You’re having a laugh! Arsenal have no chance of luring Liverpool’s Brendan Rodgers
It seems Arsenal have half an eye on the future as they are apparently looking at who might replace Arsene Wenger when the Frenchman leaves the club.
The Londoners have offered their long-serving manager a new two year contract, but reports suggest the club’s board have started to the process of identifying who will take charge of the team in the long-term.
I’m sure there will be plenty of speculation about who will be his successor in the coming months but the The Daily Telegraph have already claimed that Liverpool’s Brendan Rodgers is being considered as their future manager.
The news of Arsenal’s interest will worry Liverpool supporters. The club have clearly made impressive progress since Rodgers took over as manager at Anfield.
Liverpool are playing some of their best football for many years and are scoring goals for fun. Rodgers has been instrumental in creating this exciting brand of football which, more importantly, has put the side into serious contention for the Premier League title.
The goal at the start of the season was to finish in the top four and qualify for next season’s Champions League, but with that target almost assured, Rodgers’ men are in a great position to win the club’s first title in 24 years.
I can’t believe Rodgers would be tempted to leave the club at this stage, especially when he has invested so much time in developing young players like Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson.
Liverpool fans have a great reputation of sticking by their managers through thick and thin – and I don’t think that is something he would get at the Emirates.
Reds captain Steven Gerrard has asked the club’s owners to tie Rodgers down to a long-term contract and with the backdrop of this reported interest from Arsenal it would a perfect time for Liverpool’s board to follow their skipper’s advice.
