Dismal performances and more transfer problems mean Reds manager faces a tricky end-of-season review with FSG

Brendan Rodgers Liverpool manager

Liverpool's end of season slump and yet another summer of looming transfer chaos may have undermined the position of manager Brendan Rodgers, who may now have to persuade the club's American owners Fenway Sports Group that he is still the man for the job.

He faces an end-of-season review at which he "will have to prove he is the right man to take Liverpool forward", reports Tony Barrett of The Times. Although Rodgers has lost the support of many fans this season his job is not in immediate danger, says the paper, but the talks are aimed at establishing "common ground" between owners and manager.
