Yeah, the fuckers!
A bloke in work once said to me about a piece of software; "the fucking thing's fucking fucked". I remember thinking at the time, "that's great fucking swearing, hats off".
And he smoked as well!

With a few quality additions on the playing side, i'll be really looking forward to going to Anfield next season compared to last(fair enough, no-one made me go).
Not be expecting miracles but i expect to see nice football being played, a system, and a pattern of play that can win games.
Rodgers wasn't my first choice by any means. Klopp or Rafa was my preference but Rodger's is a impressive Manager and i can see him working well with Steve Clarke who were obv together at Chelsea.

I still don't see Clarke rubbing his hands together and thinking, 'Great, someone who worked under me is now my boss - progress!'
Meh, i'm he'll get over it for the Club's sake. Rodgers said before our final game of season at Swansea that he's in regular contact with Clarke. Really can't see there being a problem.
bushwhackers?
Apparently he is gash at post match interviews so FSG has to have a media savvy manager? Apparently. Ah but then they could easily appoint Jen Chang to be manager to handle the media. Sorted. FSG should hire me as a consultant.
Really? It would be pretty extraordinary.
I said that and nobody but nobody cared! #mopes off#
LOL Touche... maybe Clarke will be the DOF?
Ha! That was quite good.
Oncy's post about Rodgers a few pages back is spot on.
If we're going down this young managers route I'd really prefer Lambert. I'd even have Martinez ahead of Rodgers.

wonder if they've looked at lambert , at least he knows what it means to play at the top level of the game .
Exactly!
I don't understand why people think it's been a mess. If FSG had been saying any of the stuff that's in the media then maybe the description would be accurate. But they've said nothing other than they are assessing candidates for the position of manager. I'm pretty happy with the way they've gone about it - interview to interview approach aside.
I'd also be pretty happy with Rodgers as I said on about page 100. Some say he's this years Owen Coyle but you can't deny what he's done for that Swansea team; they're punching well above their weight and have been doing so for two years.
The question of whether he'd be able to work under Van Gaal is a valid one. The question as to whether anyone could work under Van Gaal is a valid one.
Another question to consider is whether he can get the players at LFC doing the same as Swansea. You've got to be pretty fit to do that and I wonder how open to such a change in philosophy some of the higher profile players at Anfield will be. I know some will say get rid if they don't like it but the reality is that would take the best part of 3 years to sort out which I'm not overly keen on.
Is that genuine?
I said way back that something about Rodgers suggested he was tough enough to take the role where I had doubts about Martinez. Must admit I wasn't sure about Lambert though I'd be happy to see him linked with the role.
Rodgers has taken a cheap team into the Premier League and got them playing more attractive football than any other side in the league. He also seems to have an eye for a player too as some of his signings and loans would demonstrate.
Martinez has taken a Wigan side to 16th three years running (I think) after 3 years of previously finishing higher than that.
At least Rodgers has achieved something.

I'd certainly pick Rodgers ahead of Martinez and i think there's a chance that Rodgers could be the new Messiah. I think I'd marginally pefer Lambert (for reasons I can't quite explain, just a hunch) but I'd be happy with Rodgers and he would be the first LFC management appointee in a long time that I'd actually positively endorse.
They're all a risk though, the thing they all have in common is they play good football, with sides miles away from where we want to be. I do think Rodgers is the pick of the bunch though, and while it's a risk, it's an exciting one because he's young and ambitious and his team has stood up well against the best sides of the country for a fraction of the price.
If Van Gaal is appointed will Rodgers be able to work with him? It is going to be interesting if we can make this structure work. In a perfect world, the DOF/Manager/AM will form a boot room like collective. In reality, there may well be bitching and fucking war.
People keep saying it's not Rodgers team.
That worries me, but then as LvG, or however the DoF is, will be choosing the players, provided they agree on the same footballing principles you'd expect him to able to work with them & get them playing the same brand of football. In theory with greater parts the sum should be greater.

And all right on time for the fly-on-the-wall series !
The difference being that if he hasn't bought the players at this level, and he's dealing with big egos who have played under more established managers with bigger reputations, he's approaching it a completely different way to giving confidence to a ready assembled average side that could just easily be fighting relegation with a different manager.
It'll be interesting, particularly if we get a well known manager as DoF, the issue for me is it just smacks of Houllier/Evans. People said from the off that someone will want the final say and it would cause friction, and it did.
