Instinct/faith/hope

He is going to speak to the pope ... Lfc need gods help

BR is doing no worse then he did with Swansea last year.

Nice comfortable mid-table finish and no return in any of the Cups.

He has spent around £40million with us to repeat his record at Swansea, unfortunatley for him he is now at Liverpool and we have slightly higher expectations.

I lstened carefully to his post match interview tonight and he said that our performance had "almost" been a text book away display in Europe. I'm reasonably certain we lost 2-0.

He is out of his depth but it isn't his fault.
The owners appointed him and it is the owners that are the problem. They are trying to run the club and their baseball team on the cheap and both are suffering.

Whoever replaces BR will be merely the next short term owner of the poison chalice that has become the Liverpool manager's job under owners who dont know if a football is blown up or stuffed.

he probably thinks he should be the next pope

correct on all accounts.

but what do the real fans think?

Ask stan

They hate Atletico and Barca!

But what does that have to do with this issue?

Spot on Shaggydog.
We went from a manager who overspent on average players to a manager who spent 25 million on a combo of Allen and Borini. He wanted to spend another 8 million on Dempsey. Some folks might say that's less then Carroll but one of his remits was to spend the budget more conservatively and on better players. That hasn't happened and the league position and cup runs are worse than last year. On that basis, Rodgers has not achieved his targets and in most walks of life has simply failed at his job.
He can be given more time and another 18 transfer windows but what possible leap of faith would it take to believe it would be the right decision. He quite clearly is miles out of his depth if you are looking for a manager to COMPETE with the clubs who have a realistic chance of Champions League qualification. The owners can dig up the sand and stick their heads in it and that's their right but the club will only retreat in to further mediocrity. This club was founded on the basis that everyone gets a crack of the whip for a period of time that gives them a fair chance to stand up to the mark or not. Rodgers will always put out a team that plays nice football but there's a soft underbelly that will not go away.
Who should take over is not to be contemplated until the summer until we know who can actually take the job or who would even want it but this nice idea experiment is failing and will not succeed.

faz, it seems that after almost every game that we lose or draw, you start a thread asking us all how we feel about br, and now it's asking who we think should replace him. yet you're saying you still think he should stay.

I'm not quite understanding you though cos if you are shoring br why start all of these threads immediately after a bad result? is it that you get that upset by it or is it something else?

am not asking to be an a-hole, I genuinely dot get it

i ask the great unwashed knee jerk masses there opinion to see there reaction cant you see this , just shows how fickle the modern day red is
