Brendan Rodgers admits his position as manager at Liverpool is under threat

Brendan Rodgers has accepted his job as Liverpool manager is under serious threat and said he will strive to repair the club’s fortunes whether he remains at Anfield for “one day, one month or one year more”.

The Liverpool manager struck a notably downbeat tone at a press conference on Friday to preview Aston Villa’s visit to Anfield on Saturday. Rodgers is under intense pressure following an alarming run of results and performances stretching back to March, and has seen Carlo Ancelotti and Jürgen Klopp linked with his job in the past few days. Liverpool have denied approaching any manager about a potential vacancy but there was little defiance from Rodgers when asked if he felt his position was under threat.

“I’m never complacent enough to think it never has been,” he replied. “You need to be at your best every day when you come into a club of this stature, and thrive on that positive fear. It does not affect me. I have a belief in what I do. We nearly achieved great things. We have a new group of players and we are looking to take it forward. I do not shy away from the fact we need to get results and perform well.”

Rodgers was also asked what he felt about other managers being linked with a job that he currently occupies. He said: “When you are a manager of a club this size there is always going to speculation around your job and when you don’t win that will intensify. Since I have been here I think there have been 10 managers linked with job. That is part and parcel of the game.
