Brendan Rodgers

Like him or loathe him, and I do loathe him but you got to admire the way he stands by his footballing principles.

Not many managers would have had the balls to go into a football club and tell the club, and players, that they splashed out over 45m for last season that they are not wanted, and whispers also Henderson is on the way out as well so add another 19m on top of that.

A lesser man may have just tried to make it work not wanting to upset the owners.

I admire the way he gone into Liverpool and has said "We are doing this my way". Doesnt seem fazed by the big calls at all. Comes across very much the man in charge the way he did at the league one sized outfit down West.

Yep, he's got cojones. Remains to be seen if it works out for him or not. Certainly don't rate Henderson, myself.

Check out my Burnley thread for the photos, by the way. I've just bumped it.

liverpool will probably do a swansea, that is beat a couple of good teams and finish the season nothing to w-ank over
