Why do some posters demand unconditional loyalty to BR? Some, myself included, didn't want Kenny sacked, but he was, in short time and to the disappointment of many loyal supporters. Are we expected then to pack up our loyalty and move it over to BR and unpack it all again? What of those that didn't think BR was the man for the job in the first place but have supported the team as any supporter should? Are we allowed to have an opinion against Rodgers? Just wondering like.
As for You'll Never Walk Alone well since it's his job then I'm sure BR wants us to win, but so far as I know he's not a loyal Liverpool supporter, is he? Dalglish is.

My support for the club and the badge is unconditional...not so the manager or the suits or the owner(s).

And even if we dont reach CL - BR still stays, just like Rafa should have stayed when he failed to reach the CL - chopping and changing every 3 years does us nothing

BR's performance last season has earned him imo the chance to continue to being our manager for a good few season yet


So what's stopping Rodgers from getting help from experienced coaches ? Earlier in the season, he goes on live tv  and tells the whole world that he does not need a specialist defensive coach. And you know how he justifies not needing a defensive coach ? ....Well according to him,  he single-handedly made this team score 100  goals the previous season...so he can fix the defensive problems with the current setup. Yes.... he did mention this. 

Why do you think f**k-faced Fergie was so successful ? Why do you think mourinho is so successful ? They surround themselves with competent coaches.

Rodgers surronds himself with average british coaches....seems to be comfortable around british players....He is just so f**king average.

Lets not be fooled by our recent form. Any competent manager would have gotten much much more with Balotelli (yes....if you use him right...he will score goals), Sterling, Coutinho, Skrtel, Sakho, Can, Lucas, Henderson, Lambert, Manquilo, Moreno..... there is a good spine there without sturridge...... but......
.....Rodgers wasted so much time (I know I have repeated this so many times....but it is so ridiculous what transpired earlier in the season) trying to fit Gerrard & Lovern at the expense of team dynamics.

All our momentum last season ...just thrown out of the window. Our performance in the champions league was just scandalous.

For someone who hasn't won anything (did he even win anything as a footballer ?) his ego seems to be so f**king big, it has its own zipcode.

And people have to realise...why is Rodgers disliked by a huge contingent of LFC supporters ? Why are people quick to jump at him ? Most of my close LFC supporting Fans can't really stand Rodgers. They Support the team...but they just can't stand that man. Rodgers should really reflect himself on this issue.

By the way...I am happy we have been winning our last few games.  The defence looks tighter.  So Rodgers deserves some credit. But that doesn't mean he gets a free pass for our horrendous start.

Sacking the King and replacing him with Rodgers is something which I take personally.... I still cannot get over it. I know its not Rodgers fault. Any manager in the world would jump at managing us. But Rodgers does not help himself by doing a David Brent impression every time he gets interviewed.

And you hit the nail on the wall....Rodgers is not a loyal supporter. He was whoring himself to the Spanish press (for the barca job in the near future). Even when he was 1st appointed, he mentioned that he will coach us for a few seasons and move to another team (apparently he thinks one of Europe's top team will head hunt him)....So you can see. He is not loyal. I just can't bring myself to be loyal to Rodgers...

Believe we have now had 8 clean sheets - think its three in a row now - so as a defence Rodgers and his coaches has found a way to make us very strong at the back - why would he need a defensive coach ?

When you spend £20mil on a Cb you will find time to fit him into the team

Gerrard is still one of the most influential players in the squad - every manager has tried to find a way to play him in the team - but now Rodgers has sat him down and said he wont be playing every week

Seems to be comfortable around "British players" - why did he buy so many "non british" players in the summer ?

As for "huge" contingent "disliking" him - i wouldnt know because i havent witnessed this "huge" contingent.

Im sure that no other manager has ever gone from 8th in the league to 2nd in the league in one season - not bad for someone who is average.

Left his wife of many years for a new bird soon after he got the LFC job...seems that loyalty is not his strong trait I would presumed?  :no

That has zero relevance to him managing the club - his personal life has nothing to do with anything.

Well if you want to dismiss the Character and Morals of a man you'd want managing our club you might have a point.

Its his personal life - no one on here knows what was going on with his marriage or why he left his wife

But relationships finish all over the world - doesnt mean they have questionable character or morals.

I can accept that personal life might have little to do with professional work life, perhaps?...but here I am talking about a person's mentality and principle in life, how he make choices, how little success can influence his decision making and loyalty, so please don't twist my statement to fit your agenda. I get it that you're loyal and strongly support BR...that sits fine with me however I don't and I cannot trust his decision making and to a certain extend his tactical footballing ability. I'm not convinced as yet so no amount of your propaganda here will change my mind. I can accept your decision & opinion, so if you don't mind let some of us have our views and opinions too, will that be good?

Thats fine if your judging him on his ability as a football manager and using his footballing decisions - have no issues with that but bringing someones personal life into it and to use it to judge his managerial choices ? No sorry that doesnt sit well at all and certainly not something would expect from Liverpool fans.

Why is his loyality to the club being questioned ? he hasnt gone anywhere - he hasnt looked at another club - he hasnt hidden away - he has taken flak yet is still there.
