Just played a clip of his interview they played on talksport apparently this morning.
He said that his agent informed him there could be a deal to go to the Albion on the last day of the window, however later his agent said it was all off. Albrighton then trained with us & spoke to Rodgers after the training & it was Rodgers who said “leave it with me I’ll sort something out”

Sounds like Rodgers could hardly wait to ship him out.
Then again:
I vaguely remember an interview with Rodgers from a couple of years ago or so. I think he praised Albrighton's attitude and training despite often not playing and being sad/unhappy about it. Maybe Rodgers felt an obligation towards him after years and years of dependable service and good attitude?
