He's hung his neck out. I'm a fan but I predict He'll be gone by x-mas.
Hahahaha so confirmation of the obvious that even Firmino wasn't his choice.
I still can't decide whether it's better for him to succeed or fail. Failure means another wasted season, but success and he hangs on longer and consolidates his power.
In the longer term I think him being fired could well be better.

Bravo bravo. My thoughts exactly.
What lazy bullshit. It sounds like the selective shite that gets posted on here about his signings. So let me get this straight, new to the Premiership and slightly unfit Firmino being on the bench = not a Rodgers signing? "Confirmation" coz Tony Barrett said. Pathetic.
Not if you put more emphasis on proving a point. Moo and Pete are like peas in a pod on that note.
Barrett is reliable, plus it fits. Nothing to do with him being on the bench.
I just think he's a bad manager and will damage the club. If he proves me wrong fine, I don't care. As long as we do well I'm happy.
He's reliable if it suits your point. There were plenty of stories throughout the Summer that the one thing Rodgers got was full control over signings.
I'm not sure.
But it seems pretty obvious. Certainly enough for me to go out on a limb for.

How do you know that?
No, he's just reliable. Possibly not ALWAYS right but enough to be reliable.
I think the story was more that Rodgers had got all his targets. Firmino made me wonder cos he so obviously looled the odd one out. Seems he was the one the committee wanted and could afford once Rodgers got his PL proven dudes in.
His long record of reliability.
So just to clarify, what would you rather see? A successful Liverpool led by Rodgers for the next 10 years or failure leading to Rodgers' dismissal asap?
Evidenced by what?
The former.
It's an educated guess, no more.
Someone on Reddit put this and I don't disagree with much of it.
[article]Each summer has seen a shift in the "hierarchy" between the manager and the committee as a whole.
2013 - committee is very much leading the way. Rodgers gets Kolo Toure to replace Carragher - he's on a free so who the fuck cares - but every other signing is conceivably committee-driven.
2014 - "half and half" between Rodgers and the committee. The Southampton trio are clearly Rodgers' preferred signings, everyone else is committee-driven.
2015 - very Rodgers-driven. Only one signing from outside of English football, and every player fits Rodgers' playing style much more clearly than past transfers.[/article]
Oh get lost. There are a few journos with good links who report accurately. He's one of them. You know that as well as anyone.
If you want to deny that, fine. But that's all the 'evidence' I need.
Which contradicts what you said in a previous post:
"I still can't decide whether it's better for him to succeed or fail. Failure means another wasted season, but success and he hangs on longer and consolidates his power."
Exactly, but it gets bandied around for convenience.
Anyone can see what a BR signing looks like and a TC one does.
The difference is stark and the pattern consistent. It's really kind of tedious to have to explain it at this point.
Your argument kind of fell apart there didn't it?
Because I think that situation would lead to long term decline.
The choice you offered was long term success.
They're, errrrr, different.
Indeed...but you're not sure if you'd prefer a successful Rodgers or an unsuccessful Rodgers. You're not sure. I mean, even the very fact that it's up for debate is a little strange.
Well seeing as it's become necessary to clarify:
I meant success in terms of this season and this season only.
What I'm not sure about is what offers the better chance of longer term success for LFC:
1. Rodgers, say, securing CL football this season, consolidating his power, spending lots more money on his signings and staying on for the foreseeable.
2. A new manager failing to clear up a Rodgers mess and missing out on 4th, but being able to build from next summer on in a new direction.
Is that more acceptable?
