LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) - A plane bearing a banner calling for the dismissal of Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was flown over Anfield just before their Premier League match against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
The banner, organised by the campaign group RodgersOutClub, read "Rodgers Out, Rafa In."
Rodgers is the first Liverpool manager in over 50 years to not win a trophy in his first three seasons at the club but last season guided the club to the brink of a first Premier League title.
"About to leave for Anfield. Hope this Rodgers banner supposedly flying over the ground is called off as it's embarrassing to club and fans," former Reds defender Jamie Carragher tweeted earlier on Saturday.
