Brendan Rodgers tells Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins he wants to take up an offer to manage Liverpool But FSG, who had already held talks with Wigan manager Roberto Martinez, made a renewed approach to Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins on Tuesday night, with Rodgers on this occasion keen to hold discussions with Anfield chiefs. He expressed his wish with me to do that and he has spoken to Liverpool today [Wednesday]. Following on from discussions with Liverpool's owners Brendan has informed us that he would like to take up their offer to manage Liverpool. At the moment we are currently in talks with the owners to agree compensation. We hope to finalise that within the next 24 hours. Liverpool sacked Dalglish on May 16 after they finished a disappointing eighth in the Premier League. They may have won the Carling Cup, and reached the FA Cup final, but finishing 17 points adrift of a Champions League spot was deemed too unsatisfactory for the club's American owners. By contrast, Rodgers guided Swansea to a respectable 11th place during their first season in the top flight, including a 1-0 win over Liverpool on the final day of the season.
