Now:

"Great choice. We've got the man we wanted all along"
And "of course we always support our manager"

Textbook stuff.

There may be some fans on here who did not wish for his appointment, perhaps preferring any number of other candidates. Let us make one thing clear: We support our manager. Full stop. If any of you are unable to do that, you will find yourselves looking for another fansite to post on. Liverpool supporters are meant to do things the right way and make no mistake, we will remove persistent whingers, moaners, nostalgists and petty posters from this site without a second thought.

Welcome Brendan, you've a bloody big pair of boots to fill. Good luck and welcome and all the best from us at RAWK
There's no need to slag him off after that warm welcome. Reads like a £#%&!ing threat.

decent manager. young and bold enough to take a risk with his tactics (albeit with a club where he had nothing to lose).

for liverpool though he is a pep gladiola-lite. if they think he is going to bring tiki taka into that team of misfits, they may be disappointed. how long before he abandons his football philosophy for a more pragmatic approach? It's not like he is operating in a low pressure environment - they just sacked a club legend for not finishing in the top 4

Sorry, that's bullshit. Liverpool are actually in a lucky situation right now.

If they can accept that the next 5, 6 or 7 years will be a write off similar to the last two, ie, a league cup win, or an FA Cup win here or there, pick and choose smaller signings that will help to play the way Rodgers wants them to, while overhauling their youth system and produce genuine youth products, they could create a dynasty like United did in the 90s.

It's what United should have been doing since 2005, while we knew we were £#%&!ed financially.

A relegation battle hopefully.

Also get ready for a load of Irish rebel songs 'adapted' for the @#%&!s.

but they just sacked their club legend for exactly this.

Fenway are not in this for seven years of transition. Not a £#%&!ing chance.

By the way, only just noticed Rodgers' CV. Four years of club management experience, during which he was fired by Reading.

Liverpool have done pretty well there

bringing in a manager with a completely different approach and expecting immediate success (as they will) is a recipe for disaster. when rodgers arrived at swansea he took over a team that martinez had already moulded and coached into playing with that style; all he had to do was continue it. it's a different kettle of fish when you've got to build it all from scratch, all the while maintaining (arf) success. they should have a look at what happened with luis enrique at roma tbh.

fwiw i reckon rodgers could do very well if they gave him three years, allowed him to overhaul the back room staff from top to bottom, gave him free rein to sell all the cloggers who control the ball further than leon brittan passes it and didn't get on his back when results weren't great for 18 months. but that's not going to happen, especially with the fat waiter hanging around like a bad smell. if i was rodgers i'd be praying he goes to villa.

God help the poor bastard the first time he says something nice about Frogger whilst Liverpool manager. Or is merely pictured smiling and shaking hands with him.

not a chance in hell. as has been said, anfield puts them miles behind in terms of income and without cl football they'll struggle to maintain commercial income at a competitive level. and there's no chance they'll accept a few lean years, they'll be expecting a cl place at the end of next season.

united are doing exactly what you said: we overhauled the youth set up through rene and have a policy of buying talented youngsters (smalling, jones, hernandez, de gea, this lad powell, maybe clyne etc) while producing genuine youth prospects. pogba and morrison were disappointments but you know there's a load of quality in the reserves compared to what we had 10 years ago, the likes of cole, the keanes, brady etc are real prospects, and that's without mentioning the loanees.

Does David £#%&!ing Fairclough just live outside Anfailed?

The grim @#%&!s are already out in full force. Aldridge stood in the pissing rain claiming Rodgers 'could be the next King'. Why do they need to be a stupid @#%&!ing king?

First fan interviewed today: "well, everyone is inexperienced when they start, arent they?"

FFS they've spent more than we have in the Premier League era

Yeah but it's a point made from a £#%&!ing dreamworld. No manager is gonna get given 6 or 7 years of relative mediocrity to rebuild a club from the ground up and the financial implications of 7 years without CL football would be pretty much devastating. Oh and you have to be sure on top of this that Rodgers is one of the truly great managers to produce the sort of glory predicted after this. I dunno if his 2 years at Swansea are enough to predict this with any certainty.
