Liverpool are gambling on Brendan Rodgers, says Mark Lawrenson

Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson believes appointing Brendan Rodgers at Anfield is a major gamble.
Rodgers, who led Swansea to 11th place in the Premier League last season, is poised to sign a three-year contract.
"It's a great appointment for him and the biggest gamble the club have taken in a long time," Lawrenson said.
"Liverpool supporters will give him a chance. They will give him time. But if they don't look like finishing anywhere near top four, what do the owners do?"
Rodgers had coaching spells at Reading and Chelsea before taking charge at Watford in November 2008.
Having guided the Hornets to 13th in the Championshp he joined Reading in the summer of 2009 but left the club by mutual consent in December of that year following a string of indifferent results.
He was appointed Swansea boss in the summer of 2010 and they became the first Welsh team to reach the Premier League after beating his old club Reading in the play-off final.
Asked about the 39-year-old's credentials, Lawrenson told the BBC News Channel: "Rodgers has done a great job at Swansea, everyone loves the way they play their football.
"The chance for Brendan to manage a club which is in the top 10 in the country was too much to resist. It's a different challenge for him, the club will be expected to win every game.
"Liverpool spent an awful lot of money last season, there's no doubt they overspent. It's a big job for Rodgers because he'll be responsible for everything as there's no director of football.
"Swansea have lost managers before, Roberto Martinez went to Wigan. They're a very good and well-run football club."

Former Watford chairman Graham Simpson, who gave Rodgers his first managerial job in football, told BBC Radio 5 live:
"Quite a lot has been spoken about Rodgers in the corridors of football. Players have respect for him. When he came to see me, we sat down for three to four hours and he came with his philosophy.
"He brought with him a heavy file which he went through explaining why and how the game should be played.

Alec Chamberlain, who worked as a goalkeeping coach under Rodgers at Watford, told BBC Radio 5 live:
"It's been a fantastic rise for Brendan Rodgers, from his time cutting his teeth in management at Watford to Reading then really finding success at Swansea.
"I thought that Roberto Martinez would have had a very good chance, but Brendan Rodgers has taken Swansea into the Premier League and they've performed so well.
"Everybody has stood up and taken notice this year. All credit to Brendan for the way he's gone about his job there."

Former Liverpool winger John Barnes on BBC Radio 5 live:
"I always say that when you have a philosophy on football, you need the players who can instil that. Are they the type of players who can play the way Rodgers wants them to? They will have to have some adjustment.
"We have to give the situation time to develop. You have to come to a point where you can't keep changing managers year in, year out. It's been 20 years since we have won league.
"We've been chopping and changing. We need to do what is in the best interests of the club, even if that means we don't qualify for the Champions League in the next three years."

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler told paddypower.com:
"For what Brendan Rodgers has achieved at Swansea, he deserves huge respect. He's worked under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea so he knows the score and he's worked with top players.
"The new manager will need to bring in new players again to take Liverpool from a top-eight club to a top-four club. That's going to be really difficult. It's a massive challenge.



Twitter reaction

Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker: "I feel this could be a very shrewd appointment. He totally gets the way the game's evolving."

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen on Twitter: "Brendan Rodgers to Liverpool. Could be a good bit of business. Looking forward to next season's Premier League already!"

QPR midfielder Joey Barton on Twitter: "Brendan Rodgers to LFC! Never seen that coming..."
"He was impressive, he was thoughtful, he was very sincere and he was one of those people who combined technical knowledge with spending his time learning his trade.
"You don't meet too many young managers like that. When he's in the dressing room, people will listen to him but he's not a ranter or raver."

I am on twitter - but unlike you I don't believe everything that is written on there. And I certainly don't use it as a source of information like yourself.

[Roger Red Hat]

We've just got a new manager who is young and will have a young modern perspective on the game and the future of our club. We should be happy.

It's not different views that nark me off Benny/Lakes, it's the comments that write a man off before he's even had his breakfast that do it.

Have your opinion but please please please while in the 'Brendan Rodgers - New Liverpool Manager' thread join the rest of us in welcoming the man and encouraging him. Today is a happy day - leave your doubts and concerns and miserable outlook on the subject out of here.

come on.... big cuddle.

Mr Rodgers, your mission should you choose to accept it, is 'Operation Number 19'.

Good luck Sir!

i am very happy Brendan Rodgers has got the job, I think its going to be exciting times ahead, i wish him luck and unlike some on here i am not saying he is going to fail.

There is no middle is there

Just because people are not jumping from the rafters after the appointment of Rodgers doesn't mean

A. They want him to fail
B. They think he will fail
C. They are writing him off
D. They will be chanting for Rafa within a month.

I'm going to sit and wait and see how he does and cheers and support whilst at the match and hope that through the results and performances he smashes my worries out of the ground.

It's his chance to become a hero right now , time for him to build something great.

Whether you are stupid enough to believe that they wont is another matter.
I have just heard an interview on the radio where a man said we should give him a season and if hes not good enough get rid and bring someone else in. Ive also heard people say that he should be given till christmas. Pathetic, small minded, short term thinking which WILL see us as mid table at best, and relegated at worst.
Now is the time for true fans of LFC to get behind this manager 100% and support him because of we dont we will suffer the consequences. We havent got Rafa, Cappello, Guardiola, Van Gaal, AVB or anyone else. We have got Brendan Rodgers so we had best get used to it pronto and stop Fu*king moaning about shoulda woulda coulda.
The King is dead. Long live King Brenny!

Thommo you will see those people on here as well in a couple of months

The same people who are currently fully behind the Rodgers and claiming the return of the golden age will turn 180 the minute something goes wrong - they did it with Rafa and they did it with Kenny and they will continue doing it because they lack the paitence required to allow a manager to build a team

It's the sad reality of modern day football led by "Champ Manager Internet Fans "
