Five things to expect from Leicester City under Brendan Rodgers

Press conferences to die for

Like Arsene Wenger, Brendan Rodgers has a way with words. He is a master of the art of ingratiation, and boy can he make you fall in love in the space of ten seconds.

Here’s a selection of some of his famous quotes to make you go gaga over the 46-year old:

"“When you’ve got the ball 65-70 percent of the time, it’s a football death for the other team. We’re not at that stage yet, but that’s what we will get to. It’s death by football. You just suck the life out of them.”"

"“The problem with being a manager is it’s like trying to build an aircraft while it is flying.”"

"“It is great for the public here at Sunderland to see us. They must have been wondering what this team everyone is talking about are all about and now they have seen. We were wonderful.”"

"“I believe a young player will run through a barbed wire fence for you. An older player looks for a hole in the fence.”"

"“I think there’s three players who will let us down this year — the cause, the fight, everything – and I have written them down already in these three envelopes. Make sure you are not in one of the envelopes.”"

"“I’ve always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can’t live for a second without hope.”"

"“I use a quote with the players,’Per aspera ad astra’, which is Latin for ‘through adversity to the stars.’”"

"“I always say a squad is like a good meal. I’m not a great cook, but a good meal takes a wee bit of time. But also, to offer a good meal, you need good ingredients.”"

What a man. This is going to be one hell of a ride.
