Well the rumbling must be the twitterati... cos there are no other hard sources that he's out.
Perhaps but clearly the last 12 months are
not acceptable for a club of Liverpool's stature or maybe they are ? The brand is still going strong and the fans are still giving money so maybe all is well ?
That rather depends if you are talking about our 'real' stature, or the 'cloud-cuckoo-land' stature of the club.
We are a club that has reached the CL once in the last 5 years - potential incoming signings see us a reasonable fallback option if a top club doesn't come in for them.
We are the best of the also-rans so finishing 5th is precisely where we should be. You can be disappointed that we're not near the top of the table if you like, but you cannot blame the manager when your unrealistic expectations don't bear fruit.
