Brendan Rodgers became the second causality for not helping his side achieve the desired results. The Northern Irishman was sacked by Liverpool board on the day when Dick Advocaat resigned as Sunderland manager.
For the former Swansea boss, it wasn’t the results which were of particular relevance as Liverpool are only six points from the top spot. It was more so the uninspiring camp at the time of his sacking, and the lack of direction being shown by the gaffer. Fenway Sports Group proved to be ruthless and sacked the manager after a draw against Everton.
