Liverpool chairman reveals reasons why Brendan Rodgers avoided the sack

'Our track record demonstrates that our approach and attitude is very much focused on stability. We have demonstrated that both on and off the pitch.' The American added, 'We do believe Brendan is the right man for Liverpool and the right man to take the club forward. When we hired Brendan we wanted to see improvement. 'Hopefully when we have a conversation in a year’s time he will have demonstrated and the squad will have demonstrated that we’ve regained top form again.' Werner admitted last season was "disappointing", with the Reds finishing down in sixth and missing out on cup consolations. He continued, 'We wanted to see some progress. There were bright spots along the way. There was a period in the season from around the halfway mark when we really did show top form. But the end of the season was disappointing. 'I don’t really want to get into the reasons why we fell short of our goals. We had some very constructive discussions with Brendan. We learned a lot and we are very much looking forward to the start of the season because we’re a stronger team now than we were a year ago.' Time will tell but it would appear that Rodgers may not have much of it. [H/t: Liverpool Echo]
