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. Absolutely. He's hear until christmas at a minimum. Likely till season's end at which point fan pressure will cause them to get rid and appoint another nobody. Not if we're in the top 4 or even any where in the top 10 for me. They have no need to replace him while the revenue keeps rolling in. Once that starts dropping, then he'll get the boot. If we are in the top 4 of course not but that's about as likely as him sh!tting gold and buying top players with it. Both would mean he would stay, both have a 0 chance of happening. Being close to the top 4 MIGHT save him. But a distant 5th or below will see them get rid to placate the fans a bit cause most of us are stupid and will start looking forward when he's gone again only to get exactly the same calibre of person.

FSG couldn't give a fukk what the fans want. As long as the money is still being made to the level they want, they'll change nothing.

FSG never come to the matches so why do u think they care what the fans think.

I think the get out plan will be their piece de resistance.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

I don't buy into the popular 'FSG don't care' meme. I think it's a bit facile to think professional sports franchise people don't care - even if it's a trendy sentiment at the moment. If you analyse each off-season under FSG you'll actually see that they keep adjusting their approach - and this off-season is a bit different in that they've finally started signing 30 mil players. I think they started off very naive - made a big mistake with Holy Comoli and the transfer policy of that time - more mistakes with the Suarez money - and perhaps still haven't quite got things right. It's not a case of not caring - it's a case of US sports people trying to shoe-horn their ideas to a foreign sport - then having to re-gig and re-adapt all the time. Yes very sensible analysis and I’d fully agree wit it. But damn it, they’re god damned slow learners, and their adjustments are pitifully incremental. However if they keep going they may well make it yet...just in time to sell up and party, and oh what a party it’s gonna be, for them and for us!

I'm surprised that no one has selected option 1 in the poll. If we get thumped at Stoke on the opening day, I think it'll be disgraceful and extremely difficult for BR to recover, esp given the early fixture list we have.
On the other hand, there's not much we could do about it so soon. The club would become a laughing stock if he was sacked after the first game.

They have already sacked managers who looked like they were too far from getting 4th and they'll do the same again. That's how they will and have been keeping the club ticking over and keep new and old fans slightly interested. They have a strong vested interested in keeping Liverpool knocking on the door of 4th. If Rodgers looks too far, which he will, then they'll replace him at Season's end.
