rodgers doesn't have a prayer of landing a big job down south while he continues to show such naivety/stubbornness in europe
David Moyes say's hi.

Are we forgetting Rodgers already had a big job which came after his biggest achievement being taken Swansea up from the championship.

I’d actually say Rodgers shares many of the same strengths and weaknesses as Wenger. When their teams play well, they’re capable of brilliance. They are similarly stubborn about sticking by their philosophy, even when a more pragmatic approach might be more advantageous in certain circumstances. I don’t see him as the answer to Arsenal’s current problems. And neither will they.

Yeah but, rightly or wrongly, he’s considered damaged goods after a miserable end to his time at Liverpool. You don’t get sacked by Liverpool and land the Arsenal or Man Utd job a couple of years later. If he stayed down south, he’d have been looking at going back to another Swansea-type job. The challenge of coming here, winning trophies and managing in the Champions League was obviously more appealing.

I think he fancies a go at managing in Spain.

Can't see him being offered a big job in England.

There’s not a chance of Rodgers landing an Arsenal-type job unless he made a huge impact for us in Europe. What he’s doing domestically up here won’t even register with Arsenal’s owners.
That's pretty much my take on it too. Look what Lennon did for us in Europe only for his preferred job at Everton to go elsewhere. By the time he eventually did leave, the CL run had diminished in the memory and the only real option was Bolton.

Rodgers needs a legit, punching well above our weight, European campaign. Qualifying for the group stages won't cut it.
Different situations. Rodgers has a record of managing in England and its a decent record. Lennon didn't have that.
I still have a feeling he will go to Spain next - They would have too take his wee stepdaughter into account on that one re her education,upbringing etc although he obviously has the dosh to send her to an English school over there.

Edit - dave ^^^^ thinks the same and beat me to it. :thumbsup:

The current team doesn't have the backbone to grind out a consistent European campaign.

Very hot and cold.
My take on it too. It will take some decent investment on more than just youngsters we can sell on in the future to be getting back to that level. IMO we should be aiming to replace Dembele and Edouard with another young project, and someone else a lot older and more experienced. Compper is a step in the right direction in defence. It's nice to have a low average squad age, but we should be looking at adding a lot more 24-28 year olds rather than mixing 19-21 year olds with past it diddies like Lustig and De Vries.

Achievements at Celtic just don't register down south.

NL,WGS & MON all had decent results in europe but mattered little to epl employers.

Won't be long till every club in epl has a foreign manager.

His job at Swansea was remarkable . A slip away from winning the English premier league with Liverpool . Then his achievements at Celtic, an undefeated treble , on for a 2nd treble . 2 champions league group stage qualifications. Europe after Christmas. His stock will be high. Naive to think otherwise

His stock is high in comparison to most managers. But the top six clubs in England can attract Champions League winning managers and guys who have won multiple titles in the biggest leagues. If Arsenal ditch Wenger, it’s conceivable they could land someone like Ancelotti or Luis Enrique. Rodgers’ acheivements at winning the treble in Scotland or establishing Swansea as a mid-table EPL club are admirable but they’re not the sort of things that stand out to clubs where money is no object.

My Mrs teaches in an international school in Spain, about a grand a month per child, :cuckoo: and Roque Santa Cruz had a few at the same school.

He’s a proven manager in the English premier league . He almost won it. Something no Liverpool manager since the 80’s has managed . Closer than Benitez Klopp etc . Sky is the limit for our Brendan

The wheels were in motion at Swansea before he took over. Martinez already had developed them into a possession based side.

Brendan continued the development
