Agreed that it depends on what the owners asked him to, but I really doubt they asked him to take us backwards and lower the value of the team and club as a whole. I am pretty sure they did ask him to curb the wages and bring in younger players, but I doubt they said anything to him involving playing style. The players we have could certainly have been utilized in a better way...

I'm not so sure Marko. Of course they wouldn't have asked him to take us backwards or lower the value of the team. But they said that the focus is on the long term, that they want to build a team capable of challenging at the top in a few seasons. And they did make noises about the style of play too when they appointed him. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jun/01/brendan-rodgers-new-liverpool-managerWhat they probably didn't realise is that he'd come in and pretty much 'trash' the current squad. They're not football people so perhaps they didn't see it coming.

I think that the problem is perhaps that they've been relying on advisors. They commented on style. What would they know about style? Have they been watching games like we have for years? Even now they hardly attend matches. Do you think they even watch every minute of all our games? I reckon they just check the results.
With the above suspicions in mind, it does make you wonder why they decided to sack Kenny when he gave us a boost the previous season as caretaker, improved our style and then took us to 2 cup finals. His £100million investment only had one season - probably deserved another. Yet people who aren't football fans let alone experts decided to sack him... and overlook Rafa too?
I get the feeling that they have advisers whose opinion had a strong influence. Someone like Purslow who almost tried to start picking the team and tactics.

Such a stupid thread
How many of the other managers listed at the start of this thread have the level of expectancy and pressure that Rodgers has had to endure?
How many have a fan base around the world like ours, and all the expectancy that comes with it?, none.

This 'Rodgson' garbage is very silly, to be fair.

im getting bored of it. faz and KP, every thread you are on, if someone doesnt agree with you you are insulting them. give it a rest. if your point cant stand up on its own without the insults, then maybe they are shiit. You really are losing it Mate. . . thanks for starting you post like that, you proved my point.
