Apparently he was given a target of 7 points from 9 in the last 3 games otherwise he was out the door.
5 points from those 3 games and he's gone.

A good coach I think but his downfall was not replacing Suarez with the money they got for him. Although I don't know how much that is down to him or whether it was some sort of transfer committee.

In the Premiership, transfer policy is hardly ever down to the manager. Not his fault if the Suarez money was badly spent.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner
I think they might have somebody lined up already to have sacked him now. Draw at Everton not disastrous is it? Actually think it's a shame as was nice to see a modern, progressive British manager doing well a couple of years back with a team playing great football. Was unlucky to lose Sturridge after selling Suarez and don't see how he can be blamed for that. As for not replacing Suarez - how could he have? Seems that the dour football is as much to blame as results, especially the negativity of their performance at Old Trafford a few weeks back. I think he could be a decent England manager at some point in the future.


He changed his style of play. When he first went there he had them playing like his Swansea side, a version of total football but they leaked goals and he reverted to a more traditional approach the following season with defenders defending and players staying in position. The signing of Suarez helped to change the style because the team played to him but it disguised team weaknesses even though they did well in the league. Losing Suarez left a big hole and Rodgers struggled to decide how to fill it because the rest of the squad were never good enough to cope. Sturridge was never going to be the answer with his injuries and Rodger's failure to sign a star and/or to blend a new team has left them weak. Whoever takes over will want to make big changes.

Spot on, having Saurez effectively extended his tenure anyway, without Suarez he would not have lasted anything like this long.

Lots of money went on Ancelotti this week I noticed (none of mine, don't bother with these markets).

It's got to be either Ancelotti or Klopp. I'm guessing the latter.

I don't doubt they've been in dicussions with one or both of them for a week or two.

Klopp would be the bigger gamble though. No experience of the weekly pressure on managers in the Prem, media criticism, demands for instant success at home and in Europe ............. and all this with a squad that needs a complete overhaul.
