He's a Clingon, Lawrenson.... A has been that needed to stick the knife in before he becomes yesterday's pundit

I don't know if anyone else has posted this, and I suppose I should attach a government health warning to this post, but there's actually quite an enjoyable Tribute to Rogers thread on ragcafé. Worth taking a look. I quite like it when the rags take the piss out of the dippers. They deserve each other.

Not read the previous pages and apologies if repeat anything already said. My take on it the board panicked when they heard that Sunderland were after BFS and to ensure they stole a march on their rivals they sacked Brenton so they could get their man. :-)

Actually, a bit more seriously, this is a funny old decision. I mean, why now, specifically? They weren't too bad against Everton, I thought. If they'd taking a caning, or even just been beaten, I could understand it better. True, Mignolet bailed them out at least twice, and they looked pretty bereft of ideas, especially in midfield, but they held their own, pretty much, over the whole match.

I'm obviously not privy to behind the scenes at the bindippers, but I suspect this decision was made long before the actual game against Everton. They wouldn't want to rock the boat right before a derby, but I think it's highly likely that Klopp has given them a 'yes'.

That's a typical Lawrenson piece (although it's more literate than his usual verbal bollocks). He jumps from one thought to another but with no consistency in those thoughts. He says Rodgers shouldn't have been sacked yet gives lots of reasons why he should have been. He says he's a good man manager and all his players like him yet ignores the fact that he publicly hung some out to dry and must have pissed many others off by buying them then ignoring them, loaning them out or playing them in their wrong positions. Even Gerrard was critical of him.He's a Clingon, Lawrenson.... A has been that needed to stick the knife in before he becomes yesterday's pundit
He wasn't sacked because of fan apathy but because he had spent nearly £300m and hadn't moved Liverpool forward in any way. He had one good season where everything came together and you're always going to suffer when you lose a key player like Suarez. Maybe that season was a happy accident or maybe he really did make the whole better than the sum of the parts. But ultimately a manager should decide how he wants his team to play then find the right players to make that work. He couldn't seem to decide how he wanted to play, had a scattergun approach to recruitment then tried to fit players into systems and positions they weren't suited to.

Ultimately, despite blowing his own trumpet he's not managed to win a trophy with Liverpool. They came close to winning the league but have declined since. I don't think that's all Rodgers fault. They refuse to pay high wages and therefore can't compete. A fresh face with new ideas should help them though. He's chopped and changed so much he was looking like a man short on ideas.
Klopp would be a good fit and get the best out of that squad. Whether he wants to go there or not is a different story. If I was Abramovich I'd be thinking carefully about whether sacking Mourinho now would be a good decision... in order to beat Liverpool to Klopp.
If Mourinho wasn't on such high wages he'd already have gone I think.
