Welcome to LFC Brendan Rogers, the best of luck to you.

Came across very well in the PC before I thought.

Good comments from JWH, lets hope BR is backed 100% by FSG

Liverpool's principal owner John Henry says they've got the man they want:

"Fenway Sports Group is committed to building for the long-term. Brendan Rodgers' appointment today as manager of Liverpool Football Club is one of the most important steps we will take in building the kind of club on and off the pitch supporters can be excited about.

"Brendan's comprehensive football philosophy is perfectly aligned with those at the club and those soon to join the club. He was the first choice unanimously among them and he had no hesitation at all in embracing exactly what we want to try to build at Liverpool.

"We do not expect miracles overnight nor should anyone else. But we firmly believe that the direction the club is heading in will lead to Premier League championships. We will embrace the unconventional, build the right way and together set a bold, exciting course for this historic club."

One of my concerns about Henry and Werner was as non-football fans they wouldn't have a preference in the type of football they'd want us to play. Although talk is cheap, I'm optimistic about the general direction we're aiming for.

I'm feeling reasonably encouraged about it all.

Impressive first day at the office. Can't wait for the new season and seeing the evolution of his playing style.

And of course great for Norn Ireland!!

fwiw the swansea chairman has just been on talk****e and said that contractually we cant sign any swansea players for 12 months.

read that, but as siggy isnt yet a confirmed swansea player then maybe he might still be a possible head hunt [not rhyming slang, btw].

Audio file of BR press conference (courtesy of The Anfield Wrap)... he comes off as CLASS.

He comes across really well in the second part which wasn't broadcast live, and he's pretty clear that he's in charge of the "technical board" - which is not very continental. Brendan 1 - 0 Ayres.
