He reminds me of Docherty at Stretford, as does his team.
They would come out like they were on drugs and try to win it in the first 20 minutes. Docherty was like a fairground barker, coming out with all sorts of shite, and the media lapped it up because United hadn't been at the top for so long. But ultimately with that team, if you held them off and frustrated them, there was always a chance of getting something at the end, as Southampton did in the 76 Cup Final.
Thing was, Docherty was sacked for 'other things' before the media, United and their fans had the chance to find him out to be full of shite... the last thing he did for them was win the FA Cup, so for years until Ferguson, they looked back on him as a kind of golden era. Had he stayed, they would never have won the league, and would have slipped further back into mid-table obscurity that would have seen him gone 3 or 4 years later anyway.
Assuming Rogers doesn't shag any of his staff's wives, I expect the same to happen to him by the end of the decade. I love it that LFC fans think they're on the verge of a golden era to match the 1980s.
