Well played all round.
Lots of Liverpool fans like Brendan Rodgers, but other football fans (including Liverpool fans) think that he comes out with stuff that is just a little over the top and even cringeworthy on occasion.
As a result, the Liverpool boss is the subject of numerous parody accounts on Twitter, including arguably the most popular one of all, Deluded Brendan.
The person behind the account decided to have a bit of fun with the Royal Mail today when wondering what happened to Rodgers’ application for the Real Madrid job, a job that went to former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.
Hi @RoyalMail
Got a serious issue. Could you help please?

@DeludedBrendan Hello, we will try to help, can you send me some details please?

The Royal Mail account was as helpful as they would be to any consumer seeking help and even suggested that Brendan might be interested in a new job closer to home seeing as the Madrid post was taken.
.@RoyalMail I sent an app form to Real Madrid and I've just seen Benitez has got the job. I can only assume my app got lost in the post?

@DeludedBrendan Have you thought about staying local? http://t.co/uyAZsvCEfu

Deluded Brendan had the last word, finishing with a line that was classic Rodgers.
.@RoyalMail Thanks Royal Mail, you've showed great character.
