    I'm amazed he lasted as long as he did.

    Thought he would get longer.

    One thing is for sure, another British manager in the prem is about to be replaced by a foreigner.

    Rodgers has made a few incorrect big decisions on his 'step up' and got a little up his own backside. But I'm pretty sure wherever he rocks up next are going to get a good manager.

    It's a shame. Shit club, worst kind of fans. I've yet to meet any Liverpudlian who actually supports them, mainly Londoners or non-English people. Whingey, self-entitled bellends who harp on about their history. I can't wait for the day they get relegated and consigned to history as a club that used to be good but now is supported by complete muppets, alongside Leeds, Forest and Preston. It's no less than they deserve.

    I agree, and the rest of the top 4 or 5 teams were going through changes.

    Losing Suarez was always going to come back and bite Rogers on the Arse

    Never came close to sorting out a decent defence and that's cost him more than anything else. Look at some of the dross he's brought in at the back: Mignolet, Bogdan, Luis Enrique, Manquillo, Moreno, Lovren, Sakho, Toure, Aly Cissokho, Tiago Illori. Aside from Clyne and Gomez (who he plays out of position) there's not a single decent player in there, not for a team of Liverpool's level. Even Tim bloody Sherwood didn't want Cissokho! Rodgers was never going to replace Suarez because he's just too good (though Benteke, Balotelli and Lambert hardly fitted the profile) but watching the comedy pinball going on among Liverpool's backline against Everton today three years after he took over was the final straw for me and I don't even care

    His legacy will be the bargain basement £3.5m he paid for an England Under 19 defender in the summer.

    It's fairly easy to look like a great manager when you inherit the best striker in the world. When Suarez left Rogers and Liverpool found their true level.

    Quite true- the more he spent trying to build on that season the worse they got.

    I think Aguero will be gone from the Prem soon, as soon as Barca, Madrid or Bayern come calling.

    I just hope the incoming guy will be as ready to give youngsters a chance, otherwise I can see Joe G being out on loan double quick and we couldn't afford him now.

    The new manager needs to either play Joe at Centre back or send him on loan to a top championship side (that rules out CAFC ) Derby are Liverpool's go to team.
    Playing him at left back can't work, Wenger let Joe have a honeymoon period by not playing Walcott or the Ox against him.

    Honestly can't see a manager with a decent reputation wanting to go Liverpool. Ancelotti has nothing to prove so why take the risk? Kloop seems a character but I think he wants Arsenal.
    Will Liverpool go with another 'up and coming' manager? I think they will end up with Koeman

    Well, they bought the rest of Southampton so why not?

    I don't think Gomez will be sen as a priority for whoever comes in.

    Never as good a manager as he thinks he is, took an instant dislike to him when in some training ground interview a couple of years back he said "its good for English football for Liverpool to be challenging at the top of the league" to which the answer is, no it is not, it is only good for Liverpool fans that is it.

    Hopefully Klopp will not take the job, really like him, shame for him to end up there.

    He lost the plot the moment he bought Balotelli imo.

    I don't think he did.

    Don't worry, the media will continue to tell us that Harry Kane is the best striker in the world.

    Even though there's a championship striker who is better than him

    Do you realise that IF Liverpool FAIL to win the league title this season (which is already highly more than probable) they will have gone longer than Manchester United did when they won their first Premier League in 1993. Man United's previous previous league title win prior to 1993 was 1967 (hence their 1968 European Cup win). So United's gap betwen those two league titles without winning it was 26 years. Liverpool last won the league title in 1990 and if they don't win it this season it means the earliest possible chance for them to win it will be 2017 which will mean it would have 27 years since winning it. During that period when United didn't win the league title, Liverpool won the league title 11 times. Since Liverpool's last league title Man United have won it 13 times but that could go upto 14 seeing as Man United are only 2 points behind the leaders abliet a worse goal difference. Liverpool are 6 points behind with a much worse goal difference.

    I reckon Klopp is all but done already, seems to like Liverpool going by what he's done in the past. Despite what's happened in the past few years I still think Liverpool have the pick of managers, obviously not those currently at top teams but I couldn't see the likes of Ancelotti turning them down.

    I think Rodgers has been hard done by. Liverpool have progressed under him, and they're in transition having lost two irreplaceable world class players in first Suarez and then Gerrard. They needed to spend the Suarez money better, but by all accounts Rodgers was only part of a committee and didn't have the final say.

    He also had Sturridge out on long term injury, twice. I think people need to remember the mess Liverpool were in before Rodgers took over. Whoever comes in now has a very different club to manage, but I think Rodgers deserved more time. He was a hair's breadth away from a title a year ago, for goodness sake - how unrealistic are their expectations?
