I've seen a lot of anger from you guys towards your soon to be former manager. Now I can understand a lot of this given how our fans were over Torres, but can't understand the hatred in itself. This isn't meant to be patronizing, not all of our fans have inflated opinions of our club, but here's some things that amongst your red mist might help you come to terms with the move.

Brendan Rodgers leaves you in a great position. His going leaves you at a point where you are established in the Premiership. If he'd gone last summer i could understand, but if Jenkins gets his replacement right then you're rosy.

Rodgers turned down the initial approach out of respect to the club. Only knowing interest was firm would he talk to us, which suggests he does care for the club a great deal. Imagine you as Swansea fans are managing Norwich (not managing the club you support) and say... Arsenal come along. What would you honestly do? You'd still care about your current club, but if interest was firm you'd want to hear what Arsenal had to say. Look at how he's gone about it compared to Paul Lambert, and we're a much bigger proposition than Villa.

Swansea don't even have training facilities. Liverpool are looking to build a new stadium, will give him millions to spend every year and have a squad of players that fill many national teams. We know we aren't the dream proposition we were a few years ago but that's got to be a great opportunity. Mancini, Ferguson and Wenger could all be there for years. Chelsea is a revolving door. Redknapp is safe for a year or 2 and Tottenham's money has dried up. We're the biggest opportunity in British football for the foreseeable future and there may not an opportunity of this type for a good few years. It's all well and good saying he should have stayed a little longer, but this opportunity might not be there for him in a couple of years time.

Rodgers has a young family- this move will secure his future if nothing else. Quite a good thing for a guy who has toiled as a coach for 15 years.

Rodgers is a student of Mourinho- he is going to have a certain arrogance and belief he can move up the ladder quickly. Fortunately for you guys he hasn't left Swansea as barren as Mourinho leaves most of his clubs.

You will get a good Â£4-5million compensation (Rodgers reportedly requested this as part of his contract but i can't confirm that) which is a signing in itself, and a set of players comfortable on the ball, which will help any new manager coming in. You shouldn't have the mad panic of scrapping around for points here and there with long ball football. You have a minimum level of passing play regardless.

I understand it can be painful but don't let this affect your optimism. We applauded you guys off the pitch this season so you should know we're not as bad as made out to be. Also don't be fooled, the majority of our fans are glad to have Rodgers as manager, he will be given time. We don't chop and change managers and do indeed support them. We only turned on Hodgson for reasons many opposition fans choose to ignore but which you may enjoy seeing this summer. Apart from that we have backed every manager we've ever had! Good luck next season, hope you go from strength to strength, and we look forward to hopefully taking more than a point off you next season!
