If Rodgers wasn’t a manager

[Trumpet]

Listened to a snippet of Matt Piper asking Brendan what he’d be if he hadn’t have got into football management. Brendan said something along the lines of he’d like to be in some sort of management leadership role. That’s got me thinking, what do you think Brendan would be up to in a different life?

 

I’ll get the ball rolling with Regional Sales Manager for Wickes.

He's got pure middle-management energy. The guys who create problems to 'solve' and justify their paychecks.

If he was manager of Wickes, I wouldn’t want my kitchen fitted from that branch

Team building consultant.  Yes they exist.  Yes they are as utterly pointless as they sound.  Stealing a living from companies idiotic enough to get them in.

Thought this would be way below him, but I completely understand the reasoning. 

[Solihullfox]

He’d be giving it the big one to everyone he knows as he is promoted to manager of Aldi’s flagship store having fought his way through the hoops at Poundland

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

He'd own a tanning salon called Brendan's Bronze Centre, verbatim from the man himself

Oh my God, I live in this world and you are bang on.

 

People who invest large amounts of resource into stupid projects that don't fundamentally evolve the business, then spin the results and pocket their bonuses.

 

He's a natural - gives the impression of being in total control, but exudes an untrustworthiness that you can't put your finger on until he throws some junior to the wolves.

 

Says all the right things then laughs about it on the golf course. Claims credit and shifts responsibility.
