Guest bimpy474 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Although Brendan's Swansea did play decent possession footy, it was as boring as hell imo, maybe with better players it might be a bit more exciting. Better players like Henderson, Adam, Spearing, Downing? I think Bimpy is assuming that Liverpool's better finance will give him the opportunity to revamp the squad....

BlueStar Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Brendan Rodgers set to take charge at Liverpool By Pat Murphy BBC Radio 5 live Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers is expected to be confirmed as the new Liverpool boss in the next 48 hours. The clubs are understood to be discussing compensation for the 39-year-old, with Swansea likely to recieve a compensation payment of between £4m and £5m. Wigan manager Roberto Martinez had been in contention after meeting with owner John W Henry in Miami last week. But attention has since switched back to Rodgers. More to follow.

Nah not them, i'm assuming he will get some money to spend. he won't be spending it though, it will be Van Gaal if the stories are true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It'll end in tears if Rodgers gets the job. He doesn't seem like he's composed enough, and I think he may be a bit of a flash in the pan; he has no experience managing a club anywhere near as big as Liverpool. Plus, GG will have his voodoo doll of the guy out again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't take the job if he wasn't involved in those decisions imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont say that i would be heartbroken, selfishly i just want the next manager of that disgusting club to fail, nothing would be funnier than seeing them fight relegation.

Ketsbaia Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Won't he need loads and loads of money to build a side that plays anything like Swansea? For all the good stuff Swansea played, they got figured out by several teams near the end and there's a genuine chance they will suffer 'second season syndrome'. He's an alright manager, but a result of the overhyping in this country and for me this will only end in disaster for both parties. Excellent.

Swansea will probably go route one and Stoke their way to safety, Liverpool will suffer Swansea's Second Season Syndrome with Rodgers' style being sussed. Everyone wins.

Unbelievable Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I ridiculed the possible signing of Martinez as Liverpool manager, but this is possibly even worse. Besides being completely unproven at that level, his style of football is the complete opposite of the Moneyball slight on football Liverpool have been trying to implement at a huge expense in the last transfer windows. They are set up to put as many crosses into the box as possible for Carroll to pounce on; I can't see a manager who would be further removed from this than Rodgers in the Premiership. Their squad would essentially be a write off. Bring it on I say! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Bit disappointed for Swansea, they haven't been in the league long enough for me to hate them and this sucks for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I honestly think Swansea's success goes deeper than the manager, with continuity in personel behind the scenes and a style of play now engrained in the club - largely started by Martinez. It will be interesting to see how Rodgers will do outside of it. Reminds me a bit of McLaren doing well at Twente but stinking everywhere else, a very well ran club.

Stottie Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Liverpool need to score more goals. You don't score goals by passing it sideways in midfield. It might suit Henderson and Downing though! How many chances did Swansea create when we played at their place? They had something like 70% possession but I don't remember them doing anything with it.
