da bet7: Liverpool are close to sacking manager Brendan Rodgers, according to talkSPORT.
da betsson: Rodgers’ Liverpool came to within a point of winning the Premier League in the 2013/2014 season but have been on a slippery slope ever since.
The Reds’ disappointing start to this season has seen them gain just eight points from their opening six games, as well as struggling to overcome Carlisle in the Capital One Cup third round at Anfield last night, eventually going through via a penalty shoot out.
And now it is being claimed by talkSPORT’s Merseyside correspondent Graham Beeecroft that Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group have already decided that Rodgers will be sacked.
He told talkSPORT: “John W Henry would have looked at that performance and thought, ‘this is not good enough and a change has to be made’, and I understand that is going to happen.
“In fact, the club board were split in what to do with Brendan Rodgers, but the power base in Boston decided before this game they were going to make the change.
“This result will simply have reinforced the fact they feel they have to do that.”
Sky Sports have today claimed that former Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted his interest in working in the Premier League and will cut short his sabbatical for the right job, which has fuelled rumours that Liverpool could make a move for the charismatic manager.
But Beecroft, who also spoke about rumours linking former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, insists Klopp will not be the next Liverpool boss.
“Liverpool swiftly denied any talks with Carlo Ancelloti when the rumours became public, however you might remember Jurgen Klopp has been linked with the Liverpool job for quite some time and they’ve never issued any statement regarding that, so Liverpool fans saw that as being a little bit fishy,” he added.
“Unless something happens, whereby Ancelloti says no, that will be the only thing that will save Brendan, and even then, he would only stay in the short term.
“One thing I can tell you is that Jurgen Klopp will not be the next Liverpool manager.”
