Breaking news;
Brendan Rodgers is on the verge of becoming the new Liverpool manager, according to reports. Talksport are of the “understanding” that the appointment by the Fenway Sports Group has been made.
Sky Sources claimed earlier that Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins held a two-hour meeting with Rodgers today and the result is the Swans boss leaving to manage the Anfield club.
The impending appointment looks to be a surprise one after Rodgers initially rejected the opportunity to speak to Liverpool about the vacancy last week. The club then moved on to other candidates, speaking to both former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas and even former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez to replace the sacked Kop legend Kenny Dalglish before they seemed to have settled on Wigan manager Roberto Martinez.
Martinez photographed with Liverpool owner John W Henry in America last week
Martinez flew to America and met with principal owner John W Henry last Thursday in Miami and was deep in talks with Liverpool but a deal couldn’t be trashed out and it appears a second approach to Rodgers has resulted in this apparently impending appointment. Rodgers was in the United States to see Wales vs Mexico and it looks like his head may have been turned after initially turning down an approach.
More news as we get it but we must stress this news has yet to be confirmed and Swansea earlier insisted that the lengthy meeting with Rodgers today was scheduled to plan transfer targets and training regimes for next season.

The headline is a little misleading don’t you think?
We did have a question mark in the title… then Talksport confirmed the story and the bookies reduced the odds on him so we removed… and now we are debating putting it back in as Talksport are balking on the story!
I like the way Incognito thinks!
Matt Holmes has never heard of puntuation before. LOL
You should know by now TalkCrapSport are the worse in sourcing information.
Do you mean “the worst”? Following last month’s announcement by this website of Dalglish’s departure a full 24hrs before anyone else knew anything about it, I wouldn’t be that quick to dismiss this to be honest. If only Matt could reveal his source…or is it a question of protecting it?
