After an indifferent start to the season Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has received the backing of Reds chief executive Ian Ayre, who is adamant the board never considered the manager's position under threat. Ayre told Sky Sports News HQ: "There was no speculation on our part. Lose a few games and the whole world turns but certainly not within this football club and our fan base.
"The manager has great support, we work as one team, we are all together, nobody's running scared and we are very pleased."
