Good decision. Many young managers try to step up too soon.
I’ve read today that there is a list of 12 candidates for interview. This seems to be a very well thought out process this time.
Gather as much info as possible and make the decision then.
I’ve also read that the DoF position is to be changed and responsibilities split up. There will still be a DoF, but he will be more in the role of overseer than actively involved in the squad.
Also, there seems to be a shift in the managers position. FSG seem to be more interested in the European model of a head coach, rather than a club manager. So the final result of the search might surprise a lot if people.

Good decision by Rodgers, I heard big Sam turned the job down aswell as he’s made himself available for the Chelsea or Barca job

Wasnt Brendan Rodgers also asked (by journalists) about the chelsea job (considering he DID work there too) and his reply was ‘im trying to make a career, not destroy one’ wise words from Rodgers, i presume he thinks the same about the liverpool job, build a decent swansea career over the next few years, THEN move on.

Its too early for him. Getting a bit worried that the big names don’t seem to be coming up though, probably down to FSG wanting a young manager. Only problem with that is can the like of AVB, Martinez and them convince the likes of Gerrard, Carra, Reina, Agger in what they want to do. Personally I think Fabio Capello should be a least interviewed for the job. Perfect candidate to sort Liverpool out and can attract the type of signings needed in the summer.

I’m a Newcastle supporter but I dnt tink it matters who takes over da pool der a club on a major decline, gerrard is past it, carragher was past it 3 years ago, Henderson, Adam, downing, kuyt & maxi not good enough for challenging for the champs league!!

It will take more than a new manager, no matter how good he is to fix Liverpool. They need to get rid of most of the squad they are either too old or too crap to be serious contenders. Gerrard is too inconsistent, carragher too old and shelvy is league of ireland standard at best.

Too true. Chelsea and Liverpool are, at present, poisoned chalices for any manager in my opinion. Chairman and fans with high expectations. Similar to Newcastle. Whoever takes that job is going to have to do exactly what Alan Pardew did or they will lose the support of the fans(assuming that they get it in the first place). I think FSG have made a serious error of judgement and, while I hope I’m wrong ,I do think it will come back to haunt them.

No bottle, laughable.. Has sense is more to the point. Why are people banging on about capello n the likes as if he is gonna do an interview + don’t think they could match his wages in any case

Rightly so, this kind of nonsense of getting everyone to go for an interview is beyond stupid, it never works, identify top three managers you want & make a quick direct move for them. Reminds of the time the FAI were holding interviews & ended up appointing Staunton & Robson.
Do they really think managers are going to go for the job, risk getting turned down for it & end up looking pathetic in front of their own fans

Liverpool are in decline.

A little question for those saying FSG should just target 2-3 managers.
In who’s opinion would they be the top 2-3?
David Dean seems to be advising them at present, should they just go with his opinion?
Take a sample of say 10 fans and ask them who their top 3 would be.
I’d say you would come up with a list of between 10 and 20 names.
Who’s to say that the person that comes up with the list of 2-3 managers is right?
Much better to talk to as many people as possible and get as many opinions as possible.
By the way, my top 3 would be Klopp, Bielsa and Benitez. In no order.
Can’t see many agreeing with me which would prove my point.

Delighted, now if rafa woukd gladly f off too id be happy.

phew…. thank kop for that…..

Getard”we were beat on goal difference thats how close we were ,i think ill live , see u on 3e next year

Rijkarrd,Benitez or capello for me.. Liverpool need to get it right this time otherwise we will be like Newcastle or Chelsea , chopping and changing managers all the time..

My God it must be woorying times for Liverpool fans when Rodgers considers that his prospects at Swansea are much better than at Liverpool.
Sure Liverpool has its history……like Preston North End

absolute total respect for this guy. and what an insult to Martinez. he should do what Brendan Rodgers did and tell the scousers to take their has-been racist shambolic joke of a club and shove it. take a bow, Mr. Rodgers.

Danny u just said and i quote “disgusted with the way rafa was treated” did u r did u nor boo him after games at the end of his term. And 95% of course 95% because who will tell u that they wanted him to go???????

seriously, Getard, you need to get out more. Seriously.

Who cares about the mid table losers.

Who cares ,liverpool r a crap team .they have changed from having asperations of winning to slaging those who are still a at the top of there game for any little slip ups; namely man utd. Liverpool is a small team with no dreams(hasbeens)

Rogers hadnt got the bottle simple as. Delighted
