Brendan Rodgers

We won't sign anyone decent whilst we have a no-mark manager. Bring in a decent manager and we'll get better players wanting to play for us.

That looks like it comes from an American perspective. When it comes to English, I'd go with the Poms, rather than the Yanks. Learnt ftw!

There are several examples on the website from where that was taken too:-

Learned vs. learnt
Learned is the more common past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Learnt is a variant especially common outside North America. In British writing, for instance, it appears about once for every three instances of learned. In the U.S. and Canada, meanwhile, learnt appears only once for approximately every 500 instances of learned, and it’s generally considered colloquial.

Writers throughout the English-speaking world use learned as the adjective meaning possessing broad, profound knowledge. Incidentally, this sense of learned is pronounced with two syllables: LUR-ned. As a verb and in normal past-participial use, learned is one syllable.

Examples

Instances of learnt, as seen below, are especially easy to find in British publications:

What’s more, I learnt that it is possible for scientists to influence these enquiries. [Guardian]

But, just like Peter Siddle, he has learnt tricks from other sports. [Telegraph]

As a result of both, I have learnt a number of lessons (some of them the hard way). [Financial Times]

The same publications use learned much of the time, however.

But learned is the more common form, and it is used both in the past tense and as the past participle, as shown below:

He learned to read at a little schoolhouse where his parents had gone as well. [NY Times]

Although many new mothers think breastfeeding will be natural, it is a learned skill, she said. [News.com.au]

During his stay, he has learned that some things remain the same as on earth. [CBC.ca]

Whoa there elephantman, that's a very positive comment so early in the morning, anymore of that and I will start believing you would like to join Brendan's official fan club.

At what point will you start supporting the manager of the football team you support?

(any more edits and I will be proclaiming my love for you xxx)

Heard today that there's a very strong possibility of Frank deBoer being appointed by the weekend. From the friend of a disgruntled player's wife.

Interesting.

De Boer is going to love the Ings/Austin partnership up top with Nzonsi anchoring that midfield.
