Swansea finished 5 points off Liverpool, they're probably the most attractive team in the league and under him, you'd expect them to get better. Rodgers is only young and has plenty of time to manage a bigger club, I honestly believe he'll manage Barca one day; I'm not sure leaving right now is the best thing for him. I was worried about AVB last summer when he took the Chelsea job and I wouldn't be surprised if things go the same way for Brendan.
I swear there are virtually no British managers abroad? However, I think he does have a good chance of managing Barcelona one day, too.
I like the appointment of Brendan Rodgers, as it shows that we are now willing to take risks; something we were previously unwilling to do. However, I just hope we stick with him, as he is a talented young manager and, if he stays for the long term, he could guide us to success.
However, I feel no elation at this appointment, I do like Rodgers, and I want to see him flourish, but I still refuse to believe he is a top-class manager, despite what many others will say. I think you can't judge someone on 1/2 season, especially since he had a failure at Reading (although I'm not sure what that was about, so I can't really comment on it)!
I am 100% behind him, though, I like him as a manager and I think he may become successful here. We just need to be patient, something we have not done in recent years, and stick with him! However, I was impressed with FSG's timing of King Kenny's sack; it showed they were willing to be patient and not cause disruption to Liverpool's season. I hope they either keep Rodgers for the long term, or sack him at a good time (I'm not trying to be pessimistic, though!).
