Most of us probably wish him well even though we're glad to see the back of him. He showed that he has 'some' qualities, and is a 'reasonable' manager not a great manager.

So what next for him? Despite the 'humble' facade, he's clearly an egotistical man. In reality, he's probably worthy of a team whose ambitions fall somewhere between premier league survival and top half finish. But would he consider taking over a bottom half club after managing Liverpool? Would his ego allow that? We know he's been learning spanish - presumably he's not holding out for Madrid(!), so where is his next likely destination?

Brendan is capable of managing any club in the Prem outside the top 4.

Because of the restrictions he had to work within he wasn't an outright success or failure.

I would love him to manage England one day.

If he can rebuild his reputation to the level it was at the end of the 2013-14 season at say a decent Spanish team and then he might get a top job again.

He's good enough to manage any PL team outside the top 4 but needs to go to Spain to rebuilt his reputation? Don't get the logic.
Anyway, he's off on holiday. Who knows when he gets back, there'll be a couple of PL teams looking for managers.

He'll get a decent job again. Probably not a top job to start with but you never know.

There's no obvious PL teams that are struggling right now which he could improve.

Current options:

Go abroad - unlikely
Job in the championship - his ego wouldn't allow it
Sunderland - no chance
Sign on for a few months and wait for an average EPL club...


My money is on the latter.

Yes follow Moyes or go on a sabbatical.

Or he could be the next England manager. Roy Hodgson won the LMA manager of the year, got sacked by LFC and got the England job. Maybe Rodgers will follow the same path albeit not in exact starting sequence.
