That’s fair comment. Not sure what about Rodgers you find unlikeable but there’s others on here who share that view so there must be something about him that rubs certain types up the wrong way. Personally think he’s far more likeable than AN or any number of our previous managers but then likeability isn’t a quality I value too highly in a football manager. Goals scored is top of my list and AN is doing ok on that metric this year. His narcissist personality is unlikeable, he's very much a drone. From a purely football aspect I don't like how his sides end up being a soft touch Cracking manager for a year or two but after that he should be moved on he once claimed a moral victory at liverpool towards the end of his time there, he claimed they had won the passing stats that game so it was all ok!

Martinez had gotten Swansea promoted and put together a good team before Rodgers got that gig. Liverpool had won one cup & lost in the final of another under Dalglish, the season previous to him taking over. Finished eighth - no great shakes but not exactly ‘going nowhere.’ Celtic? That’s the equivalent of a boxer fighting bums to pad out his win record. Leicester had won the league and then finished ninth twice before he got the job. He has spent plenty of money along the way. I’ll be convinced when he turns around a team in turmoil, with no money & battling relegation. I also see he’s been linked with the Spurs job today. I reckon I know how that one would end…🙂 It was Rodgers who got Swansea promoted to the Premier League. He took over a Liverpool team that finished 8th and led them to their first genuinely serious title challenge for a quarter of a century. He finished 5th twice with Leicester after they'd finished 9th the two seasons season prior and 12th the year before that, having them in the mix for the Champions League and winning the cup. He has his flaws and when it goes wrong it goes spectacularly wrong, but he's a good manager. I was talking about Martinez putting together the team that rose through the lower division’s. But you’re right regarding promotion to the premier league to be fair. I just think he’s been very lucky in that he’s always got jobs where teams have been stable. I’ll admit it though Toxic, as well as not rating him particularly as a manager, I find him hard to warm to. He’s been very lucky in the jobs that have come his way. Interesting to see where he ends up next.

He'd do a decent job at Spurs I reckon if they aren't able to land their main targets in Pochettino or Nagelsmann, it wouldn't go down well with the fans I'm sure but they could do a lot worse.

Interesting to see where he ends up next. I don't see how he's been lucky though, he's earned them through doing a good job at the majority of places he's been? Swansea were stable but they were by no means sure-fire promotion contenders when he went there and the signings of Scott Sinclair and Borini were his. He then made some very astute signings the next season to see them finish mid-table. I get that he's hard to warm to, he seems like a narcissist and an oddball, but his CV is a good one overall.

If you look across that pitch and see Rodgers managing the other team? You know you're in for a battle. Regardless of his personality and "media appeal" I respect the guy as a manager. I'd hire him, especially if I was Spurs right now.

He’s a very good two year manager. Perfect for a genuine tilt at the next World Cup😀 And his footballing style is pleasant. Can see why some think he’s egotistical and he probably is but who cares

If I was Coates I'd be digging deep and going for Rodgers. Be a great manager to bring in to take us to the next level. Coates is a billionaire for his excellent business sense, decision making and nous......yourself on the other hand 😉 Should be going full bore for Rodgers...or Potter. Or listen to middlers like you and carry on being dross

I remember when I come to Sunderland with Swansea. I think we beat them 2-0 and he said we should feel lucky to have such a quality team show us what football is
