Brendan Rodgers has a tinfoil hat theory on rumours of his possible sacking

He's cracking up.

That's the only explanation we have for the absolutely bizarre comments made by Brendan Rodgers tonight after he saw his Liverpool side record a 3-2 win over Aston Villa at Anfield. The Reds' manager was under huge pressure ahead of the game after seeing his team scrape past Carlisle midweek in the Capital One Cup, while his side had failed to win any of their six games before this afternoon. Speculation has increased in the last number of weeks that the Irishman will be replaced as manager, but tonight he has come out fighting with a theory North Korea would be proud of. Speaking to the press tonight  after the narrow win Rodgers has blamed a conspiracy against him for the uncertainty surrounding his future

“I am pretty confident that there is a group of people that don’t want me here to be the manager."

“Sometimes we haven’t lost games and the hysteria around it is pretty clear that there is maybe something else going on from behind. I am talking about people outside of here."

“In all competitions we have lost less games than Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal. We have lost two games, which is equivalent to Tottenham and Manchester United." “The hysteria around ourselves is interesting to note. Myself and the players stay very calm and work very hard knowing we will get our rewards."
