Not before time
What all of them?
Which one?
The Packers will not be the same without him, Bet McCarthy isn't happy about that.
Where has he gone to? Denver Bronco's?
Ted and buck
He was a dead man walking.
Out of his depth IMO, spunked how much cash on mediocre/crap players ?
Who next.... Ancelotti ?
Predictable - Stevie G to return as player manager apparently.
He was the greatest coach ever before Gerrard's slip though.

To be fair he wasn't in charge of recruitment, that may have been a big part of the problem and why they may struggle to replace him if they don't change that.
It's official then, I get all of my news from here.
Shame, I always thought he had a chance if he could just control the spendy/****ty side of him.
It is official. Liverpool FC website has confirmed it.
It's been coming . I actually quite like the guy and feel a little bit sorry for him. Although he said 'outstanding' far too much. Who next on the Liverpool merry-go-round
A sad day for football, time to start ripping José Mourinho
Saw that Henry clip on Twitter. Very funny. 😆
Excellent! The clip I mean
Please enter Herr Klopp.
Rodgers gone
'Rodgers' is present tense - if he's gone then he's now just 'Rodgered'
Great technician ...as a group ....
Apparently the new manager has to keep the back room staff currently there. Would Klopp want that?
I doubt any of the apparent contenders would accept the transfer committee policy. It's easy to say Rodgers wasted all the cash the club spent but I wonder how many of the players he actually wanted. However - as a coach who claimed he improved players, especially young ones with potential, well I don't see much evidence of that. Nor did his occasional ****tery and ego do him in any favours.
Love that Henry clip.... the greatest French basketball player ever.... even has an irish sport stadium named after him.... the stadium Thierry built 😆
Unfortunately for Liverpool football is moving on and unless there's a rich arab with time and billions to spare it aint going to happen which is a shame.
Bye Brenda
its a shame ... they shouldve given him more time .. I wonder if Jose will be next, there are 2 premiership vacancies on offer already. However isnt pep free at the end of the season?
My tupence would have been Lisa.
However isnt pep free at the end of the season?
He is going to Manchester.....
which one?
Bring back king Kenny!!!! 🙂
I was hoping Rodgers would stay. He's hopeless!
But if Liverpool persevere with their 'transfer comitee'' policy, instead of letting the manager decide which players he wants.... 7th at best
Long may it continue!
City.
He was full of bullshit and for some reason carried on like he was the new messiah. But...
And funnily enough people found him out soon enough.
Pity Real haven't started their manager merry go round yet otherwise Rafa would be free 🙂
I wonder if the decision was influenced by Mourinho being on thin ice and Chelsea potentially snapping up Klopp (that is if Klopp would even be interested in the Liverpool job).
I did think he was more special brew than special one. I guess his dossier didnt highlight the difference.
There is an opening for him at sunderland and possibly newcastle soon so I doubt he will be out for long. Not quite the finished article. I actually prefer big Sam and his equally large database and his last tenure at West Ham put him up in my estimation.
about time too...i actually started to feel sorry for him but then i realised there'll be about 15 million reasons why i shouldnt!!
he should have gone at the end of last season...FSG bankrolled another spending spree in the summer and now a new manager will come in to work with players on big contracts who he may not want at the club!
FSG have dropped a clanger in that sense...
now it seems to be either Klopp or Ancelotti for the role...both seemed to hint at wanting the job.

West Ham's football was appalling to watch for most of his time in charge.

I can't see either of them being particularly happy with the Transfer Committee bollocks that FSG seem to insisted on.

Given the disaster buys in the last 2 years neither can FSG 🙂

its been reported that Klopp said he will consider the role if the transfer committee is scrapped...preferably with a hoof in the slats!
How bad/stupid/wasteful (pick your own if these don't work) has Liverpools transfer policy been ? I don't know anyone who thinks its even half decent but lets try to put it in to perspective by comparing the price Liverpool paid for an average centre back Lovren (£20m) with the cost of Evertons first choice defence.
Howard £3m Baines £6m Stones £3m Jagielka £4m Coleman £0.6m Total £16.6.
And here is another interesting question, how many of Liverpool's defence of 5 would make it in to the Everton team ? Im not 100% sure any of them would, Clyne and Can are both good players but better than Evertons ? Mignolet is on a par with the error prone Howard whose better days are now behind him. Skirtel and who ever they pair him with would not get a look in against Jags and Stones and do not forget Everton have outstanding cover in the very promising Galloway whose fee was not disclosed but was most certainly less than £4m.
Everton are far from perfect overpaying for the likes of Lakaku and McCarthy but Everton, Swansea and Southampton all highlight just how wasteful Liverpool have been and the common denominator with these 3 is the strong relationship between the owner/chairman and the manager and having the nous to walk away from silly deals.
FSG, Ian Ayre and co have so much to learn and to do before Liverpool win another trophy.
I think that Liverpool also have the problem that people know they have money which they're willing to spend so if your negotiation with Everton/Southampton/Swansea's stalling at 6 million you might take the money as they're not going to up the bid whereas with Liverpool you might just need to play hard to get and hope to cash in if they get desperate.
allthepies - MemberWho next.... Ancelotti ?
Better not be, I'm saving up for a DHP
pb - thats a fair assessment. liverpool havent had a decent defender for many years apart from Carragher. Clyne is good and gomez has potential but the rest have been poor. Sakho is very much hit and miss, Skrtl is showing his age now, Toure is past his sell by date, Moreno cant defend and Lovren...the less said about him the better!!
Flanagan is decent but cant get a game when fit and wisdom has been shipped out on loan as has Ilori.
Lallana has been a waste of money and i cant see Joe Allen staying on for much longer now.
trouble is we're stuck with these players, some on very good contracts...who would buy them and still pay them at that rate?? the only way to get rid of them is to sell them for peanuts so the buying club can afford their salaries.
as for Mignolet....he's the goalkeeping equivalent of Lovren!!
Good point about the wages Gonzy, that simply adds insult to the injury so to speak.
One of the biggest challenges any new manager will have is there are far too many Liverpool fans have one eye on the past and whilst I have no wish to dilute the importance of a clubs history - it is history and the mindset needs to be 100% about today and tomorrow.
The job requires a hard nosed outsider who has the strength to ignore all media/luvvy Shankly/Kop nonsense,insist on having 100% control on who gets bought and sold and get all the hangers on like Dagleish,Rush etc out of the system because all the whispering nonsense that goes on simply serves to undermine the managers already very difficult job.
In the final analysis there are very good reasons why Liverpool have only won one trophy in the past 10 years,pissed away a fortune in transfer fees and wages and are going backwards and that is the past and present American owners have never come to terms with how you run a successful premier club and until this lot do or they sell up this mad merry go round will continue its dizzying spin !
