I'm properly excited now that Klopp's appointment is official now even though we expected it. Looks a natural fit in terms of his tenure at Borussia Dortmund and that we're a very similar case to when he took over at Dortmund.
As for Rodgers, it was very much time for him to go. I think he embraced the ethos of Liverpool (both city and football club), gave academy players a chance and despite his Brendanisms ('character' and 'honesty of the group') he was a likeable person. The 13/14 season was a brilliant memory up until May, people say it was down to SAS (which is true to an extent) but he deserves credit for getting the best out of them. As a result of that season and the way we were set up (almost a 5-5 formation) he compromised his own original philosophy (tiki-taka), results last season and this season were poor and the amount of players incoming and outgoing meant he never knew what his best team was. Best wishes to him though, he'll get another job quite soon whether it be the England job after Hodgson, in La Liga or another Premier League club.
I think Klopp's charisma, tactical astuteness (which Rodgers lacked) and man-management qualities will see him become a success here, I'm glad FSG acted and got him before a better team/rival did.
