@dalejohnsonESPN: If Brendan Rodgers goes to Liverpool, then Pep Guardiola has to be favourite for the Swansea job.
@LFCTS: Can say 85% of #LFC fans im seeing on timeline and mentions are quite excited of Brendan Rodgers as new manager. Thats good. Tbh a little excited to see how us playing his philosophy will go, and I dont really want Martinez tbh.
3 year deal for Rodgers apparently. Not really sure what to think, not convinced, but I he has built a solid squad at Swansea and looks to play good football, think he was under Mourinho at some point as youth / reserve boss? Will see how he goes in terms of signings. If this somehow helps us get SigurĂ°sson I will jizz my pants.
I think he'd do well but I don't think hes going to make as big an impact as some fans seem to be thinking. Thats not targeted at you guys, just in general some fans
Yeah well he can't do much worse than we did last season and he's proven to be fairly shrewd in the transfer market which is what we need at this stage.
Jose Mourinho on Rodgers "I like everything in him. He is ambitious and does not see football very differently from myself. He is open, likes to learn and likes to communicate"
Most Liverpool fans want Rafa back or Dalglish brought back, not like many actually want Rodgers/Martinez Yeah thought that he had been under Jose, if he had half the impact Jose had on Chelsea we'd be doing pretty well
Will improve your squad and improve the way you play but I don't think the end result will be anything drastic. Wait and see though.
Wasn't my first choice, in fact, probably not even in my top 5 but I'll back him regardless... Not overly excited about it and not sure if he's good enough to get us back challenging for the top 4. It'll be silly to write him off but they've been a long list of managers that have done well with smaller clubs and failed at a bigger club. Oh well, juat need to see who we get as a DoF now.
Apparently we won't be having one.. Cannot see him having full control, they'll hire a 'Sporting Director' to essentially do the same job imo.
Well I'm on my phone so don't know all the details at the moment... Not sure what to make of no DoF with such an inexperienced manager. However, I fully understand why he wouldn't want one... Martinez to Villa now?
