....I've just watched his interview and found a transcript of it online. The best bit by a million miles is this:
"People have short memories - the club were in eighth when I arrived".
Yes Brendan. And they are still in eighth despite you spending £300m!!!!!! How can he not understand WHY people want him out?!??! Does he really think that spending £300m without progressing one little bit, is impressive? Pack your bags son. What you don't understand is that we need to spend a load of money to just maintain our position. We are in the top 4 of biggest spenders in the league

What you don't understand is that we need to spend a load of money to just maintain our position. We are in the top 4 of biggest spenders in the league When Kenny took over our squad we were probably on paper about 7th/8th best (if Gerrard stayed fit). We can't expect to get top 4 just because we have had a top 4 spend in the last 3 or 4 years. It is gradual progression. Brendan has took us from 8th to 7th, then to 2nd after Sturridge and Suarez formed a deadly partnership, and then to 6th after losing our star player - still an improvement on the season previous to this. If Kenny had finished 6th it would have been an OK season. Brendan does it and people are calling for him to be sacked. This shows the progress we have made under Brendan's leadership.

Gerrard was not fit under Kenny, in fact he missed half of the season and was recovering in the second half. On top of that Suarez was banned for almost a half of the season after the Evra afair and also showing his finger to the Newcastle fans. We finished 8th because we focussed on the cups after the Arsenal game in early March when we were close to 4th, but lost. Rodgers has been a step backwards for sure. By the way, Kenny was sacked, so there is no valid justification for Rodgers to be still around.

What and Brendan hasn't had Sturridge and Suarez unavailable? It made me laugh when you said he focused on cups. That wasn't the case at all. And if it was he should have been sacked on the spot. The fact that you have to say something like this to justify such a low points tally in the league suggests you are embarrassed by Kenny's league campaign. It didn't work either because we didn't even win the FA cup.

Kenny should absolutely have been sacked - he was a disaster and a PR embarassment.
However, Rodgers is even worse and has spent a lot more money in achieving far less, so he shouldn't take charge of another game for us.

It didn't work either because we didn't even win the FA cup. I don't know if you have the possibilty of watching games, but after the Arsenal home game in early March, it was obvious that we wouldn't qualify for CL and therefore it was meaningless to concentrate on the league. Winning a trophy was the best we could acheive (something Brendan hasn't done so far as much as I know). Rodgers has never even been to a cup final let alone winning one. He is not good enough to lick Kenny boots whether as a player or manager. He is still at the club only because he has no spine and FSG likes it that way. What he has acheieved is to manage mid table fans like you who see it ok for us not to win trophies and out of CL.

I don't know why either you or Vish bother Darcus. The one about arguing with fools and all that.
