Write that down...After weeks of speculation, which was mostly ignored around these parts, the News Desk can confirm that there are very reputable, though still unconfirmed reports, that it will be Brendan Rodgers who’ll be sitting pretty in the Liverpool hot-seat next season after agreeing to a 3 year deal with the Anfield outfit.
