Analysis by chief football writer Phil McNulty
At the heart of Rodgers' demise at Liverpool was a failed, flawed recruitment policy that saw nearly £292m spent since his arrival in the summer of 2012 - but most of the world-class talent he possessed walk out of the door. |

Well he's spot on with his assessment, 292 million! |  |

Interesting bit in that piece that Rodgers stated categorically that Balotelli would not be be joining days before he signed. I can't imagine it's enjoyable to be put in that kind of situation. The fact he's barely used £29m Firmino this season suggests he wasn't someone he wanted either. |  |

It's £106million over three years Wayne. |  |

Precisely.
Cock suckers like McNulty drive me wild. Yes men who provide no insight and cosy up to the established order. Did he write "Kenny Dalglish's teams played good football too"? That's what he always used to when critiquing Brendan.
He's embarrassing. "Phil Neville - please be my mate." | |

Brenda got us up, though he had a good system/ trained squad in place from previous managers, so can't take the credit on his own.
But he is the man who got enough out of some pretty average players, to do it.
Even with certain players publicly saying we weren't good enough to stay up, he motivated the players enough for us to stay up as well.
He ensured we got compo for him and others moving on.
That helped the club financially
Thanks Brenda
Just add another page to your dossier on how long it takes to pack up and move.
I for one, wish you good luck for the future, until you're on the opposition to us that is. Then you'll get grief as all others do.
But that's just football.
Can't understand the animosity of some towards the bloke. He always struck me as decent when talking to him.
His soundbites/ press conferences on the other hand, have always got on my tits.
So on decency, I'd take Brenda over the Tapas waiter anyday.
But we went back with Yorath after he walked away for a bigger club (didn't go well at either!!!) and I believe that we should only move forward.
So. A no from me on Brenda coming back here.
But, good luck to him for the future all the same. |  |

I'd take Cullis back before the slimeball. |
Fair enough.
I can't be bothered holding grudges against them - I wouldn't trust many of them further than I could throw them to be honest (managers, players, whatever).
I simply preferred the football under Martinez (albeit that our defence was ropey!!)
Some of the games under him were the best I ever saw in terms of sheer exhilarating enjoyment.
I understand those that can't forgive him though.
My issue with Rodgers was not the football - what he achieved was brilliant although at points in that 1st season we ended up passing back and forth for the sake or it I thought (QPR away for example), and it seems that those who have a personal experience of him speak highly of him (Darran, Lorraine etc) which is great.
I just really disliked all the ego driven management speak crap he came out with. In the championship and the first few weeks of the PL it didn't really show very much, but there was a point during that PL season where he seemed to just flip, and started to believe all the hype. Some of the comments I found excruciating - the Sunderland away game was beyond belief and I remember one occasion he was on MOTD 2 or similar, and he was unbearably smug and took credit for everything.
As I say - no matter - I wouldn't mind if he ever came back as it doesn't worry me if I like them or not, and actually it may be that this experience will tone down his ego somewhat.
The issue he had as a manager of Liverpool wouldn't matter so much here, as I think he has a genuine talent with younger players, and bringing out the best in 'lesser' players, but he can't manage the 'top' players. I imagine his ego can't stand the competition. |  | | |

I saw a mail on a football site from a Liverpool fan suggesting they should go for Laudrup. Made me giggle, as did their suggestion that Swansea had 'dealt him a horrible blow'. | |

Interesting.......
Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was reportedly consistently blocked from signing Swansea City centre-back Ashley Williams when he was in charge at Anfield.
According to various reports (via Gareth Vincent of the South Wales Evening Post), Rodgers was eager to sign 31-year-old Williams but was denied his No. 1 target by the Liverpool hierarchy, as he was considered too old, and Mamadou Sakho, 25, was bought instead. |  |

How long has Ashley got in his career for us, he will be hard to replace in a few years time. |  | | |

When he was here I think we all hung on to his every last word.Whether it be praising the city, the fans or the club in general and we all purred.It was only when he left that some turned on him and hearing the same soundbites he used here said at another club we found irritating and he became a joke especially when Liverpool struggled.I liked the man and still think he's up there with Tosh as our best ever.We knew he'd go eventually as he said he would and the clause he insisted on being put in place was a great gesture no matter how cynical we can be.I hoped he'd succeed at Liverpool at first and was proud a club of their stature came in for him unlike Wigan for example but once he left his wife had his teeth done and generally thought his shit was Cadbury's I lost all respect for him and found him annoying to the point where I could barely watch him in an interview.The Sunderland gig or a move to Spain will be his next move I think.Maybe the Sunderland gig is too soon though but I can see him heading for LaLiga. |  | | |

He'll end up somewhere like Villa or Newcastle and probably do quite well with reduced expectations.
Whilst for me his self confidence/ego led him to take on a job the size of Liverpool far too early in his managerial career, I don't doubt that a lot of the blame for their piss poor transfer market activity is falling on him unfairly.
Don't think he's done himself too many favours with the relentless stream of bullshit pouring out of his mouth either, but then I've never been a fan of managers like that anyway. |  |

What about that gentleman's agreement he broke after signing Joe Allen? An agreement which prevented Brendan signing any Swans player for 12 months. | |

At double the market value he was welcome to take the whole squad. |  | | |

I tend to agree with what you're saying and I do tend to see the best in our managers, but I do remember feeling very uncomfortable after his comments following the Sunderland away game. Really made me cringe and found myself noticing his self-promotion more and more after that. | |

I agree with Warwick. Gentleman's agreement or not, I'm sure Huw was willing to forget all about that when Liverpool offered £15m. No-one can claim that we weren't the winners from that deal. [Post edited 6 Oct 2015 8:54]
