Liverpool Sacks Manager Brendan Rogers.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been sacked after a disappointing start to the season.Less than five months after owners Fenway Sports Group gave their backing to the Northern Irishman after a woeful end to the 2014-15 campaign the Americans have done a u-turn.

And just a couple of hours after Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Everton at Goodison Park in the 225th Merseyside derby – another unconvincing performance – Rodgers was relieved of his duties.

“We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Brendan Rodgers for the significant contribution he has made to the club and express our gratitude for his hard work and commitment,'' said a joint-statement from principal owner John W Henry, chairman Tom Werner and president Mike Gordon.
