John Motson: There's a conspiracy against Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers

John Motson believes there is a media conspiracy against Brendan Rodgers

FOOTBALL commentator John Motson believes Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is the subject of a media conspiracy against him.

 

Under pressure Rodgers has been criticised after his Reds side won just two in their opening six Premier League fixtures. 

While Liverpool came close to winning the title in 2014, they have yet to replicate that form.

 

And with Rodgers' future possibly in doubt, Jurgen Klopp has been touted as a potential replacement. 

However, Motson believes there is an agenda against Rodgers at Anfield. 

 

"Every time I read an article about Liverpool, there's somebody digging away at him," Motson told 5Live. 

"If we can put things in perspective, two years ago he nearly won the league.

"What do Liverpool seriously expect? They haven't won the league for over 20 years. 

"I think there's an agenda there, and I think there's certain people driving it."
