Credit to Callaghan too who, through the quality of his research and postings, single-handedly changed the minds of quite a few RAWKites, making them re-appraise their views on BR.

In fact, his posting were so clever, so persuasive that one might think that:

Regardless, good job Callaghan!!!

One things for sure anyway, with £9m paid to KD in severance and £5m paid to Swansea for compensation, anyone who says we've gone for the cheap option is a moron.

I thought KD turned down his severance?

Just watching SSN and I started spontaneously clapping the TV when the showed a picture of our new manager, regardless of his past (that looks very good by the way) this is the kind of support he can expect now he's our manager.

I was one of those who wanted Rafa back but, I´m happy enough with BR if it wasn´t to be. That write up by Paul Tomkins was boss, makes for an exciting future, let´s hope he can pull it off.
Welcome to Liverpool Football Club Brendan, YNWA!

Have a feeling this fella is going to be a very good choice.

Out of him, AVB & Martinez, I'd take Rodgers everyday of the week.

Really? that's the first i'd heard about it, but then i do work and don't have all the time in the world to read everything that happens. Don't suppose you have a source on that do you?

Oh and I forgot to welcome Brendan!

Welcome Brendan! Made up to have a local lad (where I'm from!) in charge of the club. I hope he gets full support now.

Austin Powers · « **Reply #170 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:12:03 pm »

I think I'm interested rather than excited.
I'm looking forward to seeing football played 'the right way', hopefully it'll be successful too.
Patience has to be the key with this choice, he has my backing.

Cid · « **Reply #171 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:12:40 pm »

I actually think rodgers is an underwhelming choice and I fear for the future. Having said that I originally thought Roy would do well here so hopefully I'll be dead wrong again.

Whatever an individual's stance on the politics of the past 5 years+ at the club, this is undoubtedly an exciting appointment for us.
If the results match the style of his football then we will all be happy.
So much has happened that has divided us including stuff that still hurts now. But this is a genuinely clean slate.
Let's all get behind him and go forward as one.

Lobanovsky · « **Reply #174 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:17:04 pm »

Talked two weeks ago with friends that I rather take Brendan than Martinez just because the style of play for the last season has been a lot better from Brendan's Swansea. I really didn't try to find articles to support my beliefs but basicly everything posted on the first page is brilliant. Brendan will be succesfull and we will be back at top4 really soon and proply with even minimal investing. I really do believe we have enough quality and intelligence to implement the pressing and passing par a central midfielder and players replacing Kuyt and Maxi if needed.

RedBlakey · « **Reply #175 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:18:10 pm »

Welcome Brendan.

Seems like a clued up guy with a great passion for the game.

High hopes that he's going to get us playing some good looking football and make Anfield an intimidating place to come again.

I want teams to come to Anfield and know they're gonna have to play out of their skins to get even a point cos we're gonna be allover them like a rash from kick off.

Massive gamble from FSG, hope it pays off and they give him the proper resources required to get us back into the top 4 and eventually challenging for the title.

Fáilte Brendan.

agreed but it was always gonna be young manager

Well they scared me with Martinez so Rogers is somewhat of a relief, I'm thinking to myself it could have been worse. Good luck Brendan I hope that you last more than a few seasons. I don't have high expectations but I can't wait for the new season to start.

He's younger than me. That can't be right. I feel very old all of a sudden.

Buzzing at the appointment of this man, can go on to become an absolute legend at the club.

hesbighesred · « **Reply #188 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:26:33 pm »

Good luck Brendan. It seems like Rafa and Villas-Boas were never really under consideration, which is odd certainly in the second case, but both of those became who they were thanks to a big club taking a punt on someone much like Brendan Rodgers. His Swansea side have definitely been an interesting watch this season. He is a big risk though, I think, in terms of expecting an instant impact. It will be very interesting to see what sort of remit he's got the job under. Is he expected to get into the top 4 again straight away, or will we see a change of emphasis, a stripping out of higher earning older players and a huge emphasis on building from the youth ranks?

Either way, we've got the manager in place now, it will be interesting to see what we do in the transfer market.

Scousebeef · « **Reply #189 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:26:37 pm »

My old Dad (he's 69) just said to me on the phone "this all has a bit of a 'deja vous' feeling to it". It reminded him of when they brought Shanks in from Huddersfield back in 59.

That could be an omen! Im willing to give Rodgers 100%. if he is our man now he has my backing all the way!!

Always thought that Benitez aside, he's the right man for us

I really loved watching that Swansea team last season and it's a wonder he made players like Britton, Allen, etc play so well. I'm relishing to watch him implement this system with Lucas, Henderson, Gerrard, etc

Same here. I'm quite happy to see we are going with a young up and coming manager who is tactically sound and has studied the game abroad. This is a great choice. I can't wait to see how BR has us playing come the fall.

I hope that top 4 isn't a priority because I don't think that its realistic no matter who took over. One game at a time and see where we end up next season.

Good luck BR. Gutted Rafa wasn't considered but I feel confident in Rogers that he has the right ideas and actually reminds me of Rafa. Usually when a player is retired early and then goes into management they are pretty keen to prove themselves! Hopefully the return to football discussion not off the field and the glory days!
