Brendan Rodgers

[Vermilion]

Am i bad for even thinking FSG would be so stupid as to do something like this, with a person like 'Arry 'i'll keep it secret.....till someone stops my car and asks'...' Redknapp!'

[BobTheCharmer]

If I ever see him twitching in our dugout, I'm done.

There are numerous reasons why Harry sitting in our dugout would be a bad thing but his twitching isn't one of them.

Look at this absolute ****

@LFC_WLF No, apparently FSG have contacted Redknapp to sound him out & already agreed a deal. This is subject to results though, but done.

@HolmeJanet Sky sports have the story but haven't run it yet. Talksport are also in the know & Richard Keys has hinted earlier in the day.

Haha. I just posted something similar in the Andy Carroll thread:

Stranger things.

Rumours on the radio earlier today that Droopy senior (Redknapp) is in talks with a premiership club.

I would put money on it being Southampton again though

Return to West Ham?

[Buzzo]

[Phoenix07]

It's a Championship club allegedly.

Nothing to see here, except those who want Rodgers out.

he does like the sea air on that coast.

Did anyone hear Swansea's Geordie full back (Alan something) on TS this afternoon?

Not sure what he his exact words were but something along the lines of Rogers being inclined to get the hair dryer out after games when they hadn't gone well.

At least that's what I think he said but as I was on a lunchtime promise my mind was elsewhere.

They are hard to understand

Never thought it would be possible to be pleased with the manager after starting 2/15.

But I am.

dunno where to put this, but seems right here:

Rodgers 'can't make miracles' at Liverpool,Mourinho warns
The Real Madrid coach believes that the 39-year-old manager faces a challenge to make the Anfield club competitive, and thinks that the title is Manchester City's to lose

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho believes new Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers faces an unenviable task in turning Liverpool into Premier League contenders, suggesting that the Northern Irishman "can't make miracles".

After two draws and two defeats in their opening four games, Liverpool are already 11 points behind league leaders Chelsea and welcome last season's runners-up, Manchester United, to Anfield on Sunday.

And Mourinho has stated that the Reds, in his view, are "not even close" to possessing a squad capable of competing at the top end of the table.

"I think Brendan, he can't be [a] champion with that team," Mourinho told Sky Sports. "He can't make miracles with that team. It's not an easy job. Liverpool expectations are very high.

"The reality is that Liverpool, at this moment, they're not the best team in the Premiership. Not even close. The squad is not at that point."

The Portuguese coach, who won back-to-back Premier League titles with Chelsea in 2005 and 2006, does think, however, that Rodgers can build a side capable of challenging if he is given time to invest in new players.

"Other squads are investing much more than Liverpool are doing," Mourinho continued.

"So I hope [Rodgers] has time to build because if you don't have the top players in your hands, it takes more time to build. I think he deserves that and I think, with time, he can do the job for them."

Mourinho feels Manchester City have the squad to replicate last season's title triumph, but admitted that rivals Manchester United will push them all the way.

"I believe Man City are the champions and have the squad to do it, no doubt," he asserted. "It's an incredible squad that can make easy rotations because they have such a strong squad. Now they are the champions so that will also play a role.

"Man United are Man United. I don't think Sir Alex [Ferguson] accepts himself not to win the Premiership for two consecutive years because he's strong and a winner, so he'll fight hard for that.

"Man United are not signing many players but [Robin] Van Persie means a lot in the Premiership to make the difference."

We need to listen to Mourinho and give Brendan time.

[spanky]

Rodgers will get time but will he get funded to bring in the players he wants.....thats the big question.

[Leyton388]

I have 100% confidence in Rodgers i only hope FSG spend the money which i am not so confident on.

[Pablo]

It sounds bizarre on the surface, with only two points on the board, but I think the signs are still very promising. Playing some lovely stuff and dominating possession.
