KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum New deal for Rodgers?

It's being reported by a few sites that Rodgers is about to sign a new 5 year deal with Liverpool. I'm not convinced the stories are true yet because they are being reported by, sports direct news and the daily star! But it says the reason we are giving him a new contract is because we're worried that AVB is going to be sacked soon and Levy would target Rodgers as his next manager.

BR still has 18 months remaining on his original deal, personally I wouldn't want the club to give him a new deal until the summer. It's way too early to say this season is going to be a success.

why would he want to leave for spurs anyway? its not like they are a bigger club then us or he will have a bigger budget then us unless some spastic cames along and offers 60m for lennon

the original article did mention Arsenal and City as possible destinations for him also, but that just seemed a bit out there as this moment in time.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is close to agreeing a new long contract with the club.

With only a year left on his current deal and the club sitting in second place in the Premier League, the club are desperate to tie the Irishman down to a five year deal.

After a difficult period in his first season, the Rodgers brand has been clearly stamped on the team who are now heading for a Champions League campaign next term.

Under his management Daniel Sturridge has emerged as a big favourite to lead the England attack in Brazil next summer and club bosses have been deeply impressed with his handling of the Luis Suarez.

The team are now producing a brand of football belived to be in the best Anfield traditions

As a result SportsDirect News understands that a series intensive talks with the owners Fenway Sports Group have been underway for several weeks.

Chairman Tom Werner is determined to hold onto the the 41 year old manager who is now becoming one of the most admired in the country.

A source told us exclusively: "My understanding is that Brendan is close to agreeing a new deal.

"I believe the club may want to make it a longer term five year agreement and are hoping it can be sorted over the next few weeks."

The club are acutely aware that we are heading into the sacking season and that Tottenham Hotspur could be in the market for Rodgers if results don't improve at White Hart Lane.

Where does it say he wants to leave? Don't be so childish abc

The word IF!!!!!

I said

I don’t like longterm contracts it induces complacency. If he is being successful with us and we’re then playing at the highest level, why would he want to leave? If it’s for money, we should be prepared to increase that in line with market rates for the most successful clubs anyway. Any such move by LFC now would seem to be based on an irrational fear in my view.
