future at the club is in doubt after Steven
Gerrard's
defeat.
The Reds said goodbye to captain Gerrard with a
6-1 thrashing at Stoke to finish sixth in the
Premier League.
"I've always said if the owners want me to go, then
I go," said Rodgers, who has won two of his last
nine games.
"For everybody connected with Liverpool, we are
all embarrassed by that result."
It was the first time in 52 years the Reds had let in
six goals in the league but Rodgers, 42, insisted
he still has "a lot to offer the club", despite
winning no silverware during his three years in
charge.
Liverpool must also now go through two qualifying
rounds if they are to compete in the group stage of
next season's Europa League.
"A lot has happened this year which has made the
job difficult," added Rodgers, who guided the Reds
to second place last season.
"Last season, when things were working well, we
had the support of everyone but performances like
today do not help that and I fully understand that.
"The fans deserve an apology. They were angry at
half-time - and rightly so - because that was
awful, absolutely awful.
"They have every right to be angry and frustrated
and of course I take full responsibility for that as
the manager."
