Apparently we are in negotiations with him and Liverpool to try and sort a deal out. If he becomes our manager it will effect his pay form then so a deal is trying to be made!
Not sure how I feel about it... Wonder if he could bring any Liverpool players with him to help us this season |  | | |  |

Yeah, cos we're very hard up for midfielders. |  | | |

He would have as good a chance as any manager does of keeping us up, he would also make us more appealing to a lot of potential signings or loan deals.
He's a decent premier league manager, he's not at Ferguson or mournino's level, more a Martinez, Moyes, work with a limited budget and finish mid table sort. | | | |

I'm sick of all of these 'apparently' and 'I've heard that' threads about potential managers. State your source or don't bother. |
Some people really do know people within the club you know and you can't expect them to come out and drop anyone in it. If you don't like it you know what to do. |  |

Liverpool have to pay him until the end of the season so he won't sign anything with us because his payments from them will stop, not sure how much but I'm assuming he was a a decent wage! |
I read something on here about it being early January before he can work again without foregoing his money.
Hope he does come, I've got 20 notes on it...  |  |

My view is its never good to go back in life. We did it with Tosh and ended in tears.
CURT has said himself we need something different. Rodgers isn't.
sheesh |
Rodgers will be different as the vast majority of current players weren't with the Swans when Rodgers was our manager. And those few players who were a Swan under Rodgers are probably delighted he may be coming back. | | | |

What was the relationship like between Rodgers and Jenkins regarding transfers? If Rodgers does come in, will he be happy with any new players that Jenkins picks up before he arrives? |  | | |

If he is coming back, I'm sure he would have told Jenkins who to go and get for him before he is allowed to announce his return.
If this is true, I'm sure HJ and BR are in contact everyday | | | |

Whether or not we want him, it seems to me it would be a huge risk for Rodgers. As it stands he is en ex 'big club' manager and they werent doing too bad when he was sacked. OK they were stodgy but the league position wasnt disastrous. On this basis, his next job would probably be abroad on a really fat salary. Say China or Turkey or something.
If he comes to us and gets relegated, which we all know is possible, he would not get another decent job for years when he leaves us.
My conclusion; from Brendan's perspective it would be a high risk strategy and in his own best interests, he will not want it.
Happy to be proved wrong

Or has Brendon already distributed his transfer list for Huw & his team to work on ? | | | |

I would be absolutely astonished if Rodgers comes back, unless it is purely as a stop gap, which might work for bothe. Even then it's a massive risk for both. He takes us down, his career is f*cked. He needs to go abroad and win something, orgo and succeed at a 'big' media club like Newcastle. |  |

I'm starting to think that it's the most likely scenario to be honest.
If Rodgers wants to rebuild his reputation, then revitalising the team where he made it in the first place would be the logical destination for him. Plus I can see the appeal for Huwbert in appointing someone he already knows is capable and who he has a decent working relationship with.
Must be a reason why we're taking so long over appointing someone too. A clause like that which has been suggested makes perfect sense.

As many have said previously, we have the players to be in a better position than we are at present so I don't buy the "if he takes us down" line.
If the PLAYERS pull their finger out, build on the last 3 performances and find someone to put the ball in the net, we can be good enough again to survive. | | | |

Something must surely be brewing as it's gone so quiet. I would still be amazed, which doesn't mean it won't happen. I just don't see that Rodgers gains anything even if he makes a real success of it. He's done it beforewith us, and finishing second with Pool was a much bigger achievement anyway. If anything he gets even more strongly pigeonholed as a small club johnny. Unless he wants to make a Pullis career as a 'relegation saver'. Personally, I'll just be glad to get a manager in now. Curt is starting to look both pained and painful. | |

I'm really not sure how I feel about the possibility of Brendan coming back, can he get us out of this bit of a hole we're in, when Liverpool where up against it, he couldn't revitalise them, I enjoyed watching us play when he was here and was sorry to see him go, but he did have his downside moments here, where we were guilty of overplaying it on times, without troubling the opo's keeper, don't think we can afford to do that from here on in.
Interesting one though. |  |

In my opinion even if this was a faint possibility then I highly doubt he could be backed at 33-1 as you currently can | | | |

He's not likely to be offered one of the biggest club posts any time soon. A Newcastle or a Villa might be an option, but as they tend to lurch from one crisis to another anyway he may feel that he'd be taking on a job where his chances of failure are that much higher regardless of his ability.
Taking over a fairly stable, if underperforming, team with a chairman he knows and respects with the promise of decent funds come the summer to put his own stamp on proceedings might well appeal to him.
It may not happen. It might not even be a consideration for either party, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

In terms of his contract and the liverpool angle, he might well still be, technically, a Liverpool employee, on garden leave.
I understand some clubs do this, particularly if they have several years left on their contract.
The reason being, if they have, say 3 years left on their contract, the manager will want 3 years pay after being 'let go' because thats how much they are contractually still entitled to. However, if they are instead placed on garden leave and not fired, and keep having a monthly wage, and another club want to hire them during that time, he would need to resign from the club he is still technically employed by, and that club would then save a fortune on his wages as they obviously wouldn't need to pay it (along with any loyalty bonus etc) if he leaves by his own accord.
I think I remember reading that Di Matteo had something like this in place with Chelsea which is why he didn't take a new job for about 18 months after they fired him - because for 18 months, he was receiving his regular Chelsea manager pay.
So for some managers, particularly those let go not far into new contracts from big clubs, it pays to sit at home and not work until the contracts up.
Hell of a racket if you get the work.......
Swansea might be negotiating with Liverpool in a case like this.
By the way, I have no sources, I've never seen a football managers contract, but this is general UK employment law for most normal jobs. |  | | |

There's at least 5 threads each week talking about info from people 'itk' and linked with the club.
Bielsa was a completed signing last week…talk about gullible.

I never got on board with any of the Biesla stuff so I don't know what you're on about. I've only ever mentioned one name and I've stuck by it.
Sounds like you're just being bad tempered to me. Post Christmas blues bah humbug? Go for a walk. | |
