Good Evening all.
Interested to know Utd fans thoughts regarding Rodgers taking over from Ole. IF rumours are true that he's considered.
Just cause the big stink around Rafa taking over at Everton. The noise about him being a previous LFC manager. Even though Rafa has a CV full of top trophies and having genuine huge love for the area. Many EFC fans hated the idea. Season tickets burned. Etc.
I'm not getting this vibe around Rodgers. But what do you guys actually think if it happened? Is he going to fully open armed accepted? Curious his past has been as noted as Rafas.

I wpuld be gutted. I don't buy into the Rodgers myth. Glenn Johnson said he was just a Jose clone wothout the success. He had heard all his team talks before from jose. He ballsed it up with sterling and that envelope crap is one of the most embarassing stories I've ever heard. Anyone can win trophoes at euro disney up north but he also has the same amount of trophies as roberto martinez in England . Can't think of one player he has genuinely improved in his career and I think bollocks rolls off his toungue. Chuck in the Liverpool connection and I'd rather Big Sam. I'd be gutted.

Grobs, I think opinion amoungst United fans will vary quite a lot. Some like Jamesmack really don't like him, others like Ken would be happy to see him take charge.

Rafa taking over Everton is a slightly different situation I feel. Rafa won things at Liverpool and Evertonians have always struggled being in Liverpool's shadow and have an inferiority complex.

Rodgers won nothing with Liverpool, so he didn't stick a dagger in our hearts by lifting a trophy with the enemy like Rafa did.

Yet it hasn't taken long for the Toffees to start to take a shine to Rafa. If Rodgers came in and won a trophy I doubt even those who don't want him will smile and enjoy it through gritted teeth, but actually be happy.

Sir Matt Busby is probably the most important manager in our history even if Sir Alex has become the most successful. Busby played for both Liverpool and Manchester City as a player. Yet United fans accept him and are proud of his legacy at our club.

Whether Rodgers would be accepted by United fans almost certainly depends on how successful he is if he gets the job.
