I see Matt Crooks looks like he's for the off from Sevco.

Pretty sure BFDJ heralded him as the saviour at one point.

Ho-hum.
BFDJ..... Once said he's the new Alan Hansen...... Maybe he's good at golf.....

That moron does the same every season. He picks a name from the youths/reserves and runs with it all season even if hes never seen them play. Remember he did it with the lad Tom Walsh aswell, he had him down as the saviour the new Jinky and Henderson with a wee bit of George Best rolled into one.

Heard a really hurting hun on SSB last night - I think he's tried it before - basically saying Brendan is a duff manager and how we'll all be dancing to another tune when he nose dives, just like the fat dutchman did back in the day at the other place.

Keevins nicely summed it up in two words "sour grapes"!

I have a big Liverpool supporting mate who seems to have the same impression of Brendan or Brodge as he calls him :suspect:

He keeps saying he was found out at Liverpool and that once the chips were down he couldn't find away out.

Not that I really care what he says.

think a lot of Rodgers time at Liverpool can be defined by the presence of Luis Suarez. That guy was amazing himself and how he brought the best out of those around him. After he left, Liverpool struggled and the pressure got to Rodgers a bit.
I remember him saying he wasn't a big name in football or a significant ex-player so he had to make a name for himself and develop 'Brand Brendan' in order to do so. This is where the much admired (and mocked) philospophy came to the fore. Also, the source of the David Brent comparisons and about a million paddy power memes :lol: :lol: :lol:

It would be unfair to say it was all down to Suarez but clearly he was very key and they got closer to winning the league that season than any previous for a long time.

However, that is all in the past and it is clear that he has matured as a manager and is constantly improving. He has barely put a foot wrong at Celtic, clearly inspires everyone around him and really gets how much Celtic means to all of us and how privileged a position he is in. He is already inspiring previously struggling players (e.g. Brown, Armstrong, Forrest) to play our of their skins and the additions to the squad could hardly have went any better. His footballing intelligence is clear to see and has made the players raise a level at the right time, so many times now.

Brendan, we salute you! You are the greatest thorn in Sevco's side right now and long may it continue! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The thing with BR and Liverpool as that under his tenure they finally became a consistent top team that could compete with Man U, Arsenal and the money-rich clubs.

Up until then Liverpool had been finishing at best in 6th place and more often lower than that.

It's very easy for their fans to forget the impact he had on changing that club, as well as how the fans viewed their own club and how the wider world viewed Liverpool. He returned them to a position where they hadn't been for the best part of a decade and gave them a platform to build upon.

It's also very easy to heap praise upon Suarez, but their are 10 other players on the pitch who need managed as well as a squad of 20+ to keep happy. Sure, Suarez won a lot of points, but Rodgers had as big an impact if not bigger on all other matters that season.

I don't think Rodgers had as much say in player acquisition at Liverpool than he would have liked. He lost Suarez and then Sturridge was injured. Liverpool were short of a striker and rushed to sign a Balotelli. Had it solely been down to Rodgers I don't think Balotelli would have been signed although I do think Rodgers thought he could get more out of him than he did. Stephen Gerrard's career was also coming to an end and Rodgers had to manage that and appease a support that we're expecting the club to push on from the the success of the previous season. The Liverpool fans blamed Rodgers for a lot of their problems but a lot of it was outside of his control, he was a better manager than they gave him credit for.

Yeah, it was a transfer committee.

Probably the reason why he asked for full control before agreeing to manage us.

What manager don't a support turn on to an extent when it starts to go wrong? Surely that's what happens to most if not all of them? Rodgers is doing a fantastic job at present. He'll continue to improve the team as best he can. At that point, one of two things will happen. He'll either get a job offer from elsewhere, or he'll be sacked for whatever reason. Only rangers don't sack their managers you see. They drown them, but they don't sack them,

Apart from the ones relieved of their management duties.

Brendan did as well as he could at Liverpool and maybe it was too much for him at the end. The good news for us is we get the benefit of his experience from that tough period.

There certainly seems to be an element of the Liverpool support who like to talk about what Rodgers could not handle and how he couldn't pick himself up. Given the bitter way they like to talk about the man who got them closest to the title in 26 years, it would suggest they couldn't handle it either. He tried real hard and he just failed. There are some who clearly resent him for not being quite good enough...and they can frankly take a flying eff tae themselves.

As for the 'it was all down to Suarez' guff they can shove that too. The man himself credits Brendan with bringing out the best in him.

He is at the club he supported and he knows what is expected among his own. He might have tried too hard to fit in at Liverpool, he naturally fits in here.

The zombie was correct in his initial assertion but Flanders was able to deflect him by answering a different question.....

He was going on about how Advocaat was the best thing since sliced bread and then along came O'Neill and he was done in 18 months. Flanders then turned it into 'You're just hoping Rodgers will leave....sour grapes' but should have taken the parallel provided and run it to it's logical conclusion which is that Sevco can get their own O'Neill and make Brendan look like a patsy.

No matter how good O'Neill was as a man manager, the backing he got from the board was immense.... The Evil Genius, Joos, Thommo and Didier signed by September, Douglas in October and Lenny in December...total cost £14 million. This was on a turnover of under £40 million. Our net spend that year was over £8 million which has never really been beaten and our debt was £30 million......The players we signed were, to a man, EPL quality. They're bringing in has-beens, never-weres and never-will-bes in a fervent hope that lightning will strike. The problem is that as soon as someone plays one good game for them, the SMSM hail them as the new Messi.....they demand a new contract (Waggsy, Tavvsy etc.).....threaten to leave if they don't get it. Then when Sevco give them the new contract, they relax and think they've made it. The problem is selling them then becomes a problem as they're a £10 million superstar who expects £60k a week. If a player is on less than £1k a week and starts playing well in the SPL, a Championship club can take a punt on him for a million and offer him £4k a week over 4 years.....if he's a dud, they've lost less than 2 mil, if he's a winner, they're quids in.

If a player is on £10k plus a week, the only way for them to go is EPL so the EPL expect a certain standard, European experience, international caps......how can Sevco's current crop meet those standards? If Wanyama hadn't bossed Barca, would we have got £10 million.....Van Dijk? Would Moussa be getting the attention he is if he'd banged in 20 goals against SPL fodder and drawn a blank in the CL? Did Leigh get linked with moves to the EPL based on SPL exploits last season?

Not to mention O'Neill inherited Larsson, Lubo, Mjallby, Lambert, McNamara, Boyd and Petrov. Stupid hun.
