What can we expect to see formation wise and such?

Worth noting his assistant apparently used to be a coach at our academy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Davies_(footballer)

Degree in sports science. Remember when we used to do that? Worked out rather well.

Why the continuous mention of Puel?

 

It didn't work and he's been moved on.

 

I'm encouraged by what I'm reading about Rodger's assistants that obviously get involved

May I refer you to Nigel Pearson?

[justfoxes]

Bring it on really believe Rodgers will deliver Quality footballjust wondering if he’ll bring in any Celtic top players in the Summer ?

So he failed slightly less in the league than Kenny Dalglish? Don't know a single Liverpool fan that rates him as a manager, and let's just be clear - he's a Mourinho level bellend but without the decade of consistent success to justify that.

They've finished second twice since 01/02... one of them under him. So perhaps a little credit wouldn't go amiss.

 

Again, as you would have said to those who moaned about Puel, this is not a personality competition. Pearson could be a bellend, O'Neill could be a bellend, most good managers tend to be a bit of a cock.

He gave them the highest finish in Premier League history, can’t be that bad.

Are you sure, I didn't think they knew anything about vegetables up there in Scotland?

Do chips count?

[Deeg67]

I wasn't the one who referenced Puel's record in justifying Rodgers' credentials.

Give it a rest mate. He hasn't even been appointed yet. 

[filbertway]

Fair play for getting it sorted quickly, he gets 10 games to assess the squad and then a full summer to make any changes.

 

Hopefully he manages to not annoy/alienate the squad in the next few months or we'll be looking for a new manager before Christmas.

[HankMarvin]

Bet Vardy won’t be dressing as Spiderman and jumping out on Brendan anytime soon.

 

A good appointment, when you think of all the dross we could’ve got 

[Tuna]

Looks like we've worked out who we wanted very quickly and we've gone out and got it done. Remember the weeks that went by when we were looking to replace Pearson and Shakespeare. The mass hysteria of Prekigate anyone?

 

Well done to the club for getting it done quickly. Lets get behind Rodgers and not write him off before he's even started.

What is his record? Lower half championship with Watford, abysmal failure with Reading, did well with Swansea, failure at Liverpool and left a mess that Klopp needed three years to fix, won trophies in a one team league where even Ronny Delia won titles. His record is worse than Puels - who won a French title (stronger league than Scotland) and took teams deep into Europe.

Cor blimey you're a barrel of laughs this morning aren't you.

[David Hankey]

Well, if it's in the 'Sun' it's got to be right!! Seriously though he will be better than Puel.

[Dames]

Hopefully we get the Rodgers of Swansea and not the one of final season Liverpool.

 

You have to remember that Liverpools signings until Klopp came in and demanded control were signed by a DoF and not the manager so its unfair to lay those criticisms solely at Rodgers feet.

 

I feel this is a right step, its an evolution of the work that Puel has began. Hopefully he has better man management skills.

[Nickfosse]

If true, then good luck Brendan. You’ll get my full support as every manager should in my opinion. 

Now please, please, please can we keep a manager for longer than a season and a half. 

We really can’t go on like this in the future, it’s a recipe for disaster in the end.

Apart from Benko, who would we take?

Finally  a manager who actually wants to join us, and giving up on a treble for it. Im happy with that (if true)

It’s not like it’s a real treble.

[jayfox26]

If this happens, ill be happy just to get them back for O'Neill. We need to take one of their best players as well like they did with Lennon. Maybe Forrest would do the job. And then to complete the situation, they need to appoint Peter Taylor, sign Junior Lewis and get relegated. Stuff of dreams that ?

[CosbehFox]

After three years post title of being belittled by opposition fans, 'know your place'....there's a huge chuck of schadenfreude here that we've been ambitious enough to put our balls in the bath for once.

I agreed with much of what you posted about CP but I really don’t see the point of trashing a new appointment without giving them a chance

 

There’s already been to much negativity among the fans for too long

[Babylon]

Surely been promised money to spend as well you'd think, so perhaps we'll splash a bit more than we thought in the summer. I suppose losing so many players frees up a lot of money on wages at least.
