Saints Fans Celebrate As Brendan Rodgers Sacked

Saints fans will feel a sense of justice being done as it was announced that Brendan Rodgers has been sacked by Liverpool Football Club.

Saints played their part in the demise of a man who was as near to a public enemy number 1 as we have, by beating Chelsea yesterday, that result and Mourinho's weird press conference lead to media sources claiming that the Chelsea boss wan on the brink of being sacked.

This would have stirred the Liverpool board into action, if Rodger's results weren't bad enough, Liverpool could not afford to hang on much longer and see their targeted replacements snatched from under their noses by the London club, once I heard the name of Klopp being mentioned as a possible replacement for Mourinho, I knew that Rodgers was toast.

Sky Sports interviewed Rodgers after the game against Everton and he said that he hoped to be at the club a while longer, that turned out to be only another couple of hours as Liverpool announced they had sacked the man who had come to be the most hated man in Southampton for the way he went about unsettling our players in the summer of 2014.

Back in August 2014 he said when asked about raiding St Mary's and the way it had been done.

"I have absolutely no sympathy for Southampton,”

"They have a choice as a club. They don’t have to sell. They had that choice. Maybe Southampton’s objectives have changed. They were on course to be a ­Champions League club, I believe, but, obviously, that has changed. "

That rankled with Saints fans who thought that Rodgers had gone beyond the acceptable boundaries in the way he unsettled our players, Saints it's true could have held on to the trio of players he had signed, but they clearly were unsettled and had had their heads turned behind the back of their then current club, Dejan Lovren stating that "His head was already in Liverpool" before an official bid had even been made.

Now Brendan Rodger's head is no longer in Liverpool it's heading for the Dole Office,
