Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool future: 4 reasons for & against sacking, with report claiming boss’s job is unsafe

Posted by

FOR Rodgers:

Rodgers shouldn’t be fired unless there’s a blatantly obvious replacement.

Barring perhaps Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, who are unattainable, can we guarantee any of the mooted options would even be an improvement? Frank de Boer is untested outside of Holland, Jurgen Klopp saw Borussia Dortmund get themselves involved in a relegation battle at one point this season, Rafa Benitez has already had his chance, and Jamie Carragher or Steven Gerrard would be very big managerial risks.

AGAINST Rodgers: 

A lack of any significant improvement.

In the season before Rodgers took over, Liverpool won the League Cup and reached the FA Cup final – but the performances were deemed poor enough for us to part company with Kenny Dalglish. In Rodgers’ first season with us he finished eighth in the league, and looks set to finish anywhere between 5th and 7th two campaigns on. He might top this season with an FA Cup victory – but is that really enough?
