    Rodgers handlded Suarez better than Mancini or Mourinho have dealt with big controversial players. Mourinho can't deal with young players at all, good or bad.

    Tevez acted like a bell end in that incident and Mancini treated him accordingly.

    However, he still went on to be a key player in their title winning side the follwoing season, so your point is moot.

    I have a feeling these Balotelli rumours are true.

    So Rodgers wants competition in goal and missed this?

    Yeah, and he very quickly moved away from his argument about handling big name players when he remembered who the **** he was talking about <laugh>

    Your quote;

    Therefore, totally the point <doh>

    Rodgers has achieved knack all in the game yet, to say that he's a better manager is therefore idiotic when faced with the facts #10428.

    Taking Swansea from Championship to 11th in the PL in 2 season's is a big achievement.

    Taking Liverpool from 7th - 2nd in 2 seasons is an achievement.

    I said he's a better manager, not that he's won more trophies and awards.

    If we sign Balotelli, he will be managed better than under any previous manager.

    It's evidently true, get over it <ok>

    Also, it's not completely clear that awards won before managing Balotelli (or another player) matter although they might help with respect (for a manager with an otherwise weak personality), but's it's certain that trophies won AFTER the manager has then been forced to **** off to another club don't matter <ok>

    We must be glutens for punishment if we do sign him, on his day, he's superb, but that day doesn't come around too often!

    the original point was about managing players better - ie handling big ego's etc. Not about who has won the most trophies <doh>
