Fuck this situation right now.. Rant incoming...
A year a go to the day we won the play-off final and got promoted to the premier league. Now this. Brendan Rodgers goes to London to meet with Liverpool. Currently situation is he's either on his way to Swansea/already there/been there to talk with the chairman Huw Jenkins. According to SSN he's said he wants the Liverpool job but hasn't been offered it yet. Lots of places already saying it's a done deal, though.
Right, first, I never want anyone in my team that doesn't want to be there. So please, if that the intention, then just go. Not sure why he just extended his contract though if he really does want to leave. He wouldn't talk to Liverpool last week, but now it seems like he was just waiting to see how the Martinez this would play out before speaking up. And the fact that Liverpool is going to announce a new manager Friday makes it seem like it was all planned out before hand behind the scenes. Now they could be playing their way out of paying the compo to Swansea?
Second, I'm so sick of Swansea being used as a stepping stone for everyone. Martinez had some "long term plan" for us then the next week he fucked off to the premier league for a bigger pay check. Brendan Rodgers admitted that before Swansea took him, he couldn't even get an interview for jobs in league 1! Just a bunch of rich guys with fishing rods dropping their hook into a pond of teams that does the grafting, then take what they want.
When Martinez left he took a lot of players and staff with him, Rodgers doing the same could really fuck us up. Our big deal with Gylfi has been accepted but he hasn't signed yet.. one of the main reasons he wanted to stay was because of Rodgers. Few other players could possibly leave if Rodgers goes.
However, we only finished five fucking points behind Liverpool and took 4 points from them last season. Dammit. I have every faith in Huw Jenkins and the board that if needs be, they can find another very good manager, we play nice football in Swansea, and finishing 11th in their first season in the premier league must be pretty inviting to some managers.. if it comes down to searching for another manager, getting the right man could mean certain players stay instead of walking..
Time will tell.
