LIVERPOOL chairman Tom Werner flies into Merseyside on Tuesday to conduct the club’s end of season review.

The Boston-based Anfield power broker will stay for 72 hours and demand answers about the club’s dismal end to the season which included a 6-1 last day defeat at Stoke.

It’s understood that manager Brendan Rodgers will survive the inquest, having credit in the bank following their second placed finish 12 months ago.

But Rodgers will be left under no illusions that he will have to hit the ground running at the start of the new campaign.

Liverpool’s transfer committee will also come under scrutiny after a number of last summer’s buys failed to deliver.

The club’s owners, The Fenway Sports Group, will demand a much improved recruitment policy this time around knowing that the fans have become disillusioned.

Some have called for Rodgers’ head and providing Werner receives the right answers this week then he will survive.

The second lace finish should have no bearing on Rodgers future. The Suarez factor was the main reason for that.

He'll give the right answers, he'll tell them what they want to hear. I really don't know how he hasn't got sacked yet to be honest. He will be one lucky bloke if he is in charge next season. Personally I lost faith in him, the players, or our ability to pick transfer targets, the medical team, the owners.... and certainly in Colin Pascoe and those shorts.

He won't be sacked and this place will break with rage

The Sunday Mirror is having it both ways - screen grabs

In what way? Why couldn't they both be true? (Ignoring that they are probably both made up)

[Fosterbloke]

Was thinking the same. They're both valid.

[Marvel]

Theres so many contradictory stories coming out right now. We will all find out on Monday / Tuesday I suppose.

[peekay]

I dont get it. FSG have access to all the information - who was responsible for which signings, the exact amount paid, everything. Apparently Rodgers has been in communication with them for three years. We all know the main criteria by which managers performance is measured - performance on the pitch. Given that they have access to all the information needed to make a decision on hiring/firing people, what new information are they going to learn by coming here and interviewing Rodgers and TC? What special insight can Rodgers provide? What tough questions can Werner ask the answers to which they already dont know?

[EwarWoo]

What did you see as the issues. What did you see as the positives. What's your plan to fix things. If we change x will you accept with good grace. Etc etc. Lots of possible questions.

[TheElephantMan]

It's just a formality, as it should be. There's nothing to be celebrated in this situation, there is no glee to be had from seeing someone being sacked. I wish Rodgers well and he won't be struggling for money. Bye bye Brendan.

[Chazza]

They won't sack him.

He is their man and they will stick with him but he will need a good start to the season.

[TheElephantMan]

They won't sack him.

He is their man and they will stick with him but he will need a good start to the season.

Yeah - they won't sack him, they don't have a track record of that sort of thing.

[Chazza]

Not when they pick a man who they back.

Everyone will be losing their **** when he is still in charge next week.

Well, yeah, I will, and I reserve my right to do so and ask everyone to afford me a reaction should that happen.
