Oh just fuck off with people owing their careers to Chelsea joining the Scousers. Lost all respect I had for Rodgers.

Good Luck to Brendan Rodgers. I hope he picks up where King Kenny left off

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Same!Like the guy and impressed with what he done with Swansea but hope he can keep scumboes crap really...

A somewhat disappointing news it has to be said though I can't be bothered too much about it. And now we have Rodgers as the manager and Steve Clarke as his assistant...

That has so much potential! It really is scary.

Aw shit. Do not like this one bit. Jose as his mentor for a long long time while implementing his own take own progressive modern take on football. This might actually work for Liverpool in a sense if they don't over-burden themselves with lofty expectations of top 4 in a year.

Remember seeing Brendon Rodgers on Goals on Sunday not too long ago. Comes across as very likeable, articulate and knowledgeable of the game. Had the best things to say about Chelsea and what stuck with me was when he mentioned Frank Lampard Sr. drops in often at Cobhalm to engage/talk about the game with the youth players along with Lamps. Also dispelled the reports that he thought taking a manager's job at Chelsea was disruptive for his career by saying he was misquoted and had only the highest regard for the club.

I'd wish him well, always. Hate that he's off to Liverpool, ugh.

Could be a success or ultimately a disaster like the Dalglish-Clarke combo.

Hopefully a diaster! But seeing how well he done with Swansea..not looking forward to them next season

Swansea & Liverpool are totally different kettle of fish, I think. lol Expectation levels will be higher at the latter and it will all come down to what he does in the transfer window really.

Hopefully get the sack around November when theyre mid table -can see the headline now...

Kenny was crap at signings..think they should've kept him just for that!

Be very dissapointing if they do well next season..even more so if they end up with a top 4 finish!

Let's face it, they'll probably be up there again at some point in the future. As of now though, we thought they might challenge for the Top 4 and finish in there under Dalglish this past season but look what happened. All depends on what players they get. IF Rodgers purchases all the average English talents like Dalglish did, then expect another finish outside the Top 4.

Need more great amazing buys like Downing..

[Sheva. 5,373]

Clarke left Liverpool, no?

[Jase 43,479]

Clarke left Liverpool, no?

Liverpool rejected his resignation.

For starters, Rodgers might bring Sigurdsson to Liverpool instead and then maybe Sinclair too, who has previously been linked with them.
