31st May 2012,
It looks like Brendan Rodgers is going to be the man to replace the king at helm of the Anfield hot seat. I personally have mixed feelings about this appointment. The positive side of this appointment is that I preferred him to Roberto Martinez, as his Swansea side play a good brand of football and have established themselves in the Premier league. This style of football would definitely help bring back the pass and move style that Liverpool were famous for and also play possession football at the same time. This is what excites me the most and to see what he can do with a more talented group of players (no offence to Swansea). He should have a bigger transfer budget than Swansea to attract some players, which would be very handy for him as he should (and hopefully) get better results.
While Martinez may also have good footballing philosophies, however his Wigan side only just escaped relegation again for second year running, is being hailed for this success. But I don’t see what the deal was as it was their own fault that they were in relegation zone in the first place. For that reason I didn’t understand the reason why he was the favourite for the Liverpool job for so long until a couple of days ago, when Rodgers came back into the fold.
But I feel that we may have missed out on bringing a big name manager to get Liverpool back on track, such as Guardiola or even Andres-Villa Boas. It would have also made the sacking of Daglish more justifiable.
However I do feel that Brendon Rodgers can do a good job at Liverpool, with the help and backing of the players, the fans and whoever else FSG decide to bring on board.
Bring on next season.
