Title: Brendan Rodgers Liverpool and 6 games to Show you can Do a Job
Post by: Rampstar on April 19, 2014, 02:37:19 PM
Most of you will not really know why I put up this thread in here but it is entirely relevant to us the Richmond Football Club.

Before Brendon Rogers became Manager of Liverpool he had a short career managing clubs like Watford and Reading. In 2008 he took a job coaching Watford and then in 2009 he went to manage his former club Reading. After 6 months at Reading his tenure ended and it ended because of disappointing results. Afterwards he want to Swansea to coach where he won promotion to the Premier League but it is the period at Watford and Reading that is of most interest because Rodgers himself said that this was the period that changed his philosophy on how to coach.

He admitted himself that during the times when he was relatively unsuccessful (ie. the teams he was coaching) he was lenient on poor performance in that he had a group of players that he wanted to believe in but he game them game after game to try and come good, on his own admission the tenure given to players was 12 games or longer. The change in his philosophy came about when he himself reflected on how he would manage players in the future.

Rodgers today says that Players dont have anymore than 6 games to show him that they can do the job he wants to do. Rodgers has gone from poor results at Reading to now being on the verge of winning the English Premier League with Liverpool

So why the stuff do we at Richmond have to put up with crap performances from the same individuals week after week, month after month and year after year. Get rid of em. They are crap. Rodgers is 100% right if a player cant do a job he should be out. Hardwick needs to get a dose of reality and cut the leniency to his favorites who are letting the team down. Drop em, Hardwick most of your favorites are complete poo!

So Hardwick will learn from his mistakes at Richmond before going on to be successful at another club? Cool.

Some merit in his approach although I'm not sure that 6 games is enough to determine a players future, how does that stack up with the outcry over Shultz and whites current form after a dozen or more checkered years between them.  ::)

Rodgers is an idiot and will win a Steve Bradbury EPL title. Liverpool played 20 games less than the top 5 clubs last season.

Man U and Tottenham choked first, then Arsenal choked, Chelsea choked and now Man City are choking.

Rogers paid 35 million pounds for Andy Carroll after 1 season in the top flight and gave him copious amount of games before selling him for half the price a season and a half later. Downing is another mass failure who was gifted games. Get stuffed Rogers.

In theory, I agree with what you are saying Ramps and what Rogers claims to manage by but Rogers is the last person to claim that he rotates a squad.

Rogers did not pay 35 mil for him Kenny Dalgleish did.
Brendan Rogers saw that he was garbage cut the clubs losses and sold to him to West Ham where his performances have mirrored Tyrone Vickery's having played one decent season at Newcastle and underperforming ever since.

wrong.. Rodgers did not buy that pony tailed dud, nor the other 2 big priced jokers at that time, it was the previous manager Kenny Dalgleish. He cleaned the joint out and replaced them with young unknowns who have now blossomed into great players.

back OT, I agree with the principle of what your saying ramps, in essence we give way too much time to duds to prove themselves. 6-12 weeks in the AFL market is just not a realistic timeframe. Anything beyond 4 years is though....

Wow, quickly reminded you can't make a mistake on here. Good to see you haven't changed TM. You've been back on here 6 months and been waiting for a mistake lol, I'll let you enjoy your celebration.

I won't bring up your idiot comments regarding Dustin Martin vs John Butcher. Or the chip on your shoulder that said Griffiths had clipped wings and would never make it. Hope you cheer for Griffiths as loud as the rest of are. Bandwagon head case.

My point was that Rogers doesn't hold himself to these comments. He played Downing for 45 games. Borini played him for 20 games. Both very average players, more examples are a finished Carragher, Jonjo Shelvery isn't a players backside, Assiadi played 12 games - can't play. So Rogers theory doesn't hold up. In fairness to him, the squad you have is the squad you have with injuries and Europe football you need to rotate the squad around.

Surely any legitmete Liverpool supporters would agree that with all the great squads they had with Alonso, Gerrard in his prime, Torres etc. that the squad that they have now has been extremely lucky that the other top 4 teams have bottled it this year. Liverpool deserved to win the EPL many times in the last 15 years with a better squad than they have this year. They've played well and benefited from not being in Europe and have played 20 games less than the other top 6 teams. Good on them and who cares its EPL.

This is easily the best Liverpool side of the past 20 years easily, not sure what you're trying to prove here pope but its not your best work. He played downing for 45 games bc he was another high priced dud signing under dalgleish that he tried to make work but in the end told the owners to cut their losses and sell him for a pittance. Assaidi cant play hence he aint playing, caragher finished and retired, so he went out and bought Sahko and Toure for free to strengthen the backline. Again not sure what you're actually trying to say?

Tony I'm a very jaded soccer fan obvioulsy not Liverpool lol, I won't go into it, my brother in law is a huge Liverpool and Collingwood supporter. We don't get along as it is lol.

However I'd rather see Liverpool win than Chelsea or Man City as they've earnt the title without selling out. It will be extremely painful at the family gatherings over the next year and trying to focus on the positives seeing Liverpool win it lol.

I'll keep my forum use to AFL only in future lol.

Regardless with my brother in law, I enjoy reminding him that he went to bed at half time in the 05/06 Champions League final at 0-3 down. He missed the famous comeback.

I really enjoy reminding him he missed it when ever he plays his ignorant EPL card.

Back to RFC talk lol.
