CardiffGreens Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Done and dusted according to the Beeb: 3 year deal likely to be announced within the next 24 hours. Brendan Rodgers has agreed a deal to become the new manager of Liverpool. The 39-year-old is understood to have signed a three-year contract at Anfield and his appointment is likely to be officially confirmed within 24 hours. Liverpool will pay between £4m and £5m in compensation to secure the Northern Irishman's services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copey11 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Will be an interesting season for Liverpool. I like Rodgers, but he will have a bit of a conundrum, with a squad of senior players on high wages, bought for a different playing style. Sure, there's a few that will match Rodgers style, but several, especially the ones with some years left on the contracts, won't. Will he try to install his system, or try a more gradual approach? I can see them treading water for a season, if they let him last that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 He needs to ship Carragher out a.s.a.p. Then, I'd say they are a good right winger & centre back short of a rather good team. I can see Henderson do well in midfield alongside Lucas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It could go either way for me. I'm sitting on the fence for this one. I do think he will do better if he has full control though and not a DOF meddling over his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I think Liverpool going for a manager that has had one decent season at Swansea shows just how far they've fallen. Rodgers has always maintained that he wanted to stay at Swansea long term, we all know that was bullshit, I'd be quite annoyed with him if I was a Swansea fan.

legov Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Agree with Trent, Rodgers is the best out of that category and I can see him becoming a really good manager for Liverpool. They will need to give him time though. He won't get time, not if he starts the season slowly that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toela65 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Been reliably informed that Rodgers has been guaranteed a very minimum of 2 to 3 years to be sniffing around 4th not within it. Thats no matter what the fans say or do the owners have assured him, so he doesn't have to worry too much about time and patience yet. He should be fine and I after spendi ng the last 3 days reading everything there is to read that I could get my hands on about his career, his philosophy and his tactics and methods I am really confident FSG have got the right man for the job. By researching and learning about him in detail he really doe's become an exciting young prospect and I am looking forward to it immensely. He has excellent man management skills and has the gift of the gab so I'm confident he can convince our better players to buy into his vision so not too worried about losing people, although I still have slight concerns over Reina and Skrtel, possibly Suarez with him being so close to Dalglish. I am also liking the sounds of the new european style structure FSG are implementing too and it sould work well with Rodgers giving him the support he needs to success and glad there won't be a DOF above him as such but 3 people working alongside him in charge of different technical aspects. I feel so much more confident now Dalglish has gone and we have this new young and modern manager more suited to todays game and think ith this new approach and structure we can be back in the top 4 within the 2 to 3 years he is getting. However, as always the proof will be in the pudding so we will see what happens in the next couple of years. Cautiously optimistic and excited. Rodgers has also told Gylfi Sig to sign for Swansea regardless which I thought was a nice touch from him towards his old club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 2, 2012 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2012 I think you've got a really good manager on your hands, far better than Martinez and better even than some of the bigger names linked with the job. I rate Rodgers that highly and he would have been my first choice to come here. I'm not convinced Liverpool will ever get back to winning league titles, the club just doesn't seem to have the financial power to achieve that sort of goal so he has his work cut out meeting expectations. But given time I think he will do a very good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he will be lovingly accepted by the Liverpool fans, like K. Diggy, or will they be on his back from the start of the season, like Woy?

VillaGoMarching Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Thats jamie carragher's liverpool career finished then thing is, even king kenny was phasing him out, but as soon as Rodgers does it, they'll want him strung from a lamp post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given time I think he will do a very good job. I agree Trent said the same to my mates. Barring some freak miracle or some really strong FFP rules being upheld LFC can forget about PL titles unless were taken over by some massively rich sugar daddy like Roman or the Sheik. Most supporters I speak to have massively lowered their expectations after last 3 seasons and would be more than happy with top 6 this season and next and if were back in the top 4 within 3 years most people I know would be happy enough than that. I haven't spoke to anyoine who has talked about title challenges anytime in the future and I think proper, non-plastic twitter fans' expectations are at a realistic level now compared to where the club is currently.

I disagree respectfully mate. I haven't spoke or come across any fans in real life or on the boards (not RAWK that place is a circus tat doesn't count that the majority of LFC fans are ashamed is even connected with us - its a stain on our name) who don't want Rodgers to bomb Carra out and Gerrard not too far behind.
