Liverpool boss’s secret visits to love split mum

FOOTIE boss Brendan Rodgers has befriended a mum in the middle of a split from her Liverpool fan husband.

The Reds manager, a dad of two, is a regular visitor to the home of 31-year-old Charlotte Hind, previously a travel co-ordinator for the Premier League club.

She recently split with her husband of five years Steven, saying she wanted a divorce “as quickly as possible”.

Neighbours said married Rodgers, 40, has been parking his Porsche sports car near the £210,000 rented home Charlotte shares with her 15-month-old daughter Lola.

Witnesses in posh Birkdale, Merseyside, said he usually stayed for around 90 minutes and had visited early in the morning and evening.

Rodgers — who shares a mansion in Formby with wife Susan — is understood to have made at least 12 visits in the past month.

“I’m not sure what’s going on, but he’s been round to her house on a regular basis for the past few weeks. He parks round the corner and is pretty recognisable on Merseyside.”

Last night Northern Ireland-born Rodgers — previously in charge at Watford, Reading and Swansea — refused to say why he had been seeing Charlotte and denied anything improper. A spokesman for the manager said: “He is not and never has been in a relationship with Miss Hind.”

Approached by The Sun, Charlotte denied the boss had visited her detached home and claimed neighbours were “mistaken”. She said: “They must have got him mistaken with someone.”

Salesman Steven, 31 and a Liverpool season ticket-holder, was stunned to learn of his wife’s friendship last night.

He was just saying that sometimes if you aim for two points and you end up with one point then it can cause you a problem. It's when you're aiming for three points and you end up with one point and then two points that you really need to start worrying though. If you pick up the one point before the two points you can then leave yourself exposed when you're looking for the next three points and end up with no points.

Yes, but look at the particular fixtures in the five game period he highlighted. It's not a general principle of '2 points a game can get you to a CL spot', he's isolating that particular sequence of easily winnable games (besides the Derby). If I was a Kopite and read that I'd be wondering why the manager of my 'CL spot chasing club' was not looking for easily 12 (possibly 13 or the full 15 points given our woeful Derby record).

In light of that I'd also wonder what Brendan's target is for the next five match bloc: Spurs (A), Cardiff (H), City (A), Chelsea (A), Hull (H). Between 4 and 6 points I'd guess.

I was trying to make it like his mindless nonsense when he talks about the three midfield positions with the one and the two or the two and the one. Don't even know the maths of what I wrote. I think there's a possibility you might be reading too much into what Brendan Rodgers says dave, he's from the Moyes school of just saying whatever he hopes will sound reasonable and intelligent at the time.

Maybe it was a 'three envelopes' type statement again, you could be right. But I'd hazard a guess and say he actually did have that total in mind for those games. I think he's got an unjust reputation as a manager who'll go for it (getting equal plaudits with Martinez last week for 'going all out for the win', for example). I think he's naturally the opposite though. Their 2nd half collapses this year tell a story. They get very tight and edgy. That's what I'm driving at. He'd still be playing Allen anchoring midfield and retaining the ball in their own half for 10 minute stretches if Gerrard hadn't put his foot down.
 

I've always been a fan of our simplicity against their complex banners and toe curling hero worship.

Just seen this from Sharpy's top lip.
