Really?
I'll admit, after the losses that really killed our top 4 hopes as well as an insane tax season and the success of the Flames I havent been following as closely as I usually do, but what arguments do people have against Rodgers?
And if we're talking about Klopp as a replacement I'll admit to being on the fence, but Rafa? No thanks.

I read somewhere that it was actually some Man U fans that flew the banner, but I have no idea if that's true or not. Either way, there definitely seems to be a growing 'Rodgers Out' crowd.
The season has been a total failure on all fronts, assuming that United don't collapse over the last couple games here. The biggest complaint is the wastefulness in the transfer market. We spent a huge sum of money and yet don't have a single goal threat in the side.
Rodgers also seems to have lost his way a bit with his philosophy. We played a 4231 at the start of the season despite not having players really suited for the 2 in midfield, and we constantly got overrun. Then we seemed to stumble into the 3 at the back system, which worked really well for a while. Rodgers apparently had the whole youth setup change to the same system, suggesting that we'd be using that system going forward. But then at the first hiccup when United and Aresenal kicked our butt, we immediately changed back to the 4231 that had never really worked for us.
I'd personally prefer to keep Rodgers, although he still has a lot of improving to do. I don't really see a replacement out there that would immediately be able to turn things around here. Klopp has huge potential, but his project would likely take a while, and I'm not sure his crazy pressing style would work in England very well.
If we did decide to make a change, I would hope we could convince Klopp to sign, but other then that I'd rather give Rodgers another year and see if he can sign up a goal scorer or two and get back on the right track.
