KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Would you sack Rodgers?

Would re-signing Benitez be a step backwards if he got us back into the champions league?

If he did get us in, then no. But I just think you should go for new blood. Rafa is a good choice, but I just like to see something new, if we did go for someone new that is.

I personally want Rodgers to succeed, that's my first wish. But I just can't wish for Rafa to come back anymore. I want Rodgers to get another season.

The manager is only as good as the support he gets from the owners...
I feel that no matter who we have as manager, while FSG run the show we are destined for mediocrity.
I believe we should have given Kenny more time as manager.....
But now that Rodgers is manager he should be given at least a couple of seasons to prove himself and fashion a squad that he believes in.
But my gut feeling is that while FSG are the ones pulling the strings no matter who Brendan wants to buy unless they meet the FSG criteria he wont be given funds.
If this is the case then if he is sacked then whoever takes over be it Rafa, Jose, Klopp or any other manager unless FSG back them i think LFC is only ever going to be a mid table club.
Ever since they bought the club we have been warned that they are masters of PR ( maybe that should read BS) they will manage our expectations... So if we feel disheartened they may change the manager but i fail to see how that will change our results.
I think Brendan should see out his contract but I also think he should be given the funds to buy the players he wants...and before people use Allen and Borini as examples of his choice... they are only players that met FSG policy plus with the connection of Roma and another FSG investor I think that purchase stinks of backroom agendas...

You're right in saying that we can only go so far under FSG. However, whilst a title challenge is a long way off, there is no reason why our squad shouldn't be challenging for 4th. Arsenal are there for the taking and so are spurs.

With the players we have at the moment, and the money that FSG have put in so far, it is purely bad management that has left us with swansea and west brom as our closest rivals instead of spurs and arsenal.

good for you and well done !!!!!

Faz - did Oscar Pistorious deliberately kill his girlfriend? The people of Liverpool have the answer and are waiting for you to summon them up.

No, but 6th would now be the absolute bottom place finish for me barring injury to all our forwards or something similar. Anything lower is the manager. When you look at WBA, Swansea, Everton what they'd give for a Suarez. You can only swallow excuses for so long. Time is up.

I_Bleed_Red.........With the player criteria and FSG ethos in place would we even get any of the names mentioned to take the job? Not a cat in hells chance.

for someone who supports Liverpool your nastiness toward the people of Liv erpool is bang out of and order and I honestly don't see what that issue in south Africa has anything to do with issue around Liverpool and its football club , look mate snide comments about the people of Liverpool is wrong .

its not about the people of Liverpool...

I wasnt suggesting that any of those managers would even consider taking over at LFC at present. My point is that no matter who replaces Rodgers as manager unless FSG back that manager then he is destined to have a young squad that while producing some exciting games will ultimately not challenge for top 4.
So therefore replacing Rodgers is not really going to solve the problems we have.
