I guess with the hiatus of club football and the transition between managers this is a good opportunity for general reflection.
In my lifetime Liverpool has had ten managers (if you count KD twice and don't count Moran's short care-taker period): Paisley, Fagan, Dalglish, Souness, Evans, Houllier, Benitez, Hodgeson, Dalglish, Rodgers. Here's how I would rate them. This is purely a personal opinion and not based on any quantitative assessment of trophies, wins etc... 1. Paisley 2. Dalglish (first era) 3. Fagan 4. Benitez 5. Houllier 6. Evans 7. Rodgers 8. Dalglish (2nd era) 9. Souness . . . . 10. Hodgeson As bad as it has been over the last season and a quarter Rodgers will always have a place in my heart for the 2012/13 rollercoaster and simply for that he rates above Souness. If Klopp can emulate the two other 'foreign' managers on my list I'll be content. I'm not sure anyone will rival the top 3 in my lifetime. |

Why Rodgers over Kenny's 2nd time? he won the league cup and made the fa cup final in his first season, Rodgers did nothing in my eyes, but a big thanks from Suarez.

The same Suárez that didn't get Dalglish to 2nd. If Brendan is at fault for the failures that happened in his time then he should also get some praise for the good things that happened.
I never believed it was he who made Suarez work the way he did, he hit a jackpot tactic with some great service from Stevie and Sterling to help and winged it, and it covered up our horrible defence which was as bad then as it is now. Sorry I just don't rate him and never should have got him, I wish him well seemed a nice guy really though, alhtough came across smug at times

So he pretty much had nothing to do with the good that happened but everything to do with all the failures? Good things = Suárez and luck, bad things = Brendan Rodgers
I'm not saying he would've worked out in the end or anything but it's unfair to not give him any credit for any positives while allowing him to take the blame for all the failures. |

Maybe if Kenny got more time that he deserved he could have had that success with Suarez who was likely finding his way in the team, and he bought him..

Dunno if I missed it, but there's been a few coaching/scouting changes.
Glen Driscoll, Sean O'Driscoll, Chris Davies have left the club, and Gary Mac has moved to an ambassador role. |

Just noticed the ridiculous transfer committee has been retained. Disappointed by that.

You should watch the short video of Klopp holding a pen ready to sign, even that will make you smile and he doesn't even say anything
