Brendan Rodgers will be confirmed as the new Liverpool manager just as soon as the club's owners Fenway Sports Group agree on a compensation package with Swansea.
The 39-year-old was offered the job, believed to be on a three-year contract, after talks with FSG on Wednesday afternoon and he returned to south Wales to tell chairman Huw Jenkins he wanted to take up their offer.
Will Liverpool fans be happy?
Is Rodgers going to walk into the legend of a stadium that is Anfield - known for Shankly, Fagan, Paisley, Dalglish, (the list goes on and on) - and stamp his authority on the club?
Or will he look up that plaque in the tunnel "THIS IS ANFIELD" ... and shit his pants?
It is anticipated Liverpool will have to pay between £4million and £5million as Rodgers only signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract in February.
A resolution is expected to be found within the next 24 hours with the Northern Irishman likely to be presented as successor to Kenny Dalglish on Friday.
Huw Jenkins: "I was contacted by Liverpool last night and they expressed their wish to speak to Brendan regarding their vacancy
"I had a discussion with Brendan to talk about their interest and his views on whether he wanted to speak to Liverpool.
"He expressed his wish with me to do that and he has spoken to Liverpool today.
"Following on from discussions with Liverpool's owners, Brendan has informed us that he would like to take up their offer to manage Liverpool.
"At the moment we are currently in talks with the owners to agree compensation.
"We are trying to finalise that within the next 24 hours."
