It’s the kind of perfect storm brewing for Brendan Rodgers that has derailed other Liverpool managers as well.
Inherited ‘issues’ at Anfield do not allow any breathing space for the new manager.
Luis Suarez was the lynch pin for Kenny Dalglish who stood by the much-maligned striker through thick, thin and racial abuse.
It may have been a factor in Dalglish getting the sack.
Now the Metro has raised the prospect for Suarez's future at Liverpool being at risk.
Suarez was suspended for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.
Juventus remain interested in the Uruguayan Suarez.
Liverpool are already planning for life without Suarez and are on the trail of Schalke's prolific frontman Huntelaar, according to Tuttosport.
What’s worse is that Rodgers who had his eyes firmly set on Gylfi Sigurdsson may not get him as well..
Rodgers has been on an ambitious buying spree and the Icelandic midfielder Sigurdsson topped that list.
The Liverpool revolution, as this website has dubbed Rodgers’ plans, has hit an iceberg.
According to reports in the British press, Tottenham are now in pole position to snatch Sigurdsson from Anfield.
Liverpool have three days more to complete the Sigurdsson deal, but The Sun today reported that Spurs believe their £8million bid has been accepted by Hoffenheim.
It’s Sigurdsson’s wage demands that have been cited as the problem, but surely the Fenway Sports Group, owners of Liverpool know that a revolution costs money.
