I have a sneaky feeling that you're giving Rodgers your full support just to stir up debate....possibly even wind people up?. Whilst there is a very small amount of 'value' in keeping him, your persistent defence of him regardless of widespread dissatisfaction and any damning evidence against him, is highly suspicious. I'm sure you're having fun though..

Don't worry EMP the vast majority of it was still lies and garbage.

"Rodgers has shown when given world class resources (Suarez, Sturridge) he can manage a successful team."
Surely this should be changed to even with a world class player he can't win anything?
Dunno about manage a successful team either, what about the defence?
So before the season we were hoping for 4th, Rodgers delivers 2nd. How is that not a successful season? How did we do in the cups? What benefit did getting CL really have? Still 0 trophies.

I give everybody a chance and judge them on football nothing else. Rodger deserves another season.

"If his name was Rafa or Jurgen and he had just finished 6th, none of you would be questioning his position."
If any of those inidividuals spent circa £200m, had three years at the club to progress and then ended up finishing 6th, their position would be questioned also. Rafa was a prime example.

Rodgers has had a difficult season in charge which culminated in a 6-1 loss to Stoke. Some fans have turned on him, there are suggestions that FSG were responsible for the sacking of Rodgers' right hand men and the rumours of Klopp replacing him show no signs of letting up. All whilst this has gone on there has been little support or empathy from anybody - the club or supporters.
It would break most managers. Most managers would have already left. Benitez would have already packed his bags and on the plane to the next club where the owners gave him a barrel of money to spend. Kenny would have resigned. Not Rodgers though. Through thick and thin, he has stayed loyal and dedicated to us. He has shown his courageous mentality to still be in his position as manager.
Top managers in my eyes are prepared to get their reputations muddied. Rodgers may be a 'yes' man, but this is good. In every other industry people have to work under constraints, whether that be monetary or certain policies employers prescribe to their staff. Football is no different. It is good that Rodgers is doing his best for the cause under the constraints set out by FSG. Most managers would walk out and protect their reputation. So while managers come and go, attracted to bigger budgets and control from other clubs, Rodgers maintains his loyalty to Liverpool. And what does he get for it: criticism and abuse.
Rodgers has shown when given world class resources (Suarez, Sturridge) he can manage a successful team. And even despite a disappointing season largely affected by the quantity of personnel brought in, we have shown promise if not the consistency to achieve top 4. Torres had an excectational year or two at Liverpool, went on the wane and left when it got tough. He is treated like royalty now. Rodgers has an exceptional year and then suffers one disappointing season and is treated with disdain.
You all seem to idolise Rafa. One call from Madrid and he would have gone. Similar would happen with Klopp. None of these managers love the club at all like you think they do.
Rodgers has shown enough promise for another season in charge. If his name was Rafa or Jurgen and he had just finished 6th, none of you would be questioning his position.
Superficial fans should stop basing their opinion on how someone looks, their nationality or their personality or any other similarly pathetic excuse to dislike a manager and actually give their opinions on football based on football. Here is an abridged version of your post. He is recently divorced and his ex-wife is holding out for maintenance. He will suffer any indignity in order to ensure that he receives his full compensation when he is eventually sacked So you basing your opinion on his private life not football. typical. It's not his private life, it's in the public domain. The Teeth Thief loves the limelight almost as much as he loves himself.
