2 months too late

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

Sacked. He wouldn't resign anyway.

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

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"

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.

Ah feck it, Rodgers was hilarious.

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

Lord TSC · 04-10-2015 05:45PM

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.

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 05:46PM

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

I still don't get it though. If the decision was made weeks ago, what was the point of waiting..I don't see what has changed since Stoke. Trying to force a reisgnation?

There has to be questions as to why it didn't happen then.

Neither Ancelotti or Klopp were available at the start of the season. Both had said they were taking time off.

Rodgers probably appeared better than the alternatives available at that point.

I would be surprised if Ancelotti went anywhere near this. Klopp is a possibility.

International break is the best time to do this before Christmas. I'd say this decision was made a few weeks back.

Roma also has links to FSG.

To me, that doesn't make sense. If Liverpool win the game you obviously can't go sack him afterwards. Liverpool are 4 points from the last 6. Reasonable form for the last 2 games. Should he have gone after the United and Norwich games? Absolutely. But to keep him on after that, then for him to go and get 2 pretty creditable results, and sack him anyway, probably sums up how messy the running of Liverpool is at the moment.

I don't agree. Even the likes of Man United, Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea frequently go there and lose.

He's spoken highly of the club numerous times so fingers crossed he comes here. The owners might spend less than our domestic competitors, excluding Arsenal, but there's a lot more money available each window than there was at Dortmund.

If its not a klopp or ancelotti to replace him I expect a serious backlash from the fans against fsg

Brendan Rodgers sacked.
