Sounds like the rumored target is Klopp at this point, I think it's a strange move to fire Rodgers now though unless they had a pretty good idea they could bring someone very good, like Klopp, in immediately. The writing was on the wall though.
Crazy to think how close he came to winning the Premier League though and how that might have changed everything, one Gerrard slip away.
I remember watching the Being: Liverpool series that took place the season he came on and he came across like a really genuinely good guy.
