Brendan Rodgers is the new favourite to be Liverpool Manager, there is rumoured to have been contact with him again and he is due to meet Huw Jenkins, Swansea's Chairman soon to discuss it.

Would be happier with Rodgers than Martinez

[bbfan1991]

Liverpool have not made an approach for permission to talk to Brendan Rodgers. Full details as we get it on.

What SSN are claiming now?

SSN are know-nothing wankers.

I used to remember thinking at one point they were reliable, although now they just use Twitter as a guide to their stories and most stuff is leaked on there before Sky Sports and the press try to claim it as an exclusive.

Brendan Rodgers is close to sealing a deal to become the new Liverpool manager.

Swansea boss Rodgers is expected to hold talks with Reds' co-owner John W Henry, and could be announced by the end of the week.

In a further twist, Wigan gaffer Roberto Martinez, who had been favourite for the Anfield post, is set to move to Aston Villa.

Henry has been impressed by the job Rodgers has done at Swansea, winning promotion to the Premier league and surviving comfortably while preaching attractive football, and feels the 39-year-old fits his template as a young, rising manager.

Rodgers spent Tuesday *afternoon locked in talks with Swans chairman Huw Jenkins, who is desperately fighting to hang on to the Ulsterman, who watched Wales play their friendly international against Mexico in New York at the weekend.

and yes, SSN just get rumours off twitter/steal from other journalists then stamp ''Sky sources understand'' at the front of it

[bbfan1991]

Looks like Brendan Rodgers will be confirmed as the new Liverpool Manager soon, the press reckon he will sign a 3 or 4 years contract.

[Locke.]

Don't believe a word of it until Dave Whelan confirms it

[King Gizzard]

it's going to be done, and looks like Lambert to Villa as well

Lambert to Villa would be good.

[Locke.]

Hoping the Sigurdsson deal falls apart now and Rodgers brings him here

[Locke.]

Done deal now apparently.

[King Gizzard]

Rodgers confirmed by the BBC

[King Gizzard]

Funny how so many favour him when Martinez is the one that set Swansea up to play that way

[bbfan1991]

Another reason why some Liverpool fans are favouring Brendan Rodgers is because he worked under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.

[Locke.]

I wasn't too sure when he was first being linked the other week but I read a few interviews that he's done and he seems to know what he is doing and have a good head on his shoulders.

How far do you take that premise backwards?

Why do people rate Guardiola when Cryuff set Barca up to play like that? Martinez left Swansea 3 years ago, and they appointed another manager before Rogers. He was also only there for 2 years.

Well it actually was Martinez that set that style up, before then they were languishing in league 1.

I do like Rodgers, and did well this season/to get them promoted, but he's riding on Martinez's wave somewhat and should be thankful towards him

[bbfan1991]

It is a risk though because lets say Liverpool lose a few games next season then some fans will be getting on his back.

Is a top 6 finish in terms of his first year more realistic just to let the transition period set in? Although I am sure a club like Liverpool would go for the top 4, it is tough now there are lots of teams competing for those places.
