I try not to get too impressed with the personalities but find myself getting sucked in by it all, especially Malky - I am very impressed with our manager.

He has got it - I always make my 70 year old father-in-law wait until the end when Malky salutes us at the end of the match.

Love that :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Brendan Rodgers agrees deal to become new Liverpool manager

By Ben Smith
BBC Sport
Brendan Rodgers has agreed a deal to become the new manager of Liverpool Football Club.
The 39-year-old will sign a three-year contract at Anfield and his appointment is likely to be officially confirmed within 24 hours.
Who is Brendan Rodgers?
1973: Born 26 January in Carnlough, Northern Ireland
1987: Begins career as a defender with Ballymena United
1990: Joins Reading as a teenager before being forced to retire through injury. Remains as a coach
2004: Jose Mourinho appoints Rodgers as Chelsea youth team manager
2006: The Blues promote him to reserve team manager
2008: Joins Watford
June 2009: Returns to Reading to replace Steve Coppell
December 2009: Leaves by mutual consent after a bad start
July 2010: Returns to management with Swansea
May 2011: Guides the Swans to promotion via play-offs
May 2012: Leads Swansea to 11th in their first Premier League campaign
Liverpool will pay Swansea City between £4m and £5m in compensation to secure the Northern Irishman's services.
Liverpool sacked former manager Kenny Dalglish on 16 May after finishing eighth in the Premier League.
The Reds were 17 points away from a Champions League qualification spot, but won the League Cup and reached the FA Cup final.
In contrast, Rodgers guided his Swansea side to an impressive first season in the top flight, including a 1-0 win over Liverpool on the final day of the season.
After parting ways with Dalglish, Liverpool embarked on an extensive search for a new manager.
The Reds were linked not only with Rodgers and Wigan manager Roberto Martinez but also former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas, ex-England coach Fabio Capello, and Ajax manager Frank de Boer.
Rodgers declined the opportunity to speak to Liverpool about the vacancy 12 days ago, and instead the club's hierarchy sought a meeting with Wigan's Martinez.
Jose Mourinho on Rodgers
"I like everything in him. He is ambitious and does not see football very differently from myself. He is open, likes to learn and likes to communicate"

Read the full article
But it appears Rodgers was always the preferred candidate, despite Wigan chairman Dave Whelan at one point suggesting his manager had been offered the job at Anfield.
Rodgers' managerial career began at Watford in 2008 after coaching spells at Reading and Chelsea.
His return to Reading was an unhappy one but, after his appointment as Swansea boss in July 2010, Rodgers guided his Welsh side to promotion to the top flight in May 2011, making Swansea the first Welsh team to reach the Premier League.

Leading question this is I think!

As a manager your the last man. When everyone fecks off on holiday as a manager you need to be the last man!! Take full responsibility and hold the fort. Malky is our manager and I wouldn't expect anything less!

If he was lording it on his holiday now then that would be a worry for me.

You take the "managers" salary so you should expect long hours!!

Don't need to go over Briton Ferry bridge any more. The M4 goes staight on. Travel it often, between Cardiff and Carmarthen. I'm sure that there's a turn off for Swansea somewhere though.

Malky's first season, 6th in the league and Carling Cup Finalists, not bad after having to start a fresh and never had big money.
