Standard Friday afternoon press conference I reckon, all managers do them the day before a game don't they?

Be sacked in the morning unfortunately. Was looking forward to us being the team that got him sacked in a couple of weeks.
That win last night only delayed the inevitable.

Ive been saying this for a while now. Will be sad day to see them ruin and brainwash man like Klopp. Soon he'll be laying wreaths all over the shop.

No, Rodgers like Martinez does his 48hrs before a game, so he should have fronted up today for the Villa game.
They've either gave themselves a day to let the heat die down or they've been in negotiations all day over his compensation...

They had a game last night so probably put it back a day.

This, they need another 60 million to sign a proven Premier League player and a foreign star from abroad.

It still goes against past protocol, last week they played on Thursday and he gave his press conference for the game on Sunday on the Friday.
I hope it's nothing but shielding him from the media glare for a day, but he's a deadman walking now regardless.
He'll come out all guns blazing.
"the best fans in the world so they are"
"most knowledgeable so they are"
"they aren't like other fans, and they are that clever they realise rebuilding takes time, so they do"
"you can live without water for many day's, but you can't make a horse fly a kite, so you can't"
"my girlfriend has a willy, so she has"
"this is a family club so it is"
"Shanks came to me in a dream last night so he did, and told me with the fans help,trust and courage, we can make this football club great again so we can, when i awoke this morning, i had renewed hope so i did,the robins were whistling our famous song so they were,i glanced at my partner who was wearing her lucky red and white y fronts so she was, and i said to myself, what about ye Brendan, you gorgeous young thing, it's an omen, be strong and never lose faith, and then to top it off I seen a skidmark on the bed that was a perfect image of the great man Shanks himself,I knew then it was our destiny, me and the fans who never lose faith in their managers so they dont"
The bells on RAWK will lap it up, and all will be forgiven. Scabby lips will be hailed as a tactical genius again, and we can then hammer the final nail into his managerial coffin at the derby.
Get it right up yer pearl drops you beaut.

Somewhere in between he added an extra few stone to the load Brendan Rodgers is carrying.
It was quite a few days' work. Gerrard didn't seem to mind how many toes he stepped on in America and in England as long as he delivered the message he wanted to deliver.
He told us that he would have been a coach and maybe even still playing if someone had only asked him. But Rodgers didn't ask so he went off to the MLS.
The timing could not have been worse for the Liverpool manager. Under ferocious pressure anyway, the last thing Rodgers needs is a club legend turning up on his doorstep like a bad penny to remind everyone that he hasn't gone away.
I always get the feeling that Gerrard wants to be in complete control and if possible two steps ahead of everyone else. But this time, he's got ahead of himself.
He is being disrespectful to LA Galaxy fans and his employers by trying to keep his hand in with BT Sport in the middle of his own season. He missed training as a result and for me that's just not right.
He can't be at his best or at least, he would be in better shape if he didn't make the transatlantic trip. Apparently, it won't be his only visit back to England.
I'd feel sorry for Rodgers if he wasn't busy making a fool of himself without any help. He claims he is delighted to be associated with a certain football "indentity" while delivering very little this season to suggest that he knows what it is he wants to do himself.
If the vision he has in his head of the way the game should be played is represented by Liverpool at the moment, Rodgers' mind must be a pretty disorganised place.
But that aside, he didn't need Gerrard standing up on a stage and telling Liverpool fans that he is still passionately tied to Merseyside, doesn't see the MLS in the same way Robbie Keane sees it and if the right carrot was dangled, he would be back in a shot.
He didn't say those things in as many words but his intent was clear and if I was connected to LA Galaxy, I would be very annoyed indeed.
What Gerrard has done presents John Henry and his partners with an option should they choose to ditch Rodgers. He clearly wants to manage Liverpool and it would certainly be a popular choice albeit a huge gamble.
Gerrard pointed out that Liverpool changed Rodgers's backroom team during the summer and that there was a perfect opportunity to give him a job on the coaching staff and hold onto to him as an occasional player.
The implication I take from that is that Rodgers didn't want him on the coaching staff and I can understand that completely. Who needs a legend lurking in the background, a constant reminder of better days?
It looks to me like Sean O'Driscoll and Gary McAllister were appointed by the club and not Rodgers and maybe that was the trade-off he had to make to shut the door on his ex-captain.
Louis van Gaal managed his situation with Ryan Giggs brilliantly by making it very plain that he was there to carry bags and not make decisions.
Giggs already had his feet under the table and van Gaal was confident enough in his own authority to agree to take him on as a nominal No.2 but you only have to look at the body language on the Manchester United bench to know who is the boss.
Rodgers talks a good game but he carries none of the authority which van Gaal has in abundance and he would have been undermined by Gerrard's presence in the dugout.
As events have unfolded, there isn't much left to undermine. I think Rodgers is lost and will struggle to find a way back.

Welcome back Wayne
@johnmerro1: Told journo's close to #LFC aren't taking or returning any calls. Means big news regarding Rodgers is about to break by them collectively.
