Brendan Rodgers dismisses Manchester City link and puts Liverpool first
• Manager says Liverpool is ‘my destination' and plans to build a dynasty
• Brendan Rodgers touted as possible replacement for Manuel Pellegerini
• Blackburn out to ruffle Liverpool feathers after fowl times
Brendan Rodgers said he felt 'great excitement' about Liverpool's future.

Brendan Rodgers has removed his name from the list of candidates who could potentially replace Manuel Pellegrini this summer by declaring his priority is to build a new trophy-winning dynasty at Liverpool.

Pellegrini's position is under scrutiny at Manchester City due to the champions' lack of progress in the Premier League and Champions League, with last Sunday's 2-1 loss at Liverpool undermining their hopes of retaining the title.

While Pep Guardiola would be first choice for any leading club should he decide to leave Bayern Munich, he has ruled out departing the Allianz Arena this summer. Rodgers also fits the criteria of an attacking, possession-minded coach that City's chief executive Ferran Soriano and director of football Txiki Begiristain want at the Etihad Stadium.

The Liverpool manager has been touted as a possible replacement for Pellegrini since City's defeat at Anfield, and has been courted by the reigning Premier League champions previously, but moved quickly to quash talk of any possible move. Liverpool host Blackburn Rovers in their FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday having hauled themselves back into contention for a Champions League place and Rodgers believes he is close to delivering long-term success to Anfield.

"That doesn't distract me," he said of the City link. "I chose to come to Liverpool because I hoped I could be here for many years. The speculation is just the nature of football I think. I remember earlier this season playing Ludogorets away and as I walked off I saw a banner that said ‘Rodgers Out' so I never get too carried away. I always have that in the back of my mind, although it was near the dug-out and wasn't someone with the away supporters. As long as the people here at Liverpool, the board, the supporters and the players are ultimately happy with the work, I would love to be here for as long as I can.

"We are working into an exciting phase after this season where hopefully, if we get young players tied to contracts, that will allow us to win trophies with this way of working. We're on the way there and it's about making the steps to challenge for major honours consistently and to win them. That's what we want to do."

Rodgers is under contract at Liverpool until 2018 having signed a new four-year deal last May but has never stayed in any coaching position longer than three years. Next season will be his fourth as Liverpool manager but he insists Anfield represents "a destination" rather than a staging post in his career.

He explained: "If I'm here after this year, and touch wood I go into the fourth year, this will be the longest period in any role I've been in football. After three years I've always moved a role or a job, from youth football right the way through. But I've always seen Liverpool as a club that, all being well, was going to be a destination for me not somewhere that was part of the journey.

"I really wanted to be here, to follow some incredible managers with a support that is unrivalled, and to have success knowing that I was young enough to create and build something. That is why I came here. I know I need to justify that by working well and winning trophies and hopefully that is the next step.

"For me there is great excitement at Liverpool with the young players coming through, with the development of the stadium, more supporters coming in because of that, and travelling the world promoting the club."

Asked if he could envisage himself working for another English club, Rodgers replied: "Where do you go from Liverpool, one of the biggest clubs in the world? It is all hypothetical, Liverpool might sack me and then I need to be in work, but I've signed a deal here and hopefully I'll earn enough time to warrant another one."
 
Liverpool is the only English club for me, insists Reds manager Brendan Rodgers
Brendan Rodgers has admitted it would be ‘very difficult' for him to manage another English club as he stated his ambition to create an Anfield dynasty.
Having overseen a dramatic transformation in Liverpool's season, Rodgers' star is ascending once more and it has been speculated that he would be high on Manchester City's wish-list if Manuel Pellegrini does not survive the end of this campaign.
Rodgers, however, has not been distracted by such talk as he is concentrating on making sure Liverpool fulfil the potential they have shown since he switched their system to 3-4-3 by finishing in the top four and winning silverware this season.

He signed a long-term contract extension last May and is focused on seeing the project through, with beating Blackburn at Anfield on Sunday and securing Liverpool's first trip to Wembley since May 2012 the first target.
‘Where do you go from Liverpool, one of the biggest clubs in the world?' said Rodgers. ‘You know when you join Liverpool you're never going to manage Manchester United. You join Tottenham or Arsenal, the reality is you won't do the other. You manage Swansea, you won't manage Cardiff.
‘That is all hypothetical. Liverpool might sack me and then I need to be in work.
‘I've signed a deal here and I want to be here to see that through. Then, hopefully, I've earned enough time to warrant another deal, to keep growing and building here.
‘If I'm here after this year, it will be the longest period in any role I've been in football. I've always been the same. After three years, I've always moved a role or job.
‘I always saw Liverpool as a club that was going to be a destination for me, not somewhere that was part of the journey.
‘I really wanted to be here, follow some incredible managers with a support that is unrivalled, and to have success while knowing I was young enough to create and build something. That is why I came here. I know I need to justify that by working well and winning trophies. I hope that is the next step.
‘When you come here, that is what you are judged on. It is something (win trophies) I want to do for all the supporters and people here.'
Steven Gerrard could come back into the squad on Sunday if he shows he has fully recovered from the hamstring problem that has sidelined the 34-year-old for the last three weeks but, Rodgers says, there is no certainty the midfielder will go straight back into the starting line-up.
‘No one in the squad has a God-given right to walk back into the team,' said Rodgers.
‘I have shown if players are performing well, irrespective of status or price, they play - simple as that.
‘The main thing is having him available. Having him back would make us a better squad.



 
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists leaving for another English club is not a possibility and he aims to be at Anfield for the long term.

Rodgers' current Liverpool contract expires in 2018 - and the Northern Irishman has been linked, by the national press, with Manchester City if Manuel Pellegrini was to leave the Premier League champions.

But Rodgers said: "I've signed a deal here, and I want to be here to see that through.
