Ahem, cough cough

Who is Graeme Kelly

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.

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

FSG have money on Advocaat going first?

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.

Any reason to touch the great Carragher:pac:

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

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

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.

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.

Is he definitely gone!?

All ive seen is that 1 twitter post

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

Henry instinctively goes for a handball...

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

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