Whilst I would have preferred the return of Rafa, I am quite happy with this appointment in his stead, he will be under pressure from the start though, the press will have a field day if he has a bad first game in charge.
Stupid decision by the Swansea manager imo.
Will go from being a hero at Swansea to sacked at Liverpool after a season, due to their ridiculous expectations.
i'd lean towards this happening as i just can't see this working.
is he going to be big enough to phase gerrard out?
i thought you had better results when gerrard didn't play last season?
Happy with Rodgers. I just hope he gets the backing of all the supporters and hasn't been given stupid objectives by FSG. This will be a long term project and everyone involved will need to understand and accept we won't be competing with the best for a while.
Isn't that the point of AVB?
And he got sacked when Chelsea was in still with a chance of Top 4.
I see another Hodgson situation coming up.
...according to SSN. They had to report that though after earlier trying to create a story claiming that the two clubs couldn't reach an agreement on the amount of compensation that needed to be paid.Liverpool agree compensation fee with Swansea for Brendan Rodgers and three of his backroom staff.

As long as rogers shows progress and doesnt come across as an arrogant **** and blame everyone apart from himself when we lose, then he will get a chance.
Yes, fortunately we haven't turned into the circus that is Chelsea YET with managers.
Clarke has gone now according to various people on Twitter.
They worked together at Chelsea didn't they, wasn't Clarke No. 2 to Mourinho and so above Rodgers? Hard to see how it would work with Clarke now working under Rodgers, not impossible, but makes most sense to me that he would move on instead.bit disappointed if he's gone honest.
can understand the new manager wants his own people in, but i think clarke could have made a useful contribution.
told u rogers was the man for the job![]()
