Liverpool owners 'not contemplating Brendan Rodgers sack'

By , Staff Reporter
Liverpool's American owners are reportedly not contemplating sacking manager Brendan Rodgers following a poor start to the season.

Liverpool's American owners are reportedly not considering a change in management following a poor start to the season for Brendan Rodgers.

After the Reds suffered their fifth defeat in a row by losing 3-1 to Crystal Palace on Sunday, reports claimed that Borussia Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp could replace the Irishman.

However, despite Liverpool suffering their worst start to a season in 22 years, owners Fenway Sports Group remain fully convinced that Rodgers is the right man at Anfield, according to the Daily Mail.

Owner John W Henry and chairman Tom Werner offered a new long-term contract to Rodgers in May after he guided the team to second in the Premier League, two points behind champions Manchester City last season.

The 41-year-old suggested at the weekend that his position is under pressure, but reports have claimed that the Irishman's job is safe on Merseyside.
