Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 He'll not be given much money. Nor do I think he'll have most of the say in transfer, especially at the start. You can just see they've gone for him and Martinex before him because they can get a poor side playing well. And Liverpool are a poor side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Proper happy they didn't get Martinez, I really like him. If I was a Liverpool fan I'd be concerned somewhat about the fact Rodgers thought Swansea were still dominating sides in that bad run they had towards the end of the season. Dominating possession is not equal to dominating the opposition, look at us for example, looked really comfortable apart from the odd Sigurdsson long shot. Looking at Liverpool's squad though I'm not impressed. Jonjo Shelvey and Jay Spearing in midfield man and word is they have £30mil to improve, not enough unless they cut their losses on some of the duds. Still can't believe they p*ssed away so much money last summer. Wonder where the board are expecting him to finish in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Linked with Joe Allen already. Gentleman's agreement that Rodgers wouldn't go for any Swansea players for 12 months. can't wait til GG sees this, 'gentleman's agreement'! he'll explode Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I would love to be a fly on the wall when Rodgers tells Adam and Gerrard to play short passes and no Hollywood balls. Hell on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 John Henry: "Brendan's comprehensive football philosophy is perfectly aligned with those at the club and those soon to join the club".

Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 This will either prove an inspired move or backfire spectacularly. For me he is a very good manager, good coach and more than competent, but success at Liverpool will be defined by a good start and perhaps fans and media alike lowering their massive standards/expectations. That and the owners too. Top four is surely way out of the reach for them for a good number of years you would think regardless as is the league title itself. What they need is a kind of rebirth if you like similar to our own. I cannot see there being the patience for that to happen though, on and off the stands. They really ought to have went for an established world-class manager. Rafa would have been perfect or even Cappello. Rodgers will be eaten up by Liverpool you feel. That and the kiss of death from Parky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the kiss of death from Parky You're right, he won't be given time because they 'deserve' better. Love how destined to failure this is again, they should have pulled out all the stops to get Rafa back, he would have got nearly as much protection as KKK.

Cronky Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 There will be no DoF according to BBC. A technical panel? of four or five will make decisions?? That sounds like a compromise. Rodgers wouldn't have wanted to work under the shadow of someone like Van Gaal. I'm not sure how that group would work, especially if they're new to one another. I don't know if it's a model that's been used commonly elsewhere. Plus are you going to attract the best people if they're only going to be part of a group of five?

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Oh good, the nonsense about Swansea playing 'attractive stuff' is back. Yeah, their possession-based catenaccio is far from attacking or attractive do hate how since Barca came to be top of the world that everyone has become absolutely obsessed with possession..... 9 times out of 10 having more posession means f*ck all anyway.
