No, it’s not… He took over during a season. This is his first season…
It’s an improvement on 10th mate. And they’ll probably be 4th by the end of tomorrow which is an improvement on 8th I’m sure you’ll agree
He had 30 games and oversaw a 18 point gap between himself and Claudio Ranieri’s plucky Foxes.
But not on 2nd as Rodgers finished in his 2nd season.
30 league games? Is there 30 games in a season?
Well 30 games was enough for Ranieri’s pluck foxes to tear 18 points further way from him.
Irrelevant
How many games in a season?
Relevant.
This thread is funnier than the Limerick Gaa thread. 
How is Rodgers finishing 2nd once relevant to him getting sacked about 18 months later?
Because it’s more than Klopp has done of present.
Klopp took over a quarter of the way through the season last year but some lads reckon he had a full season under his belt…this isn’t even taking the importance of preseason into account or working with someone else’s players. You couldn’t make it up.
Rodgers wasn’t sacked because he finished 2nd, he was sacked because it was rapidly downhill from there with no signs of improvement
He finished 20 points worse off after finishing 2nd . He started his last season with one we in in 11 games
So it was a product of over exceeding in his second season?
If you didn’t notice, Nembo spends all his time destroying arguments nobody made.

No it isn’t . The cunts on it are far madder which is some fucking achievement !
Bingo
It was an awful third season and a fourth season shaping up the same way that saw Rodgers sacked. Did you think the credit for finishing 2nd in 2013/14 was going to last forever? Rafael Benitez was fired just over a year after guiding Liverpool to a record haul of 86 points for a 2nd place finish in 2008/09. Benitez delivered a European Cup slot in each of his first full six seasons at the helm and the European Cup itself in 2005. When Liverpool fell to 7th in 2009/10, Benitez was fired.
After the 6th place finish in 2014/15, the Liverpool board still gave Rodgers a chance at it for 2015/16. When they were languishing in 10th almost a quarter of the way through the season, playing dreadfully and going nowhere, Rodgers was fired.
