Rodgers had a fair amount of stick on here during his time at Liverpool and now he's out of work, it seems he's a decent manager. I don't get it.

You could call it revisionist desperation, or desperate revisionism maybe. Whatever, the fact is we're in the shit and the fear we all share is that our situation could be a lot worse quite soon, so it's understandable.

I don't think Rodgers is anything special but Im sure he's bettter than what we have at the moment, so I'd take him. However I'm not so sure he'd join us - at least not for a while. I can well imagine he's monitoring the Chelsea situation and if that doesn't improve soon, hoping they'll give Jose the push. If that happened then Rodgers would certainly consider he'd be in with a good chance of taking over there, given the fact that he worked there previously and also because there aren't that many obvious and unemployed managers of the calibre Chelsea would want.

Not everyone wants Rodgers though Clampy, it seems there is a fair few who are not that convinced. I hope if we get him he's not Liverpools version of our Lambert. I did say this the other day with Eddie Howe. His team looks good and he's done a great job, but is he also going to be shit at a bigger club?

It's all such a massive gamble but I'd still put money on Rodgers being a better manager than Tim who seems to me completely out of his depth.

I doubt it. I reckon Gary Mac was a board decision to get the fans onside. I'd expect Rodgers would bring Colin Pascoe with him.m

McAllister has yet to complete his coaching badges, a process rudely interrupted in 2011 when he was replaced as caretaker boss at Villa Park by Alex McLeish, but they’re back on his radar.

He said: “I’ve not done the Pro Licence. I was actually doing my A Licence at Inverclyde when I got the text from Paul Faulkner at Villa telling me my services were no longer required.

“I think I just packed my bags and went home at that point.

“You get a wee bit disillusioned with the game, things like that happening.

“I know how the game works but things can be done better than that.”

I would have more chance of the Chelsea job than Rogers has now

Has Sherwood done his coaching badges?

Wonder if it's like every year when GCSE and A Level results are announced and loads of old school coaches say how it's getting easier to pass each year.

I reckon Saturday could be the end of the road for sherwood then we can employ somebody either before Swansea or run with a caretaker manager for a week or so .

Yep, I can't for the life of me see Rodgers replacing Mourinho.

I think Rodgers believed his own hype - that's why he's taken a bit of a bashing recently - he had a world class Luis Suarez which almost made him look like a top class manager.

I read a while back when Pellegrini was under massive pressure that Man. City wanted Guardiola but if for any reason he wouldn't come Man. City's fallback option was Brendan Rodgers.

I was surprised reading that as anyone would be now given his lack of trophies but apparently the hierachy at Man. City like the way he sets up teams and think he'd be a good fit for them.

Found this from their local rag that supports it:

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/how-man-city-dodged-bullet-10229370

Point is I don't think Rodgers will be out of work for long...plenty of clubs will take a punt on him when they sack managers, he could also decide to go abroad like Moyes. I would say he's hardly damaged goods.
