Brian Reade: "Most Liverpool fans will recognise that Rodgers was a decent man, who embraced the club’s traditions, who did his best, and who oversaw the most exhilarating season since the 1980s, when the Luis Suarez-inspired team almost ended the title famine.
"But results are results. So are empty trophy rooms.
"The question now is whether the owners will admit they were equally to blame for Rodgers’ failure by imposing a clearly unworkable transfer committee system on him?"

I'd question "equally to blame". That suggests he thinks the appointment might have worked without the committee, which I doubt. Someone up to the job of managing LFC would have done better, perhaps a lot better, with the players we've had during Rodgers' time.
Is that the new Harry Potter book?
He's like Dr WHO. He's used to it.
Strange time to sack him when it would've been better at the end of last season.
I think that Chelsea's current situation is possibly part of the impetus that FSG needed to do it now - so that we would at least be able to have the pick of the available "high-end" managers. You can see the Jose sacking train coming down the track if shit doesn't change very, very soon.

I still think the committee helped Rodgers as much as hindered him.
Got him Sturridge and Coutinho, stopped him signing some utter dross, have him loads of cover by the whole opacity of the set up.
He'd have been sacked earlier if people could've seen his total lack of transfer acumen more clearly.

There may be a few but I think sensible fans (most on here) realise that it won't be a cakewalk for the new guy. I think he'll be afforded as much patience as Rodgers initially was.
We don't need Reus, we've got Lallana and Ibe.
Reus in January please
Yep - by then we'll need someone to hang around with Sturridge in the treatment room.
Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool FC will approach German to succeed Rodgers

Jurgen Klopp is the leading candidate to be named as Liverpool’s new manager.
The ECHO understands that the Reds will make an approach to the former Borussia Dortmund boss over the coming days as they seek a successor to Brendan Rodgers,
Carlo Ancelotti and Frank de Boer will also come under consideration but Klopp is viewed as the ideal replacement by Anfield’s hierarchy.
The 48-year-old German has been out of management since he stepped down at Dortmund back in May. He announced that he was taking a sabbatical but has made it known in recent weeks that he’s ready to return and would relish working in the Premier League.
Klopp boasts an impressive CV haven’t won two Bundesliga titles and taken Dortmund to the 2013 Champions League final. The ECHO understands that he’s eager to hold talks with the Reds.
Brendan Rodgers shakes hands with Jurgen Klopp before the Pre Season Friendly match between Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund at Anfield on August 10, 2014
Owners Fenway Sports Group expect to have the new manager in place for the Reds’ next game away to Tottenham on October 17.
Rodgers was sacked an hour after Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Everton at Goodison following a transatlantic phone call with Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon.
In a joint statement, principal owner John W Henry, chairman Tom Werner and Gordon said: “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.
“The search for a new manager is underway and we hope to make an appointment in a decisive and timely manner.”
Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp
Rodgers took over from Kenny Dalglish in June 2012 after a successful spell at Swansea City, who he had got promoted into the Premier League.
In his first season at Anfield the Reds finished seventh but in 2013/14 they kicked on and came within two points of ending the club’s 24-year wait for a 19th top flight title.
Inspired by the brilliance of Luis Suarez, the Reds scored 101 league goals and collected 84 points. However, their hopes of glory were dashed by a home defeat to Chelsea as Manchester City took the silverware.
Following the sale of Suarez to Barcelona, Rodgers’ reign went off the rails.
Last season Liverpool finished sixth and a miserable campaign ended with a humiliating 6-1 defeat at Stoke. FSG kept faith with Rodgers and allowed him to spend £80million on new players but they wielded the axe after a poor return of 12 points from the opening eight games this season.

Yeah like we've not approached him already
That doesn't make any sense.
Who said they signed those two? You make this shit up as you see fit.
Can't believe we might actually get klopp. He seems above our station right now.
I say might, this is clearly happening.
He finished 7th last season so sounds about right.
I just know we're getting all giddy but our hopes will be dashed when they announce someone shit.
No, it's intuition.
Bright people like me are very good at working things out from intuition.
Now relax luvvie.
