Does he play for Glentoran?
I don't know who he plays for now but he was a very talented youngster at Brighton many years ago but they are just one of many, many teams who have given him a chance to prove himself but he has self-destructed everytime. His discipline issues put Joey Barton to shame.........I wouldn't be overly bothered by his opinions.

He sounds like a right prick alri.

Brendan Rodgers agrees deal to become Liverpool manager

By Ben SmithBBC Sport
Brendan Rodgers has agreed a deal to become the new manager of Liverpool Football Club.
The 39-year-old is understood to have signed a three-year contract at Anfield and his appointment is likely to be officially confirmed within 24 hours.
Liverpool will pay between £4m and £5m in compensation to secure the Northern Irishman's services.
Who is Brendan Rodgers?

  • 1973: Born 26 January in Carnlough, Northern Ireland
  • 1987: Begins career as a defender with Ballymena United
  • 1990: Joins Reading as a teenager before being forced to retire through injury. Remains at the Berkshire club in their coaching set-up
  • 2004: Jose Mourinho appoints Rodgers as Chelsea youth-team manager
  • 2006: The Blues promote him to reserve team manager
  • 2008: Joins Watford
  • June 2009: Returns to Reading to replace Steve Coppell
  • December 2009: Leaves by mutual consent after a difficult start
  • July 2010: Returns to management with Swansea
  • May 2011: Guides the Swans to promotion from the Championship via the play-offs
Liverpool sacked former manager Kenny Dalglish on 16 May.
The Reds had finished eighth in the Premier League and were 17 points from a Champions League qualification spot, despite the Reds winning the League Cup andreaching the final of the FA Cup.
In contrast, Rodgers guided his Swansea side to an impressive first season in the top flight, including a 1-0 win over Liverpool on the final day of the season.
After parting ways with Dalglish, Liverpool embarked on an extensive search for a new manager.
The Reds have been linked not only with Rodgers and Martinez but also former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas, ex-England coach Fabio Capello, and Ajax manager Frank de Boer, among others.
The Northern Irishman declined the opportunity to speak to Liverpool about the vacancy 12 days ago, and instead the club's hierarchy sought a meeting with Wigan's Martinez.
Jose Mourinho on Rodgers

"I like everything in him. He is ambitious and does not see football very differently from myself. He is open, likes to learn and likes to communicate"
But it appears Rodgers was always the preferred candidate, despite Wigan chairman Dave Whelan at one point suggesting his manager had been offered the job at Anfield.
Rodgers's managerial career began at Watford in 2008 after coaching spells at Reading and Chelsea.
There followed an unhappy period in charge of Reading but, after hisappointment as Swansea boss in July 2010, Rodgers guided his Welsh side to promotion to the top flight in May 2011, making Swansea the first Welsh team to reach the Premier League.
