Brendan Rodgers has admitted he had a 'lucky escape' when he rejected Tottenham to become Liverpool manager. When Rodgers was Swansea manager, he was firmly in the frame to succeed Harry Redknapp and had a number of admirers at White Hart Lane. But instead he went with his gut feeling to accept an offer from Fenway Sports Group to take over from Kenny Dalglish at Anfield in June 2012, leaving Tottenham to land Andre Villas-Boas.
