Rodgers is a good manager. However, good managers don't win major titles consistently. You need to be an excellent manager to be consistently successful in a competitive league such as EPL. His competition in the PL are 4 of the best managers in the world, in the UCL he will have to compete with teams with similar resources and better managers.
His career win record is decent but nothing spectacular. The best he has done in any job is to reach a win %age of 50%, losing more games than drawing in the process (Leaving aside the Celtic job, which lets face it, was a one horse league). Do we really think this guy is the answer? If we appoint him then we will be sitting here in 2 years time with the same anguish, another 200M down the drain. I really don't get the clamour behind this guy as a Man United manager.
This is why I feel like it's the
wrong time to go for Brendan Rodgers.
Why go for Rodgers when your competing with the best managers in the world with Pep, Tuchel, Klopp & Conte as your direct competition?
Rodgers is just going to be under immense pressure and get sacked eventually.
Managers like Klopp and Pep have talked about them leaving their clubs soon for a break/new job. Tuchel & Conte are traditionally short term managers.
I'd rather have the ability to go for Brendan Rodgers during that time when the leagues level of management has gone down a level (like how La Liga's management is average right now). Then Brendan Rodgers can come here and actually try to win something - after all when he came second with Liverpool, that wasn't with all of Pep, Tuchel, Conte and Klopp as his competitors was it?
Getting him now, making him compete with the world's best, only for the people who wanted him here to get fustrsted enough to sack him - will just leave us with one less good homegrown manager we can get in the future when the time comes where the management level has gone down a level.
