I don't understand the negative comments here Brendan Rodgers is a big name in football he is doing what most in that position do releasing a book but unlike most he is donating some of the revenue to charity from his local area which gave him his background and gave him the opportunities. Sounds a good thing to me, good on him ! He did like to promote himself, so I guess people are thinking more of the same. I thought he was abit unlucky with Liverpool, he got the job too early, but when offered it, how could he turn it down? it's very rare an up and coming manager gets a top 4 job, usually they go for a big name in World football. He had some of his best players sold from under him, what was brought in was poor, with I suspect not many of them being his choice, like Balotelli. I hope he answers this in his book, could give us a good view of how FSG operate. The 2013/2014 was one of my favourite seasons in the last 25 years, we played open attacking football, with a world class player in Suarez, teams genuinely feared playing us and setup to try and stop us, shame how it ended, but was great while it lasted.

Agreed.
Never posts in here anymore unless it's BR related.
Pathetic imo.

That's true. He was a lit bit too early for the job. He wants to prove a point and shows he is capable but he failed. Somehow I agree with what Brendan said, if you give him the right players he can coach. However, in modern football world, you need to build the squad yourself. I find that he failed to identify who he actually wants and needs. He blames the TC for the recruitments but he had the rights to turn it down when it comes to alternatives. Besides, it is also proved that he couldnt identify the right players himself too. Those Joe Allen/ Borini etc were clearly his signings but they never looked to settle down in the first team. He also failed to attract big names to LFC due to the lack of fame/personalities.

He also managed to b*lls up the defence in a similar manner to what Klopp has done so far.
And that is mainly down to coaching, which he supposedly should be good at.

Celtic took a 7-1 rogering from PSG. And Brenda harps on about how his team is growing, learning and getting better and better.
Wow.Impressive growth indeed.

This is what happens when you play a good opponent without an organized defence (ring any bells?).
They are probably growing along with Brendan's ego.

I was happy the Job went to an up and coming manager like Rodgers although I would rather it went to Martinez at the time and he was the first choice only he turned it down. The reason I say I was happy is that we have now exasusted every avenue of new managers Old Boot Room Roy Evans, Ex Players Dalglish and Souey, best manager over a season Roy Hodgson, best European manager at time Benitez, best technical manager Houllier, flavour of the month character Klopp and none of them have worked. The next one we will be going down the old player route with Gerrard but again that will end in tears after theee or four years due to fan expectancy and because he will be measured against Jose, Pepe and most probably Conte if he is still there.

Well Klopp'o hasn't failed us yet, though tbh I'm not overly impressed thus far. However hope springs eternal, and in football one never truly knows what exactly will happen. We might get both of Naby and VvD in January to gives us a bit of much needed guts and backbone. If we don't get them or some decent alternative in January, then IMO we'll be out of the CL next season and we can then make another run at the title...hope springs eternal!
