.

Obviously my fault all this.

I was very wrong

Kerrigooney

It's very rare for someone to admit they were wrong on here so fair play to ya.

EDIT:I did quote that but it disappeared...Boards be Mignoleting again.

Caovyn Lineah

I'm delighted Carra came out today and said we are far from a big club,something i have been saying for longer than I care to remember.

I wonder will he get laughed at like I did.

Yakult

Happy to see Rodgers go. The time was right to part ways. Hopefully now we can get a proven manager who will get us playing well again. Excited.

Kerrigooney

Neil Atkinson has written a pretty fantastic piece on Rodgers this evening. Well worth a read.

Brendan was still peddling the 'constant rebuilding' line, and the fact any manager of Liverpool will need time and money in his final interview.

He talked about 4 catalysts being gone from the team in the last couple of years.

It's like he didn't arrive THREE YEARS ago.

I'm not gonna keep on about him, he's gone and I'll wish him all the best but he did lose his BEST player 2 years in a row. Between himself and the transfer committee they managed to make a balls of replacing them with what was, in all honesty, a fairly small net spend.

We're a huge club. We're not at the top table, but we're just beneath it and far ahead of most.

We have the resources, reputation and stature to get a manager far superior to Rodgers.

So you're right and the player who played 700+ times for Liverpool is wrong. We were a huge club, 25 years ago.

Jamie Carraghers opinion, whether right or wrong, will forever be held in higher regard than anything you will ever utter.

Just home from the game cracking atmosphere until the equaliser and then it was so flat.

Have you ever listened to Carragher talk for any amount of time? He holds numerous ridiculous opinions.

This is the same fella who thought we never should have bought a "foreigner" like Lucas Leiva when we had an English Danny Guthrie knocking around at the club.

He said exactly what I've been saying. So that kind of negates your post I'm afraid.

A bit sad that you're delighted at a man losing his job. Yes, he deserved it and yes, he's earned a good bit from his sacking, but I find it odd that you're 'on cloud 9' after his sacking when we don't even know if the next manager will be any better.
