Liverpool manager suffered defeat by Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Sunday Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been convicted of leaving a property to rot after he was fined for the condition of a house he rented out which was left in a state of disrepair for three years.The Anfield boss was ordered to pay £400 and £375 costs, with a £40 surcharge at Blackburn magistrates' court for leaving a £69,950 terrace house in Accrington with broken windows and doors and rubbish strewn across the garden.Rodgers - whose Liverpool side crashed out of the FA Cup on Sunday in a 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa - and his business partner Judith O'Hagan were found guilty of ignoring an improvement notice issued by Hyndburn Council. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been convicted of leaving a property in Accrington to rot Rodgers had been told to fix the windows, doors and roof, and to remove the rubbish from the house's gardenThe pair had been ordered to fix the windows, doors and roof, and to remove the rubbish, but the house was left to rot.
Both Rodgers and O'Hagan, who bought the property in August 2007, were absent when found guilty at Blackburn magistrates' court.Local neighbours and former tenants of the property have criticised the failure to maintain the property.The house is located in an area of Accrington which is undergoing a £13million regeneration project to sort out over 200 derelict empty properties.Former Deputy leader of Hyndburn Council, Clare Pritchard, said at an earlier stage of the project: 'We are working with PlaceFirst on a major regeneration project to bring over 200 derelict empty properties back in to use in Woodnook within the next three years.'As an authority we take a tough line on people who fail to bring their properties into repair and this strong enforcement policy will play a part of the regeneration of the area.'
