    Liverpool have announced that Brendan Rogers is their new manager.

    OK Rogers has done a good job at Swansea......but didn't he inherit the nucleus of a good team from their previous successful Manager.

    I find it shows that Liverpool are cutting their cloth to suit their position now as a once great club ( I find that hard to say seeing I cannot stand them) who are accepting that they are not the bees knees anymore.

    A past dynasty that has fallen to having American owners that don't understand what they bought and what was expected of them.

    Kenny Dalglish must have found it hard to be sacked by owners that had no idea of the history that had united Liverpool and Dalglish in the past......so humbling for the proud Scot.

    Man U have the same problem and it might raise it's ugly head one day when Sir Alec Ferguson calls it a day.

    The best league in the world.....owned by foreigners and their huge cheque books....no longer English owned.

    It could be Ted Rodgers for all i care about Liverpool. He will be sacked after a few games if things don't go the way the scousers want. I think he is a silly man leaving Swansea. Time will tell. could have had peter Reid <whistle>

    Ummm that's a bit harsh isn't it Plymborn?

    Rogers has turned Swansea into a team that can actually score a few goals and do things in the Premier League, whereas under Martinez the only tactics were to attempt to bore Championship opposition to death.

    I do agree he has a big task at Liverpool though, despite his successes, to me Benitez did enormous harm at that club by drafting in a disproportionate number of Spanish players who didn't give a **** for the club, typical of football as a whole.

    Yes....your right notDistant......a bit over the top.....but that's what ....Rogers brought to mind.......showing my age with Saturday morning pictures .......at RAF Astra free cinemas when I was A kid.........good old Roy Rogers and Trigger....wholesome Saturday morning Cinema.

    It's Liverpool that I would prefer to see ride off into the sunset forever.......not one of my favourites.
