What a joke of a man.

I wonder what King Kenny would make of that having shelled out 35m for 'Big Andy' and spending most of his time thereafter trying to justify the 'sailor on shore leave' expenditure. Good on Carroll for telling it as it was.... and spotlighting the insane mindset of 'Janus' Rodgers.

He is very frank about Rodgers being two faced and says he also treated other players similarly...

“What he was saying to me and what was actually happening [were different things]. He was telling me one thing to my face, then I’d leave the training ground and he would ring me and tell me a completely different thing.
“He would say: ‘You’re going to play every week, you’re going to play every game up front with [Luis] Suárez’. I’d leave and get home and he would ring me and say: ‘Fulham and West Ham want you and I think it’s best you should go.’ I had just had a conversation with him ten minutes ago. So I would go back and see him and he would say the opposite again.
“It was the same thing round and round and round. On phone calls, it was: ‘I think you should go.’ To my face it was: ‘You’ll start every week’. It was mixed messages. He was messing with my head. I lost respect for him, to be honest
“Another example: I went to Hearts for the [Europa League qualifier]. I got up there. He said I was starting. I woke up in the morning and he came in and said: ‘I think you’ve got a hamstring problem, you’re not going to start.’ I said my hamstring was fine. He said I’d be on the bench. I got to the ground and I wasn’t even on the bench. I was the only one missing out.
“It was just messing me about. I was angry. I knew it was time to go. I thought I just want to play football. I didn’t need this. Under Brendan I knew I was never going to play, with what he was saying to me.
“If he had said straightaway I wasn’t going to play, I’d have said fair enough, you’re a new manager, it’s your decision. You didn’t sign me, fair enough. He did it to a few other players, too, players who are not there now. I didn’t need to speak to anyone about it. I just knew it was a breakdown. If the manager is treating me like this, [I thought] there is no reason for me to be at Liverpool

Yes I remembered this pathetic brown nosing from the ratbag Nolan.....Have to laugh at Benitez at the end of the article though...neatly ridiculing his predecessor Houllier who bought Diouf

Kevin Nolan has backed Steven Gerrard's claim that a stamp on the Bolton midfielder was unintentional.
Bolton boss Sam Allardyce suggested that Liverpool's Gerrard deliberately stamped on Nolan in the 2-2 draw at the Reebok Stadium on Monday.
However, Nolan said: "I do not think it was intentional."
Gerrard insisted: "It was a complete accident. I am mates with Kevin Nolan so why would I ever try to deliberately hurt him?"
Nolan had stud marks on his chest after the 30th-minute incident but maintains Gerrard was blameless.
He added: "I have seen the incident and it was just one of those things.
"I was disappointed and wanted to have a look at it but I didn't see much wrong with it.
"I would not want anything to happen to him now because it was an accident."
Gerrard said he spoke to Nolan after the game and was shocked Allardyce reacted the way he did.
He said: "I'm very surprised he is trying to make an issue of it.
"We spoke at the end of the match. I wished him all the best for the rest of the season and the tackle wasn't even mentioned."
But Allardyce claimed Gerrard should have been sent off along with Mohammed Sissoko, who was involved in a similar incident with El-Hadji Diouf.

Bolton were diving all the time

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez
"It is serious foul play. The incidents are plain, clear and obvious," said the Bolton manager.
"It's difficult, I know, for referees in a split second but it couldn't be anything less than intentional and that is sad."
Reds manager Rafael Benitez said he did not see the Gerrard incident but was seething about Bolton's tactics and, in particular, the behaviour of ex-Liverpool striker Diouf.
"Perhaps they have other rules here but the referee should protect the players who want to play football," said the Spaniard.
"Bolton were diving all the time and you know they like free-kicks.
"Everyone in England knows what Diouf is like but today someone clearly didn't."
The draw ended Liverpool's hopes of equalling their club record of 11 straight Premiership wins.

I think Nolan still harboured hopes of playing for them back then and didn't want to rock the boat. A comical moment though.
 

So that's Carroll, Downing, Reina and Agger who've left and all slagged of this fellas managment, even Suarez said Carroll was badly treated by Rodgers in his autobiography.

Has Carragher slagged him as well? Or is he waiting for Gerrard to jump ship and then they can both do it next season?

Classy feller.

He comes across as two faced.
 
I read on the BBC text thing that Mario's agent claims that he (Mario) is a "changed man, but still wants to stay at Liverpool".

Can anyone tell me what that means?

I think it means his agent wants another move, and that Mario's problems are behind him......

Pretty sure only one of those is actually true though.
