Brendan Rodgers knew he was a dead man walking at Liverpool for over a month, it has been revealed.
Rodgers was sacked by Liverpool on Sunday after their draw at Everton.
The Daily Mail says Rodgers knew after the home draw with Norwich last month that he would be sacked, despite his ongoing public insistence that he was not under pressure.
The atmosphere at Liverpool's Melwood training ground has been dreadful since the 3-1 defeat at Manchester United in September, with players picking up on Rodgers' clear acceptance of his fate.
