What I've learnt about Brendan Rodgers.
- He is Irish, not Scottish
- He was once a van driver for Waitrose
- He shares his birthday with Jose Mourinho
- Is partial to a bit of 'cosmetic enhancement'
- can't be trusted with great sums of money
- Can be trusted to make a person out of himself through the media
- His favourite two words are technical and ability
- He is very good at evening out his San Tropez
- He is a excellent coach/trainer
- But not such a great manager
- He surrounds himself by yes men
- He strives on authority
- Heard he's a fan of De La Soul
- De La Soul isn't a South American footballer by the way (for those too young)
If anyone else has some great Brendan Rodgers trivia or facts then please go ahead and submit below
He likes blondes.
Brenden Rodgers Facts?
He had us 3 points of winning the league last season, in what our best premier league campaign since 1990.
Have a bit of respect; I know he is not everyone's cup of tea (I cringe when he makes stupidity remarks in interviews as well), but he is young and only going to improve. This season still has a lot to play for, put on the performance like we did against chelski in the two legs then we have a good chance in both top 4 and the FA cup.
His favourite saying is it was never in the plans to win the league this season.
You forgot the word 'intensity', he likes that one very much.

He once had a paper shop in Northern Ireland, but it blew away.

He went from Genius to mentally challenged in the space of 2 months with most people on here ! if that is not fickle people need a dictionary to understand the definition. I am behind him until the season is over. people forget we still have like haf the season to play and a top 4 finish will make it almost impossible to sack him. And NOO he didn't spend over £ 100 m, our net spend is like 50 M € in transfer fees. Turn it around and put it how you want it, it is IMPOSSIBLE to spend over 100 million because he needed to sell for like 90 million first. So the money spent came from somewhere. So its the NET SPEND that matters.
{Ed001's Note - sorry but Brendan himself said otherwise, so why are you trying to claim net spend is relevant?}
. don't we all ag.
{Ed001's Note - not all of us Davey, I don't do blondes, I like my women intelligent enough to know they can do better than me! ;o)

Who doesn't?
Is that because you see blonde women a challenge to your blonde mullet ed 1? Don't worry about it, just imagine walking down the road looking like a pair from bananarama.
{Ed001's Note - shhhhh Davey I told you about that mullet in confidence, I don't want everyone knowing about that! And you are really showing your age there mate with the reference to Banarama.}

maybe it is not relevant for this post and i appologise for that but is very relevant when they are thinking about replacing him believe me. He says many weird things but i learned at a young age never to take what managers say seriously. Since BR likes his own voice i take every thing he says with a pinch of salt, so should you mate. Its not Paisley's or Fagans days anymore where mangers are honest.
There is nothing wrong with a bit of Bananarama ed. Throw in a bit of A flock of seagulls for good measure.
He'd make a great politician. Says all the right things but can't back anything up

You lot are starting to sound like Fun Boy Three doing Tunnel Of Love. scr*w it, I'm old and not ashamed, lol :)
"A double Black Russian and whatever your having" he said to the Sweedish bar maid.
My wife is blonde, proper top to toe Scandinavian blonde. Qualified accountant and chief analyst at one the largest Electronics company in the world. Not all blondes are unintelligent.
Cue the pubic hair quips. .
He likes saying 'gutted' and bitterly disappointed' when we don't win

Flock of seagulls?
That a euphonism then?
