It understood that Liverpool have already attempted to sack manager Brendan Rodgers on numerous occasions this season.
With growing pressure mounting on the the Northern Irish boss, former Liverpool centre-forward Stan Collymore has revealed that Liverpool owner John W.Henry has already run out of patience with Rodgers and has been willing to replace the manager in recent weeks
With Liverpool being knocked out of the Champions League in midweek after drawing to Basel, writing for Bleacher Report, Collymore said: “I heard two weeks ago that John Henry has tried to sack Brendan Rodgers a couple of times already.
“He was persuaded not to by Ian Ayre and a couple of club legends, who were sought out for their counsel.”
Collymore himself has added that he agrees with the club legends, and urges Liverpool to give Rodgers more time.
He added: “Rodgers’ signings just haven’t worked.
“Adam Lallana has been no better than a six out of 10, Mario Balotelli a five, Rickie Lambert five, Lazar Markovic five.
“It’s been the stuff of nightmares for Rodgers.”
