      I almost wonder if Klopp would actually enjoy and think of the "collegiate" transfer committee system as a positive/alluring feature of the club. As long as he has final say of course. But he seems a very zany, but methodical man who has a commitment to the statistics and I feel that if he's capable of tweaking some of those and enlightening the "board" behind the scenes that makes these decisions on what is actually a significant set of numbers to base a player's potential on - we may see success in that system.

      The reason that I get that sense from him is that there's an interview from last year where he's discussing Dortmund's struggles and he mentions the exact number of kilometers that his side averaged over their five straight Bundesliga losses and how that compares to his opponents and then goes on to say the fact that his side lost those games is difficult and he almost seems shocked even as he's reciting it that his side managed to lose those games.

      Me.

      He never said a bad word about us. Always handled himself in a professional manner and had some wit about him. He gave us a season of complete and utter brilliance, one that i haven't experienced before.

      It's a shame it didn't work out because he had the personality to be a great here. He had the right ideas overall but he just couldn't execute it.

      If that's how you treat people that have done no wrong to you or even met you...F**k me.

      Personally, i prefer Klopp but it seems both managers have a genuine interest in the job which has kind of re-assured me as to our percieved standing amongst the european heavyweights and further enhanced my view that Brendan had minimum attraction to possible transfer targets. Im by no means a Rodgers fan but i thank him and wish him well. I really cant see how the signing of either Klopp or Ancellotti will not massively improve our pulling power when it comes to signings and judging by a lot of reliable sources it seems Klopp is the likely appointment. If the transfer committee is abolished or a structure could be put in place where as the manager gets the players HE wants i strongly believe we could be in for something special over the next couple of seasons. :kop5cf8koxp6:

      .

      I'm glad you're in the minority. I see far greater gratitude and best wishes across Liverpool boards towards Rodgers.

      Thank god Liverpool is not identified with fans like yourself as you're a f**king disgrace and embarrassment.

      Is anybody else surprised that the contract is only for 3 years...? When you get your hands on a manager like Klopp I would have expected a minimum of 4 years.

      He never said a bad word about us. Always handled himself in a professional manner and had some wit about him.

      mate that's like saying a bloke who is banging your wife is really nice because he is always polite when he sees you.

      Rodgers may have "said the right things" but on what planet is that any sort of meaningful way to judge a manager?  while he was "saying the right things," he was systematically dragging our club down farther and farther into mid-table mediocrity.  Tony Barrett just wrote yesterday in an article that Rodgers tried to move for Ashley Williams over Sakho, Clint Dempsey over Sturridge, and for Ryan Bertrand!!  the committee we all condemn, f**king hell, thank god they were there to stop him doing it!

      Almost every step of the way he was undermining the traditions and history of the club.  By throwing in the towel before the game even started at Real Madrid and in the process spitting in the faces of the traveling supporters who for years had gone without those exciting nights.  Or how about when he sat on his arse the entire first half while we went down 0-5 before halftime vs. Stoke.  Make a substitution, change the formation, do SOMETHING.  No, he just sat and watched.  Why?  because the man never got that he was at a big club.  You don't go to a big club and say "I want Borini, Allen, Dempsey and Sigurdsson."  f**king hell.

      Wow, he said the right things.  Good for him.  Behind the scenes though and on the pitch he was doing the exact opposite---slowly dragging us down and turning us into the next Aston Villa.

      but yea, he said the right things, so who cares about that football rubbish, what matters is what he said in the press conferences.

      I'll assume that you must be part of the transfer committee then Fed, since you know for sure what players Rodgers wanted!

      I think it's pretty obvious which players he wanted.  Do you really think he pulled names randomly out of a hat and it just so happened that they were Borini and Allen etc, players he'd worked with for years, who just happened to play for clubs he worked for etc....

      Do you think it's really hard to figure out which one was Rodgers' signing between Lovren and Sakho, when one plays almost flawlessly and yet still got benched for the other, who looked like a clown each time he was on the pitch....

      Come on.  Wake up.  The writing was on the wall.

      sh*t End forum with your fellow racist Chavs is the place for you.

      Anyway, Melissa Reddy wrote this on Anfield Wrap ( y'know that site run by real Liverpool fans who respect our managers....):

      "Last year, the manager heard that a young employee at the club — not one in his sphere of Melwood — was undergoing life-changing surgery. The night before the patient-to-be was due into hospital to prepare for the operation, he received a phone call off Rodgers, who encouraged him to be brave and think not of the procedure, but of the betterment that would follow it. It touched him, and even now, the lad cannot fully articulate how much that gesture from the boss meant to him."

      What a total c**t of a man Brendan was.

      Brendan Rodgers was not hired to be a nice bloke and he wasn't sacked because he wasn't a nice bloke. 

      He was hired to take us back where we belong.  He failed.  Miserably.

      It's a very touching story, I've seen a few of those over the last day or so, like how he helped out Henderson's father when he was diagnosed with cancer.  He seems like a decent bloke.

      But what does that have to do with the mediocre rubbish he signed, tried to sign,and continually played?

      Do you think FSG should have said "maybe we shouldn't sack him, because he's a nice bloke."  Don't be naive.  The gestures he made are nice and even moving, but they have nothing to do with football.

      Tell me what players he didn't want ? Exactly. You're just making assumptions.

      He clearly wanted players like Lovren, Borini, Allen, Benteke, Firmino, Lallana, Lambert and he failed to make a good use of them, while some of them are utter rubbish.

      I have never seen so many footballers form drop off so badly after joining a new club. I would say Sturridge and Suarez were the only exceptions to the rule.
