Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool -> Celtic -> Leicester)

Not Lucas Leiva @NotLucasLeiva21

Somewhere, in a Blundellsands mansion, a Bootle-born defender is practicing his short passing. Just 9 footballs in next door's garden so far

That's brilliant.

They obviously got beat to the punch so it would be useless for them to act as if they broke it first.

Can't see that stopping them.

Hang on here we go, they're at Anfield. SSN expecting Liverpool and Swansea reps to meet at the Premier League meeting tomorrow and finalise the details.

Reports began circulating late this afternoon that a three-year deal had been agreed but sources at Liverpool told Press Association Sport this was "categorically untrue".

Sky latest:

Rodgers has met with owners in London.

He's now in Swansea speaking to Jenkins.

No deal signed, compensation not agreed although apparently a deal is close.

Chance for talks between Swansea and Liverpool at the Premier League meeting tomorrow.

If I had to choose whether to believe the BBC or Sky, it would be the BBC everytime, Sky Sports know F**k all

Interesting Sky are saying nothing has been signed. Apparently there is a Premier League meeting in London tomorrow with representatives of every club going to be present. They claim a deal may be done then but nothing completed yet.

I trust BBC more than Sky, have to say.

denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance

Only 4 stages to go now mate.

Yes mate.

1 Rafa arrives at airport.

2 Meets John Henry.

3 Signs Deal.

4 Rafa announced new LFC manager

Catch me drift bro 

Neither will the BBC.

Off Topic but..........Iraq War, WMD'S etc etc

Seconded.

The BBC don't get stories like this wrong. Plus, the Anfield Wrap have also confirmed it, even before the BBC did. They called Jen Chang's appointment first, way before the official statement came out.

I will be genuinely amazed if Rodgers somehow isn't our new manager.

Be glad when this thread is finished!

Brendan Rodgers, not my first choice but somehow feel real excitement for next season. He's know for his passing football so let's hope he smashes it !!

"when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton." or maybe Rafa in your case mate.

I wouldn't believe sky too much, they reported chelski had signed Eddie izzard the other day.

Every respectable journalist in the country has stated its a done deal, barring Sky Sports, but then again I did say respectable.

Is every contract, piece of paper and minisucle detail signed and delivered? Probably not. But Brendan Rodgers will soon be the manager of Liverpool Football club, regardless of what Sly Sports are reporting.

Good luck to him.

Well with the press association basically stating that Liverpool have categorically denied Rodgers has signed a three year deal, once again the press are contradicting themselves.

Think I'll wait for something official before rushing out and buying my Rodgers face mask and managers jacket.

just spoken to an ex player he thinks Rodgers is nailed  on.

just a quick note.As a NI lad which team did he support as a boy its either us or them doen the east Lancs.To have a UTD boyhood fan manage us would give that lot a hernia with laughing too much.

Hang on, just watching BBC news channel and guess who is doing the sports broadcast...Claire Rourke!!!! Has she left LFCTV?

He is six years older than me Walton and there are quite a few around this age who support Everton and Arsenal as well.

He had trials for the scumbags when the old soak was there.

One thing: If he doesn't hate them he better start learning!

I think FSG deserve credit  They have never come out and blown things all over the press ala Dave Whelan. I think Rodgers is the better manager between the two and has a confidence about him, perhaps from his Mourinho days. Think this is a good move forward for the club. He must be given the time that Kenny wasn't though and as fans we need to get behind him. He isn't Roy Hodgson!!The only reservation is when teams park the bus at Anfield, will we have enough to break them down with his possession style!
YNWA Brendan Rodgers

All I know about Brendans childhood and teenage years is that he played for a local Irish league club Ballymena United. He moved to Reading at 18 but I think he retired early due to injury and became their Youth manager. Then he went to Chelski with Jose. I'll try find out tho as my Dad works with his sister.

f***in frank rodgers!

If compensation packages are to be believed we've paid about £10.5 - £11.5m to change from Kenny to Brendan so anyone questioning FSG about this must also throw that into the equation. He might well be on less wages but it will take many a year to recoup £11m

So much for the cheap deal story.
