Brendan Rodgers sacked.

Cantona's Collars · 04-10-2015 5:33pm #1

Breaking on SSN now,Rodgers gone from Liverpool.

Sir Oxman · 04-10-2015 5:33pm

Yep on BBC too

Hank Scorpio · 04-10-2015 5:34pm

Mental, they must have someone lined up

Headshot · 04-10-2015 5:34pm

Nooooooooooooooooo

yabadabado · 04-10-2015 5:35pm

The right decision,they should have sacked him in the summer.Another year wasted along with a lot of money.He had one good season and there was no improvement since.

GLaDOS · 04-10-2015 5:35pm

Klopp apparently lined up but no idea how reliable that is

brianregan09 · 04-10-2015 5:35pm

Gutted......they might improve now

brevity · 04-10-2015 5:35pm

Bye Brendan, best of luck where ever it is you end up.

Lumbo · 04-10-2015 5:35pm

Liverpool will need to rebuild now

adox · 04-10-2015 5:35pm

Disappointing. Hope they don't get one of the top names in that are free at the moment.

Collie D · 04-10-2015 5:36pm

As a United fan I am gutted

Jon Stark · 04-10-2015 5:36pm

I was worried that draw had bought him time. Well deserved.

That_Guy · 04-10-2015 5:36pm

Showed great character to make that decision.

Harry Palmr · 04-10-2015 5:36pm

Calling dfx

Graeme Kelly made it known this was going to happen, the only question was the exact timing. A link from Bosnia (!) was made for Jurgen Klopp yesterday which said this would happen and that he'd be installed today.

Berserker · 04-10-2015 5:36pm

Wow, wasn't expecting that after a draw away to Everton.

Agent Coulson · 04-10-2015 5:36pm

Outstanding

Teflon Ron · 04-10-2015 5:37pm

Big Sam.

Saipanne · 04-10-2015 5:37pm

Didn't De Boer express interest this week?

Again.

Amirani · 04-10-2015 5:38pm

Can only assume there is a replacement lined up. Klopp would be a coup.

Berserker · 04-10-2015 5:39pm

Must have someone lined up. Wonder who it is? Read an article saying that Klopp agreed a three year contract to take over after the game today but didn't believe it.

I hear the tanning spend got out of control and fsg had enough. Shades of ridsdales fish tank........

LuckyLloyd · 04-10-2015 5:40pm

Good riddance. I look forward to the future. Disgraceful that he wasn't removed in May.

Utopia Parkway · 04-10-2015 5:41pm

Must have someone lined up. Well you would hope.

This.

Nones sing around now, need to bring in a winner

ctrl-alt-delete · 04-10-2015 5:41pm

Klopp obviously told them he got a call from Sunderland.

Was thinking Dick Advocaat myself.

tigger123 · 04-10-2015 5:42pm

Did he resign, or was he sacked? Or was it mutual consent?

Roquentin · 04-10-2015 5:42pm

character baby, character

AllGunsBlazing · 04-10-2015 5:42pm

Not being smart but surely Klopp could walk into a job with better prospects. Liverpool are miles away from being contenders.

Drexel · 04-10-2015 5:42pm

2 months too late

Harry Palmr · 04-10-2015 5:43pm

Beecroft (on Talksport I presume) says its Carlo Ancelotti

If I was him I'd hold off. Chelsea job could be available very soon

Sacked. He wouldn't resign anyway.

OneEightSeven · 04-10-2015 5:44pm

Alan Pardew must have given the Liverpool board the nod that he's ready for the job.

Paully D · 04-10-2015 5:44pm

The right decision.

One superb season but for the £290m he has spent you really expect something similar every year. He has been utterly horrendous in the transfer market and you couldn't really expect Liverpool to put their hands in their pocket for him again given his record.

Presuming it's Klopp or Ancelotti taking over, I think it'd be difficult for anyone to realistically criticise his dismissal IMO. Ancelotti would be a real next level appointment though, if I were the Liverpool owners I'd throw whatever it took at him to get him in.

Mutual sacking.

"Brendan, we're letting you go"

"I accept"

CSF · 04-10-2015 5:44pm

Get the sacking completely, but the timing is strange. A draw at Everton is a good result.

Things can change fairly quickly in football. Especially if a team gets the right manager in. There is talent in that squad.

wandatowell · 04-10-2015 5:45pm

Ah feck it, Rodgers was hilarious.

Just not sure why they'd join a non CL club

Lord TSC · 04-10-2015 5:45pm

Obviously told that he had to win today or he was gone.

He needed to go. He'd not shown anything to deserve to stay on. Would hope that Pool don't get Klopp....I might actually have to like them then :P

I imagine the decision was made last week. Regardless of the result in the derby.

bad2dabone · 04-10-2015 5:46pm

Long overdue. A tough job for the next guy tough.

Why did they wait until now to sack him? Why not the start of the season? New manager in, get his wish list of players and get a decent run at the season.

Drexel · 04-10-2015 5:46pm

Has Chelsea's poor form forced FSGs hand a small bit I wonder?

It is for a club where Liverpool are now. Its not for one where he was expecting/expected to have Liverpool now.

I'd like for the club to be in a place in a couple of years where its not considered a good result and that doesn't look like it was going to happed with Rodgers.

Klopp wants an interesting project. Liverpool are the definition of 'interesting project' if you ask me. They've got a massive, dedicated fanbase in a working class city - exactly like Dortmund. They also have owners willing to spend money (I think..).

Would love to see him go there.

Ancelotti apparently has been spoken to about the Roma job as Garcia is one more **** up from the sack.Roma would be a more attractive job now compared to Pool but you never know with football .Former player as well

Brendan Rodgers sacked.
