Rodgers wins Reds reprieve after talks
Print Edition
BRENDAN Rodgers will be given another chance to deliver Liverpool its first league title in over a quarter of a century after he held talks with the club’s American owners on Tuesday, British media reported.
The 42-year-old Northern Irishman — who failed to land any silverware this season after going agonizingly close to winning the Premier League title in the previous campaign — met with chairman Tom Werner and Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon.
Pressure had grown on Rodgers after also missing out on a Champions League place for next term and a resounding 6-1 mauling by Stoke in its final game of the recent campaign did him few favors especially after spending 110 million pounds (US$168 million).
However, Rodgers and Werner agreed on a “comprehensive plan” aimed at ensuring performances improve next season and said “the group will move forward together”.
The first recruits for next season could well be confirmed this week as England midfielder James Milner and lively striker Danny Ings have both been strongly linked with a move to the Reds from Manchester City and Burnley, respectively.
