Michael Owen makes Brendan Rodgers 'resigned' claim as former Liverpool boss in troubled waters

Michael Owen has claimed Brendan Rodgers is unhappy with the ambition of Leicester City and wants to manage a club like Liverpool, Arsenal or Tottenham.

The former Reds manager has had a woeful start to the new campaign at the King Power Stadium, losing both Kasper Schmeichel and Wesley Fofana amid one point and no wins in his opening six games - leaving him bottom of the Premier League table. The 49-year-old has cut a resigned figure in recent weeks as those in charge of the club cut spending to balance the books.

A combination of poor on-field performances and the obvious disquiet off the pitch has led to concern that Rodgers could part ways with the Foxes sooner rather than later, and ex-Liverpool striker Owen has echoed the consensus that the Northern Irishman is unhappy and expects more from those above him.
