His latest quotes do not read well at all..
[Source http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/10260981/Jose-Mourinho-leads-late-Chelsea-charge-to-hijack-Tottenhams-30m-Willian-deal.html]
In particular this bit...
Rodgers was evidently frustrated he had not secured a player he said would have been a “perfect” addition. “No, it wasn’t a football one [decision] and I don’t really want to go into it.
"That’s for us as a club really,” he said
He's having issue's with JWH / FSG. He alluded to this last Summer if I recall..
Could he walk out? Or perhaps should he?
I don't see him being here next year unless we are 5th at WORST and have a decent cup run.
Whats best for him? To stand his ground and walk out on the club?
I honestly don't think he would walk out on the club but perhaps he should? We have not spent a single penny net this summer. Usually we'd have around £20-£30m to spend. Plus where's that £50m from the new TV deal?
We've reduced the playing staff and reduced the wage bill even further...
Last year it was the Dempsey and Siggy saga.. This year it's Mickey Mouse / Costa / Bernard / Willian. The same thing is happening all over again.
Once bitten twice shy FSG might be but would anyone think that BR would be right to walk out say if Suarez leaves and no-one BIG coming in his place?
What's the man to do? Lead a team he knows will NOT qualify and meet his owners expectations for a season to be fired come what may?

your question is based on the assumption that we all know what expectations and targets have been agreed behind closed doors between BR and FSG. it's possible that FSG have told BR to make the right noises in press and to the fans that 4th is the target (just to keep appeasement) but whilst they're really hoping to use the season to keep us in and around 6th, whilst saving the money from sales and reduction in wages etc. to allow younger players to mature and bring in quality first team players next season. if this were the case, i'd be [oops] off but the point is, there's not a single poster on here who knows for sure what agreement is there between the manager and fsg.

When BR joined LFC, he was already prepped by FSG that he'll be working on a tight budget. Basically he already knew that we'll be skint. I don't think it's a surprise to him.

BR won't walk out, he wouldn't get another job as high profile as LFC imo.

Too much is being made of "FSG vs. BR vs ..."
where o' where should (or does) this all end?!
I coach football and, if I were BR, I cannot see any reason whatsoever to "walk-out" on LFC. IF (and it's a big "if") BR feels slighted/cheated by FSG, then that is a discussion fated to be held behind closed doors. Bottom line is this: FSG is/are going in the right direction and splashing sums of $$$ out for little to no reason is a recipe for disaster.
As a true LFC fan, do I want to see "better" signings... yes, but at the expense of the club. No.
Other than Mickey (and yes, I can't spell his name from memory) we've missed NOT ONE legit target thus far. Willian is not what we needed; Costa is/was a BIG maybe (but regardless, Costa re-upped with AM so it wasn't all on "us"); Papa is injured, and Alderweireild(sp?)/Eriksen (as much as I, presonally, would love to see him come) seem to not be realistic targets or more would be happening in regards to them.
Chill out. BR is a good manager and has a good, pleasing, and WINNING style. It'd be nice to see ANY sport embrace a lil' patience since patience is something we, the 98% of the world, MUST embrace since we don't have the luxury of thousands/millions of wealth.
There's nothing wrong with how LFC are progressing; in fact, their model is sane in an insane world.
