rodgers is doing fine, this is a big year for him and for us to see whether or not he is the man to get us where we want to be.
he knows what he has to do and he is doing well with us, no one would have thought we would be where we are now after 3 games and it shows that rodgers is learning.
i wouldnt have been the biggest rodgers fan at all but in his defense he has done nothing to warrant replacing him. chopping and changing managers only slows progress and the fact that we have done so, too often is a big part of the reason, we are, where we are.

Eds - Calm down !! Calm down !!

So let's give FSG credit for absolutely fk all. You seem to conveniently ignore the fact that they could have simply kept a very substantial amount of the money that they allowed Comolli and Kenny to spend, actually it's a bit of a pity they didn't !! Well certainly £55m of it anyway that was squandered on Carroll and Downing who were bought to move the club forward. That didn't quite work did it. 

And if your giving them no credit for the way they have handled Luis then it is pointless debating this any further. Again you miss the point that if they are as bad as you make out they could have sold Luis to Arsenal and kept most of the £40m.

Is it really such a bad thing for a businessman to buy a football club with the shocking thought that he could make a profit in the future?

I sure FSG did not make any promises regarding the ground. After Gillette's "spade in the ground" gaff they have been very careful not to commit themselves with regard to the ground.

Just trying to keep the glass half full mate. I accept that it is not a bed of roses but I also accept that FSG have never claimed to be a registered charity.

On the stadium issue, the last word from the club was they were finalising compulsory purchase orders. Now anyone who has worked with council bureaucracy before will know the timescales of decision making, they ain't fast. Combined with the legal aspect of homeowners refusing to sell, you can see how the problem becomes long and drawn out.

In light of the recent update posted by the club and the fact that things are progressing on the stadium. This  is for you Benny.

It's words - heard words from Owners about new stadiums for decades now. They will be as believable as the last set until they are backed up by actions and actually seeing the building starting. We have been bullshitted before by them so won't believe a word they say until its backed up by actions.

Promising words and hopefully something bears fruit with the stadium development soon, its been a long time in the making

the stadium thing is a sham. We should have 60,000 stadium by now.

Liverpool duo Brendan Rodgers and Daniel Sturridge have been named the Premier League manager and player of the month for August.

The pair have been rewarded for the Reds' 100 per cent start to the season, when they recorded back-to-back 1-0 victories over Stoke City and Aston Villa respectively.

Sturridge netted the winner in both of those games and has since extended his tally to five goals in four matches.

An ongoing groin problem prevented the 24-year-old from joining up with England but he is expected to be part of Rodgers' squad for Monday's trip to Swansea.

Rodgers has guided his side to the top of the Premier League and former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier believes the Northern Irishman is the right manager to bring success back to Anfield.

"I like his philosophy because it goes well with the Liverpool culture," said Houllier. "I like his passing game and also their results this season. They're top of the league and I hope they can stay there for as long as possible.

"I was impressed by their solid resilience and team spirit. When you win 1-0 you can't say the result is easy; you've got to fight and they've showed they're capable of doing that."

 

Positive words there from Monsieur Houllier.

Lets hope these awards are not the kiss of death...

[RED BEERGOGGLES]

Both ,thoroughly merited .

thats what usually happens, it`s f##king eerie the amount of teams who`s form suddenly tanks the moment the manager gets that manager of the month award.
well done to brendan and danny though.
our creative players have struggled a bit early doors so danny has been not only been leading the line but leading the team in terms of carrying the fight to the opposition and he has been doing it amazingly well.

[Hustler 2]

Premature IMO. Will he get manager of the season though? Or a P45 come May 2014.
Its a fine line between success and failure.
