Brendan Rodgers wants to change Liverpool history

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he wants to help change the club's history.

The former Swansea City boss took over from Kenny Dalglish last month after a successful debut season in the Premier League with the Welsh club.

Now, Rodgers is looking to make a difference with the Reds, and has admitted that he has been inspired by some members of the side's past.

"This is a real footballing institution," Rodgers told talkSPORT.

"I walk in every day to the training ground here and you've got the European Cup, a little bust of Bill Shankly, and as I sit in my office I've got a great photograph of some of the great players and managers of the past. For me, I embrace that because it is very inspirational and in no way intimidating.

"I'm just looking forward to playing a part in hopefully changing the history of the club."

Rodgers also stated that striker Luis Suarez would be staying at Anfield.
