I never said worst managers. I said 2nd on the all time shit list. All of the ones you named are worse club football managers than Rodgers. Some of them much worse. But in terms of the overall effect he's had he's done more damage then the others. We were already utterly shit when Hollowhead, Sousa & Sven came in. Taylor is the only one comparable in terms of damage done & he gets third on my list.
Rodgers beats them because of the sheer hubris, arrogance & abdication of responsibilty. The absolute inabilty to change a style of play that clearly he didn't have the players for & his overall stubborness & constantly trying to shift the blame away from himself.
The man's a ****.

I said somewhere else that I think the squad was hit by missing out on the top 4 twice.
But I think actually that hit Brendan harder than anyone. I think going so close and missing out like that destroyed his morale, confidence and is why he couldn't get the team going again. Probably had PTSD from the Gerrard slip all over again...

What was the twin brother comment?

Vestergaard did an interview in Denmark where he said that BR hadn't explained why he wasn't playing or generally talked to him about his exclusion.
This was put to BR in a press conference and BR said he must have a twin brother as he'd communicated with Vestergaard regularly and he knew exactly why he wasn't involved.
Reading between the lines of the various interviews/conversations it seems as though BR wanted rid and Vestergaard refused to leave. BRs response was to freeze him out. Vestergaard responded by digging his heels in further.

And the moral of the story is.... The good guy prevails whilst the idiotic twat gets booted out of the back door and ends up in a pub league.

It’s hard to get one’s head around what Rodgers wilfully did to the club. Can’t wish him enough ill fortune in his professional life from now on, I’ve no doubt we’ll meet again, he’ll be at Everton or Newcastle or someone equally tacky and shit.
Thank **** almost everyone responsible for the FA Cup win came pre Rodgers, so no shine is removed from that.

Can’t stand him. Worse than Peter Taylor in my book. In terms of what he ****ed up, what a spectacular decline.

I feel like he’s the epitome of someone who preaches the success of the group, whilst simultaneously distancing himself from the blame of failure. It’s “never his fault”.

It's a terrible record to have, but why did they put the name of a Welsh town on the image?

Rodgers exposed how hopelessly uninformed the pundits are about the league they're employed to analyse.
Even now, you occasionally hear them suggesting we would have stayed up had Rodgers still been in charge. He had completely lost his head and thrown the mother of all tantrums, but the biggest mistake on the both his side and the club's, was not to part ways in the summer when it became clear the requested funds were not available. Had that of happened, he would almost certainly be manager of Spurs by now.

It was clear what needed to be done in January the season before he was sacked. A season and a half of ****ing around did us.
