Breaking: Liverpool sack Brendan Rodgers

I seriously dont care now. If Rodger starts poorly next season, i mean till november, including things like poor group stage performances in Europa and exit from FA Cup, he should be sacked. For me next season, top 4 and a cup both are needed if he wants to stay here longer.

both his YES-MEN been sacked (Mike Marsh and Colin Pascoe)

Assistant manager and first-coach get fired, but the manager stays, what kind of logic is that? xD

"Brendan, we know it wasn't your fault, it was Pascoe and Marsh, we'll fire them as recognition that things haven't gone well, but we'll keep the one in charge, you."

Very glad those two got sacked. They didn't have the qualifications to be coaching at Liverpool on any level. Rodgers nepotism for these past 3 years has really pissed me off.

I don't know has any club ever done this before, recognise that a change of direction is needed, but sack the coaching staff while keep the guy who has been in charge of them all along.

The positive spin I can put on this is that we hire someone for assistant manager who could potentially become an interim manager if Rodgers is sacked during the season. Pascoe didn't have the credentials to put that kind of pressure on Rodgers. A certain Sami Hyypiä does come to mind, though...

Imagine we get Klopp and Ancelotti to replace Marsh and Pascoe as Brenda's assistance

Ferguson changed his Assistant Manager around Seven times during his time at Man Utd

Fergie changed his assistants himself, the management didn't chop of his right hand men for him as scapegoats as is the case with our situation.

I was actually thinking about this. With the departure of Gerrard, there's none to represent the blood-line of Liverpool. Someone like Hyypia or Carragher may not contribute technically, but they can be a great driving/motivating factor in instilling character among the squad.

I fail to find any report suggesting BR has no hand in the changes. On the contrary reports suggest otherwise.

As if Brenda fired his best friend Pascoe. I'm not going to believe the PR bs reports are suggesting.

Hyypiä actually did a good job as manager of Leverkusen for a while. Which is not such an easy thing to do.
So it's not like he has nothing to show for as a coach and would only be of benefit symbolically, due to his ties to the club.

I'd say he'd surely be able to stop the bleeding in your defense, though I can't see why he would want to subject himself to be bossed by a guy with less gravitas.

I'm NOT saying he or Carragher wouldn't be able to contribute. I'm saying they SURELY be contributing in motivation/discipline (in addition to other aspects).

Now that the dusts have settled (meaning, Rodgers is staying), I’m going to ask the mods/admins to merge these two threads

http://www.goallegacy.net/t37789p90-sky-sports-rodgers-set-to-stay
http://www.goallegacy.net/t37725p270-the-official-rodgers-out-thread

with this one,

http://www.goallegacy.net/t21764p324-rodgers-new-liverpool-manager-bbc

I merged the Rodgers set to stay thread with this one, but the Rodgers out one should stay on it's own as it is an opinion on him.

Ferguson was a special case, there was no question what so ever that he was the right man for the club, so coaching staff changes during his tenure are not comparable to what's happening at our club.

No question whatsoever when he had much worse first three seasons than Rodgers?

We need to stop bringing this fergie failed in his first few seasons crap, were in a different ERA now, clubs and managers don't have that luxury, footballs changed.

With Stevie gone now i would love a Liverpool legend like Cara or Hyppia controlling our defense, FFS that can't *bleep* up any more than Rodgers had and they'll bring back some Real Liverpool DNA back to our club.

Look at our club, our managment, our coaching staff our players, no one is truly liverpool anymore.

We need someone like carra back.

Sunday People - Pako Ayestaran set to return as the new assistant to Brendan Rodgers. Alex Inglethorpe also set to be added to the staff.

Should've given Roy Hodgson 4+ seasons as Fergie did even worse in his first 3 seasons. We potentially missed out on a legendary manager.

Goodness I can't even imagine how absolutely annoying EL Cujo would have been during the Hodgson era.

Btw

Liverpool set to reappoint Pako Ayesteran to coaching staff as Brendan Rodgers' new No2

Spaniard who spent three years at Anfield when Rafa Benitez was boss expected to replace Colin Pascoe after a trophy-winning stint managing in Israel

By Neil Moxley

Liverpool are going back to the future with Rafael Benitez’s old No.2 Pako Ayestaran set to return as the new assistant to Brendan Rodgers, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.

Rodgers has been left without an assistant after his right-hand man Colin Pascoe followed coach Mike Marsh out of the Anfield exit door this week.

And the hot favourite to take over is Spaniard Ayestaran , who worked at the Merseyside giants for three years under the watchful eye of now Real Madrid boss Benitez.

Ayestaran is back in Britain from Israel, where he led Maccabi Tel Aviv to a domestic treble as manager.

He will act as Rodgers’ assistant, with Alex Inglethorpe also set to be added to the first-team coaching staff.

Inglethorpe currently acts as Liverpool’s academy director, but is being tipped to step up alongside Rodgers and Ayestaran.

Remember Pako ffs

So basically Pako replacing Pascoe, and Inglethrope replacing Marsh.

I try to ignore you as much as possible these days, but you flip flop more than anyone I've seen on this site and people are constantly bringing up all the old shit you say and throwing it in your face.

The fact that you can't see the difference between what Hodgson was doing here and what Rodgers has been doing is all that needs to be said. You're more of a fraud than all the others you call "fraud". A fair weather fan at best.

Pako would/should be good. No idea about Inglethrope.

I'm cool with having Pako back, if that were to happen.

Ahhh proof that my posts are totally ignored in the wrath towards BR.

btw, has anyone seen Fahim lately?
