Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers cuts short US trip to meet club about possible move to Liverpool Rodgers was in the USA over the weekend to watch Wales go down 2-0 to Mexico in New York. However, he is said to have cut short an extended break in the Big Apple, to fly home and discuss the situation with Jenkins. The odds on Rodgers succeeding Kenny Dalglish at Anfield have tumbled over the past 24 hours, despite continued talk of Wigan's Roberto Martinez taking over. Rodgers has always maintained he is happy at Swansea City and even turned down a chance to speak with the Liverpool owners earlier this month. Yesterday's statement from Swansea said: "We would like to confirm that there has been no contact from Liverpool and nothing has changed since our previous statement on the issue." Swansea said then that Rodgers had "declined the current opportunity" to speak to Liverpool and that he was instead focusing on strengthening the playing staff at the Liberty. Rodgers signed a new three-and-a-half year contract at Swansea in the spring, which means the club would be entitled to significant compensation should he take up an offer to join the staff at Anfield.
