Dewsbury Hall taking about Rodgers organising a pool tournament

Everyone had to join in. I was young at the time – wasn’t a first-team player – but was drawn to play him in the first round.
I said to the lads: “Do I try my hardest?” Because he was going: “I’m really good at pool” and all the lads thought he fancied himself to win the whole thing.
Quite a few people were watching and I beat him 3-0 and you could tell he was raging. A week later I got sent out on loan to Blackpool.

A collection of the best Brendan Rodgers quotes...

"My biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study and that's been my biggest influence." Okay, if that doesn't sound like a line written by Ricky Gervais for David Brent then I don't know what does.

"I always say a squad is like a good meal. I'm not a great cook, but a good meal takes a wee bit of time. But also, to offer a good meal, you need good ingredients." Lol.

"I've always worked along with the statistic that if you can dominate the game with the ball you have a 79% chance of winning the game."

"When you’ve got the ball 65-70% of the time, it’s a football death for the other team. We’re not at that stage yet, but that’s what we will get to. It’s death by football. You just suck the life out of them."

"Southampton don’t have to sell, they have a choice. Maybe their objectives have changed. They were looking to be a Champions League club, I believe." After saying this Southampton finished 7th 2 points behind Liverpool, both qualified for the Europa League. However, Southampton never made it out of qualifying this year.

"If you spend more than £100 million, you expect to be challenging for the league." Said this about Spurs when they sold Gareth Bale and bought players such as Soldado etc. A year later Liverpool sold Suarez and did exactly the same thing and he finished just as badly.

"I will leave no stone unturned in my quest – and that quest will be relentless." He just said the same thing twice.

"I use a quote with the players,'Per aspera ad astra', which is Latin for ‘through adversity to the stars’." Players probably think he is a tool.

“The best players want to play in the best competition. Any club will suffer the same when they’re not in there. It will hurt you, and United will know that.” Said this about United who ended up signing Di Maria, Herrera, Blind, Rojo and Falcao. Yes, we know Di Maria and Falcao were ****e but Unites still attracted them without Champions League.

"I think there’s three players who will let us down this year — the cause, the fight, everything – and I have written them down already in these three envelopes. Make sure you are not in one of the envelopes." He drew this straight out of SAF's autobiography which made it even more cringeworthy.

"I started coaching for one reason and that was to make a difference for people, not just as footballers but as human beings."

"I’ve always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can’t live for a second without hope." This just screams David Brent from The Office.

"It was a perfect away performance, apart from the first 10 minutes."

"We play with 11 men, other teams play with 10 men and a goalkeeper." Brendan pls stop.

"I don't think there is anyone better, that is the reality of how I see it." Brendan doesn't think Mourinho or Guardiola or Klopp could do a better job at Liverpool than him.

"Three months ago I was a tactical genius." The nearest match Rodgers had been involved in three months ago was a poor 0-0 performance against Bolton.

"When we lose I don't get too disappointed in the same way that when we win I don't get too carried away."

Bonus quotes for the people who think i'm being harsh to Rodgers:

"If you give a bad player time, he can play. If you give a good player time, he can kill you."

“I believe a young player will run through a barbed wire fence for you. An older player looks for a hole in the fence.”

Brendog doubling down. Oh dear.

What’s going on with him then? Not seen much news lately

[Mr Pink]

Brendog doubling down. Oh dear.

Have to say, he’s not showing great character

Brendog doubling down. Oh dear.

Slinks back into the Celtic job.

A good percentage of the locals aren't happy with the appointment.

I dare say all will be forgiven when his team starts knocking six past the likes of Cowdenbeath and Whitehill Welfare

Not sure. Won the FA Cup but chucked away two top 4 finishes and currently on course for a bottom half finish. When you've won the league with someone else just 6 years ago, I don't think an FA Cup buys as much credit as you'd think.

When the guy who won them the league didn't make it through the next season so I think you are right about over estimating how much credit he has in the bank.

[Rafa Justice]

Surely he’s got enough credit in the bank to see him through to at least next season?

in this crazy world of football nothing would surprise me ....but that would be madness....Could see Solskajer getting another opportunity

Leicester aren't going down but if there isn't a turn around then they'll start looking at replacements imo.
