Swansea's Taylor: Rodgers had to take Liverpool job

Swansea City defender Neil Taylor says he doesn't blame manager Brendan Rodgers for departing to take the Liverpool job.

The Welsh left-back admits he is disappointed to see Rodgers go but feels the appointment at a big club like Liverpool is a reward for all of his hard work at the Liberty Stadium.

"Obviously the reaction to Brendan's departure at first is of disappointment as players of Swansea we were lucky to work with him, but when you think about Brendan himself and what he has done we are all really, really happy for him," Taylor told Sky Sports.

"It is a great move for him. Liverpool Football Club speaks for itself and I think for him to get offered a job like that it's a no-brainer for him and we wish him well.

"In terms of the last two years I think Brendan himself and the players would all admit it has been a wonderful two years."
