Quoted from TownSNAFU5
Rodgers was often seen as arrogant at Liverpool.  Not the best place to be arrogant. The fans there know how things really are and have not taken to him.  


Oh, please. Liverpool FC fans are as knowledgeable/deluded (delete as applicable!) as the fans of any other club. Rodgers almost won them the title but hasn't done well enough since then and he's certainly spent a heck of a lot of money. The fans wouldn't have minded one jot about his persona if he'd got them in the Champions League each year and won a trophy or two.

Lawrenson's article is strange because, whilst it is fair enough to point out that Rodgers had lost the confidence of the fans, the idea that sitting in silence and walking out early is the way fans should indicate unhappiness with the manager sort of ignores the fact that it is the opposite of what a fan should do. Are they there to support the team or show disapproval for the manager?

Also, Lawrenson's point saying that it was a mistake to let Gerrard leave sort of ignores the fact that he was a passenger for much of his last season with the club. He simply doesn't have the legs to play at that level any longer. Would it really have been good business to spend so much money on wages of somebody who would be not much more than an expensive figurehead? I don't think so.

None ,they just sit in the dark and talk about how good the old one was.

So Klopp gets the job for a mere 5 million a year for three years rising to 7 million if he wins the league or gets a Champs League qualification. That should keep him in Bratwurst.

The mind boggles.
