Charlie Adam reveals why he left Liverpool for Stoke City

Charlie Adam has revealed that former Liverpool manager Brendan Rogers made it clear he needed to find a new club prior to arrival at Stoke City.

The Scotland midfielder joined Liverpool from Blackpool for £6.75m when Reds legend Kenny Dalglish was in charge at the club back in 2012.

But Dalglish was gone soon after to be replaced by Rogers and Adam fell out of favour at Anfield, struggling for regular first team action.

In the end, the 31-year-old felt he had no choice but to make the move to the Potteries and he had no regrets regarding that decision five years on.

“It was difficult because Kenny was the manager who brought me in and him and Steve Clarke were great. Then you have a new manager to try to impress,” he explained.

“But the writing was on the wall and he told me I needed to find a new club. Stoke came in and got me and I moved probably one year too early.

“I probably should have stuck and tried to change his mind but I’m the kind of person who wants to play and thought it was the right thing to do.

“It wasn’t to be, I moved on and I feel like I’ve had a good career after that.”
