I agree. I thought Rodgers was garbage his first season and I think hes had a couple of questionable moments this year, like I didnt think he fielded strong enough teams in the Europa League after being knocked out of the CL, but I also think hes done a solid job and I want Liverpool to be a club that has a manager they like and stick with him.
Its a big reason that I'm really happy with the Flames at the moment. I'm a strong believer in organizational stability, keep the same coach, keep the same manager and keep the same President as long as they're doing a good job. If they do a poor job then evaluate, but sometimes the management are doing an excellent job even if the results on the field arent to your liking.
I find knee-jerk reactions in terms of management are far too commonplace these days. In soccer its a lot different than in hockey, the goalposts are in very different places in terms of qualifying for competitions so that money comes in or relegation/promotion compared to making the playoffs etc.
But far too often you know when a guy is going to get fired be it rightly on wrongly.
And thats sort of where I'm at with Rodgers/Klopp. I mean, sacking Rodgers because he was forced to sell his best player, went through injury problems and couldnt buy a goal when the team needed some and is likely to finish 5th in the league despite all of it? I think thats still pretty good and is a very decent foundation to build upon given some time and investment.
