Irishman was on the Blues' wanted record this past year - while Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez can also be in the frame Ian Horrocks Brendan Rodgers is the surprise title in the body to replace Roberto Mancini as Manchester City manager, creates the Sunday People. The Liverpool employer has significant behind-the-scenes support at the Etihad despite a hit-and-miss first season at Anfield. The Blues power-brokers feel the 40-year-old Irishman fulfils most of the criteria they think necessary a' like a willingness to body small players early, media skills, and European experience a' and the ace in his pack is he is proficient in both English and Spanish. Rodgers was Cityas first decision this past year when he was at Swansea and Mancini was on the rules a' ahead of the dramatic recovery that saw his part topped Premier League champions. Now the Irishman is straight back on City radar, with Mancini maybe not safe even when he wins the FA Cup the following month. Rodgers has two years left on his Liverpool contract so City would need to pay compensation a but that wonat discourage them. Chelsea Employer Rafa Benitez can be a live contender for the City post a' sources near to the Spaniard say he is determined for the task. But itas the search for Rodgers, only a year in to his Liverpool profession, that'll increase most eyebrows.
