A tribute to the departing Brendan Rodgers

We at the Busby Babe will miss Brendan Rodgers, who yesterday evening was sacked as manager of Liverpool Football Club. We will miss his inability to organise a defence. We will miss his remarkable nous in the transfer market. But most of all, we will miss the things that he says.

You may be aware of the writer Daniel Harris, author of several books about Manchester United. When he's not writing those, however, he's undertaking much more serious work, using Twitter to archive Rodgers' various pronouncements on the two most important subjects in the world: football, and Brendan Rodgers.

The full series is available here, but below are some of our favourites:

Brendan on the time-space continuum: "We are trying to build for the future with a sense of the present".

Brendan on Brendan: "I think I've shown that I'm an offensive coach."

Brendan on things about which he can't possibly know: "There's a feel of the old Liverpool about the place".

Brendan on how cup competitions work: "You get through each game and it optimises your chance of getting to the final."

Brendan on Columbus: "If we can regroup, get some quality starters in for the summer, we can go on another great adventure next season".

Brendan on Brendan: "I am the same guy who nearly won us the league, but better".
