Bah. Our chances in the Liverpool fixture have just gone down.
Brendan Rodgers has been sacked as Liverpool manager, the club have announced.
The club’s owner John W Henry, chairman Tom Werner and president Mike Gordon said in a statement:
“We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Brendan Rodgers for the significant contribution he has made to the club and express our gratitude for his hard work and commitment.
“All of us have experienced some wonderful moments with Brendan as manager and we are confident he will enjoy a long career in the game.
“Although this has been a difficult decision, we believe it provides us with the best opportunity for success on the pitch. Ambition and winning are at the heart of what we want to bring to Liverpool and we believe this change gives us the best opportunity to deliver it.
John Barnes is on talkSPORT now moaning that Liverpool cannot buy world class players. Funny. Dalglish managed to land Suarez, and Brendan has spent a quarter of a billion in his time at LFC.
Yes, John. No financial clout whatsoever, but you are correct. Liverpool couldn’t land top players, and I reckon Rodgers was a big part of that.
