Nah, i believe he said something in an interview about not wanting to manage a topclub. He wants to build a club to the top just like he did with Dortmund.
No, he said that his next station as coach does not have to be an absolute top club aka a current European elite club (the big 3 + Chelsea & United). He never ruled them out, but said that there are other exciting projects, which might need help and interest him.

The main reason why a lot of Dortmund supporter (including me) believe that Liverpool is an option for him is, that it is no secret that he has a soft spot for them and the story of bringing an European giant back to his former glory is one that fits him. Most of us also don´t see him in Spain given how much he always emphazised the importance of communication and that a lot can be lost by using translators. It will be either Bayern or an EPL club. Chelsea and even Arsenal are also possibilities, but I don´t see both of their managers being fired soon. With coaching changes it is always a lot about timing and opportunities and in the last interview (the well rested) Klopp did not really seem keen on waiting too long for his next job.

Coming up hills, Rafa, Kenny, ancient civilisations and a proper meltdown

I don't really care if I get ridiculed for saying what I'm about to say, but feck it, I'm going to say it anyway:

I don't feel any allegiance to the majority of posters on here anymore. None. None whatsoever. I'd be lying if I said that the reason I log into RAWK is to converse and debate with my "fellow reds". Truth be told, I honestly don't feel like I have any sort of fellowship with 99% of the people on here, especially the resident self proclaimed experts. The only reason I log in here anymore is to keep in touch with a handful of posters who I interact with in other sections of the forum

Most of you need telling, you're idiots. You're fecking idiots. You could set a fecking clock by some of you given the regularity that you all peddle your bullshit. But alas, I digress. Here's the reason I've ceased giving a feck anymore. I remember the day Rafa was sacked and I remember all of the knob heads on here rejoicing over his departure. I also remember thinking at the time that it was only going to be a matter of time before I finally ran out of fecks to give. Today I relinquished my last feck

I don't have anything against Brendan Rodgers per say, I just can't be arsed listening to the feck wits on here anymore. The same feck wits who backed the decision to sack Rafa, the same decision who's ripple effect has yet to cease permeating the club. It's like ground hog day. It's like a time warp that never ends, with the same people spouting the same shite over and over. The irony is, that most of the idiots on here will never learn. They'll just never fecking learn.

If you've managed to read this post to this final line, and you were one of the people who advocated Rafa's sacking, then I want you to walk to the nearest mirror, look into it, and congratulate yourself on being a gargantuan sized feck wit. Because here we are on the far away hill, and it aint so fecking green, is it? Not that that will stop most of you from persisting in espousing your fecking bullshit.

I'll be ridiculed for it, but so be it

Last few days have happened really fecking fast, and I think it's about time a fee things were clarified.


Firstly, there's nobody left at the club who isn't a total c*nt... Rome wasn't built in a day, but it fell in one. And I'll not have fecking visigoths tell me how I should feel about my empire.

I'd rather lose proud than win gutless. Look at these plastic c*nts with their captain and their money and their empty fecking streets. And tell me that's not us but for the grace of God... And all men are not equal, despite what those who are trodden on tell themselves.
feck it. Brandy has been had, but I know I'm not wrong. Nobody can tell another fan how to be a fan, but they can tell them about being wrong. And this has been wrong.

Not a single person left who isn't a c*nt. What have we fecking done?


fecking visigoths :lol:

Meltdown level = moderate at best, but bonus points for the conspiracy theory. Rodgers has torpedoed the club intentionally to pursue his individual vision of football perfection.

This is a complete disgrace. The way we have been set up is not worthy of Liverpool Football Club. I'd rather we lost trying to play football than playing this way. I'm afraid that Rodgers is setting up the team to further his interests rather than the clubs.

I used to actually like the Sox until Henry bought Liverpool.
Strange that just like Liverpool they have had one big season in the last few years and pretty rubbish otherwise. Also they just replaced their long time general manager so not good news for Rogers

edit: My bad, didn't notice that you mentioned General manager. He wasnt really let go, he decided to quit at the end of the season after he his powers were basically reduced by the new guy Dave Drombowski

But yeah the Sox are a mess.

Yeah but from what I understand it was kind of a way of pushing him out because he was unlikely to except a lesser role

Just realised there's another thing the Red Sox have in common Liverpool besides Henry:

Fans with terrible English

To be fair, the was in a rut.. Had to make some changes, I hear the new chief of baseball operations is a ruthless guy. Might do the Sox some good and bring in some decent pitchers finally

Weird choice by Rodgers today. They have no midfield and mediocre options everywhere in defense except Clyne.

In general, they should just be playing the best football they can and hoping Can, Henderson, Coutinho, Firmino, Benteke can develop chemistry and they can buy a holding midfielder to go with that group.

Similarly, on D, I'd play Gomez at CB and let him get blooded in. Or at least start Sakho and see how he does. And that opens up LB for Moreno, who is also young and talented, even if he is weak and will go to pieces at time defensively.

They might finish 8th instead of 6th, but does that matter? I guess Chelsea being down gives them hope of the top 4, but I don't see it. Not without upgrading Mignolet, at least 1 (probably 2) defenders and finding someone better than Lucas to organize the team, pass the ball and break up attacks.

Today we faced a fecking shite Man Utd team, and somehow we were outclassed. We can talk about good saves and unlucky bounces but at the end of the day they beat us.

Today was fecking pathetic, it wasn't good enough. We are in the 4th year of Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool and it was depressing as feck. No real creativity, an awful midfield, a pitiful formation, a mediocre defence and a nervous keeper. Is that all we have to show? I'm sorry but change needs to happen before it's too late. We are too weak in big games, we are too happy to accept defeat, we're too content with mediocrity.

Fundamentally the club needs to change from top to bottom, or all we'll have to fall back on is memories of our past
This is a result of having too many average players being managed by a clueless manager. He really is excellent at identifying average players and paying over the odds for them. Let's put our quality in perspective, We are an average team in a league that is spiraling down in quality in Europe. How long until we get rid of him and bring in an actual winner/manager?
Reality seems to be dawning

YESHHHHH, We'll GOOO for it.
There was a poster from last year 'Timbo's Goals'. He basically argued with everyone that Rodgers shouldn't be held accountable for last year because they didn't have a striker. He would argue and make up stats about the number of goals scored, mock Balotelli and Lambert, posture a lot and asked everyone to feck off till next season before rating the manager.

RAWK, if you are reading this, say hi to Timbo and lay into him. He's a feckwit. :lol::drool:

Seven deadly sins. Here's an excerpt.

I've been thinking about Rodgers' fatal flaw for a while now as something has not seemed quite right about him to me. I thought that it was hubris, but I now believe that this is only a symptom of a bigger problem.

Now, I'm not a trained psychologist. I do, however, deal with people for a living and believe that I have somewhat of a practical understanding of these things. I think Rodgers' fundamental flaw is VANITY.

Many of Rodgers' behavior and actions can be attributed to his vanity. The key for Rodgers is his desire, nay craving, for recognition and praise. Unfortunately, this has an effect on just about everything he does.

If anyone can find it, we need to get the thread they made when he was given his new contract.

Something like "Brendon Rodgers, best young manager in Britain, and he is all ours, for the next five years!"


He reminds me so much of David O'Leary when Leeds were going down the shitter it's untrue.

I know because I know football and I know Benteke has goals in him and I know Coutinho, Sturridge and Firmino are frickin boss players. We`re gonna be boss in a month or two I have zero doubt about that - the only worry is we don`t mess up too much in the meantime.
