Brendan Rodgers storms out of press conference following ‘disrespectful’ question
Brendan Rodgers, the former manager of Celtic, reportedly stormed out of his post-game press conference over the weekend.

After Leicester City's worst start to a top-flight season since 1983, the former Liverpool player is facing mounting pressure.

Only ten points have been earned by the Foxes from their opening ten games.

The most recent outcome was a challenging 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace at home on Saturday.

On Thursday night, they take on Leeds, and Rodgers is hoping for a much-needed victory.

However, it seems that some aspects of the pressure are starting to annoy Rodgers.

He was questioned on Saturday on the rumours that it would be too expensive for Leicester to fire him.

He was understandably unhappy. He responded: “I have read on the news what I am supposed to be on and I know for sure that is a total fabrication. It’s nowhere near.

“I actually think it is a disrespectful question, very disrespectful. I never asked you how much money you are on or whether there is any blockage in your role from your owners.

I don’t think you need to worry about my wages. If there is a stumbling block in anything, you need to ask the owners that. It’s a disgraceful question.”

He continued before terminating the interview, according to the Daily Telegraph.

It is claimed that it would cost the Foxes around £10 million in compensation to remove Rodgers from his position.
