She does get confused in her old age, bless her.
BOOO
My Bluenose mate thinks exactly this. He reckons Rodgers will be gone before pre-season. Pre-pre-season, if you will.
IF Klopp is available and FSG think they can get him, then Rodgers is done. These guys have proven to be fucking ruthless once or twice before, and they won't hesitate to pull the trigger again. Since they met with him for 2-odd hours a few weeks back there has been not one show of public support for him. He's had his two right-hand men cleared out from him, and he's got fuck all public backing. He's still in this gig because FSG are working out a better alternative.
If they can get one, like Klopp, then Rodgers is outta here. If not, then they'll stick with him for another year I'd imagine.
Rodgers' future with us hangs on whether Klopp really wants the job or not in my view.

I'd be more inclined to believe a variation on this theme if it weren't for the signings. That's the one thing I can't account for.
They seem like Rodgers' kind of targets. There's even been reports that Milner wanted assurances he'd be staying.
Yeah but you could proffer an argument to the counter that they're 'free' and therefore don't equate to backing Rodgers' first choice-mega signings. If they go and spend 30M-odd on someone that Rodgers specifically identifies then it's fair to say they're backing him.
There were a few on here that wanted Liverpool to perform badly to justify their dislike of him last season.
Was watching a few interviews and clips of Klopp last night. I was pleasantly surprised with how fluent his English is. I also love how completely honest and unscripted his answers to questions are. He also seems slightly mental - which I like.
It's so obvious that he's exactly what we need just to lift the entire club and get everyone on board again.

But Klopp was available and reportedly interested in the job prior to the meeting with Rodgers. Everything the owners have done suggests Rodgers remains their man. It's their club so they're entitled to make or sanction the changes elsewhere and I really doubt they haven't fired him out of inertia or for the compensation cost or because there are no obvious and available alternatives. They haven't fired him because they still consider him the best man for the job. Now they may be wrong about that and if or when they think they are, they will get rid...but for now...he's it.
I think Ryan could be onto something here..
FSG allegedly make an offer to Klopp...
FSG Make what could be deemed unreasonable demands to Rodgers in the hope he resigns
Rodgers reluctantly accepts
FSG fluster a little and contemplate their next move...
Klopps agent starts making noises about the Liverpool job...
The fact the signings so far are only free transfers does make you think the owners may not be backing him to the hilt...
What's next..??
No public backing at all for Rodger's, which does make you wonder about things a little more..
Yeah possibly, but they were fucking cold when it came to Dalglish, so it wouldn't surprise me if they backed Brodge only to fucking chop him if a better alternative - like Klopp - comes along at any stage.
I just wish the club would make an 'official statement' of what their intentions are.
The fact they haven't again makes you think this is not over yet by any means..
So FSG are calling his bluff? I don't buy that for a minute. If anything, last week was the perect opportunity to force a mutual consent end and to agree a compensation package, instead they've backed him and now run the risk of sacking him and having a big payoff on their hands. The theory just doesn't make sense. They've decided to stick, for now at least.
But there is no official statement to support this..
Given the uncertainty around the club.. Surely if they where to be 100% behind him.. something would of been said.. Like an official statement on the Offal by now..
Well its not over is it? The future of alot of staff and the whole CEO and commitee setup hangs in the balance, so the timing is wrong to speak. You bring in the personnel and then speak, like we should be doing on every front.
They're not going to talk until everything is in place, or they're exposing themselves to questions they might not be ready to answer. Like the future of Ayre, etc.
True... but everything is mere speculation... Nobody knows exactly what is happening....
They've made a statement of intent by not sacking their manager.
None of us really know for certain their modus operandi but I don't think a publicly stated "Rodgers is our man" is their style. As soon as they do that once they'd be under pressure to repeat it after every loss...irrespective of who the manager is. I just don't think they want to get into keeping up a running commentary on the running of the club and from a PR perspective, nor should they.
And anyway, if they made the statement you've suggested you'd all say it was the dreaded 'vote of confidence' which can only mean he's on his way out yadda, yadda, yadda...
I've no confidence whatsoever that FSG will make the right choice manager wise.
Ain't that a fact...albeit a badly punctuated one.
Yeh I get your point.. It's a good job the club is not floated on the stock exchange..
This uncertainty would not be doing them any favours..
They haven't even announced the departures of Pascoe and Marsh officially yet
This can't be a come and get plea if we've had talks. Either he is trying to get interest from another club or we've never spoke to him. Either scenario is bad for the people who want Klopp.
I hadn't thought about the DoF angle tbh.
Klopp wants to work under one (his agent said as much in the interview yesterday), & FSG ideally want one.
Maybe the one they want isn't available yet?
Just a thought like.
I hope it's the case, simply cos otherwise they're playing some kind of silly game where Rodgers may flop & there's no real replacement lined up.

Its the Summer Jono, for 90% of clubs its a period of uncertainty in many respects, whether it be over the future of their manager, star players, etc.. They can't make a statement after every incident, we are clearly restructuring and it'd be PR suicide to announce what they are half way through doing and what they intend to press on with doing, for that to then fall through. People want us to act with integrity and to be ruthless when needed, yet exactly that tactic is now drawing criticism. If it's not one thing it's another.
Can't see the logic behind that. We have talks with Klopp at a preliminary stage but run into a few issues, maybe over a DoF and interest from others, then his agent signals he will accept the club's terms and is ready to talk again.
Something is going on behind the scenes, we are working on a new top-down structure I reckon and if it is a new DoF we may be waiting for him to take his seat with his first decision to be on the manager.
Again I get your point.. I guess people just want some clarity..
After the meeting last week I suppose they where looking for the club to make some sort of announcement..
It does seem strange though that Klopp has spoken in respect of the model FSG have wanted all along..
Maybe this is what is happening.. A DOF model is being brought in for Rodgers to 'reluctantly' work under..
