KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum When is Judgement Day for BR?

I think we all agree that team performances have to improve this season else either FSG or BR will probably have to go. When do you think we can say we have seen enough?

	Opening day - if we lose
	After 10 games
	Just before the Jan transfer window
	End of the season
	At any time if we lose 3 in a row

Like all but Roy Hodgson, Liverpool managers get until the end of the season, unless, like Roy, he proves himself incapable of meeting clear objectives by Christmas. BR would need to be struggling to compete for fourth for that to happen, but there doesn't need to be a review at that point. He has had the time to build his squad. He has to make them perform.

Less than 10 games if we lose the vast majority of them. I think there will be very little patience at Anfield knowing how good the competition is stacking up to be IF we lose many of our opening fixtures and it's clear the season (league wise) is already a right-off.

And let's be clear- that would be IRRESPECTIVE of whom is manager after 3 years in the job and a boat load of money right through until August closes.

End of season. Why would they keep him when other (better?) options were available, spend all this money just to get rid after a few games?

He's their man. They were unwilling to change their ways to get someone else in who (apparently) wanted the job. They don't need us to finish top 4. The only way he will go is if we're threatened with relegation and that won't happen.

There is some truth in that we fans see things differently to FSG we want success on the pitch every season but FSG its a business it suits them to have rodgers in place particularly as they may be positioning for a sale.

Exactly. As long as they get in what they want in terms of revenue, league position will mean little to them.

End of the season. FSG wouldn't let him spend £80m+ and increase our wage budget by £25 million p.a if his position was so weak that a few bad results could be enough to finish him off.

I think there will be a deafening clamour for action if the season is a write off after 10 games. I'm not sure 'doing nothing' helps FSG that much. Paying off the remainder of BR's contract and installing a new manager is not 'that expensive' - particularly if you believe the squad is already strong enough to compete. I think something like 5 losses and three draws in the first 10 games will force the issue.

Having said, that, thee losses and 5 draws - whilst unacceptable to us, might leave BR relatively safe from the sack.

The media frenzy will reach fever pitch if things go very sour. That may force FSG to act - even if they might prefer to leave their man in post.

Klopp's continued availability makes you wonder they've got the guy on a retainer. The pressure on BR is enormous. If after 10 games, we're in the top 4, he deserves to be allowed further time.

I have a feeling that Klopp will take on a role at a medium sized club somewhere, and then take over at Utd when Van Gaal quits in 2 years. He'll then say that he desperately wanted to work for Liverpool but we dithered and didn't show that we wanted him enough.

ball not kicked in anger yet and some are prediction failure , just unbelievable.
