Jamie Redknapp: 'Liverpool face uncertain future'

Liverpool could be facing the "toughest season in many, many years" next campaign, says Jamie Redknapp.

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes that the club could be in for a tough campaign next year.

The Reds finished sixth in the Premier League following Sunday's 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Stoke City, and questions are being asked of manager Brendan Rodgers.

Redknapp told Sky Sports News: "It's going to be a difficult summer. [Steven] Gerrard is leaving, you're going to have the Raheem Sterling debacle, which is going to run and run and run, then what do you do with Mario Balotelli? Keep him or sell him?

"It's going to be the toughest season for Liverpool in many, many years. There are so many players I feel aren't good enough to play for Liverpool and maybe their future isn't there, but how do you get them out of the door and then get the right players to come in?

"If you think Rodgers is the right man, do you trust him with another £100m? That's a problem for him because the recruitment this year hasn't really worked, the players they've bought in haven't been of the top level of the players who have gone out."

Rodgers said that he would stand aside if the board wants him to leave after a disappointing campaign.
