lennybhoy Posted 1 December 2019 Share Posted 1 December 2019 Rodgers could easily of put this to bed,he has not.This guy has form with Celtic.Yes,I’m delighted with the way we have been playing etc but would I be surprised if he was not manager by wed night..No. On the other hand if he leaves,how could any potential club trust this guy .Even in the cut throat business of football,he’s name and integrity would be very questionable.Im hoping he’s looking at the bigger picture and seeing the potential and time ,he will undoubtedly get from the owners of Leicester.

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 1 December 2019 Share Posted 1 December 2019 I don’t see him leaving tbh, not do I think it’s cut and dried he’ll be offered it. What would concern me though is he’s been probed on it in a few interviews now and for someone who communicates very well with the media he’s elected to skim round the subject and not rule it out. All he has to say is Arsenal are a great club but I’ve got a job on my hands at Leicester I’m relishing so I won’t be leaving here anytime soon. He hasn’t though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ex-Liverpool manager who went on to manage the irredeemable enemy would surely have a death wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 1 December 2019 Share Posted 1 December 2019 I took that interview completely differently to you lot. I'm pretty sure that's his way if saying he's going nowhere. He's happy here, only just came and like him the clubs ambitious. He wants to cement us a a champions league team 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a job available now and he's still saying it. Plus he's been here a short time, achieved nothing and he came for a reason, can't see him jumping shit so quick.

I’m not arguing the detail or logistics of why he would or wouldnt leave, I’m simply interpreting what he’s said and from what I can see he’s been given the chance to rule it out bluntly and hasn’t as yet. Like I said I don’t think he’ll go but he could stop all the speculation by publicly ruling himself out, he hasn’t hence it’s a bit of a media frenzy at the moment with it.

EverybodyDannsNow Posted 1 December 2019 Share Posted 1 December 2019 There’s a lot of unnecessary worrying in this thread. There is no way on earth he leaves Leicester for Arsenal midway through his first full season in charge whilst sitting 13 points above them in the table. No manager can come out and firmly say “no, not interested, not happening” because comments can always be used against you in the future and affect boardroom decisions. The stock answers he’s delivering are common practice for all managers and are of absolutely no concern to me. I’m sure he will move on to a bigger job at some point but not yet. It’s way too soon. He still has a lot of work to do here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manini Posted 1 December 2019 Share Posted 1 December 2019 (edited) I think an important thing to remember is that if his release clause is £14 million as it’s been reported, that’s a LOT of money to pay for a manager, before you’ve discussed wages and before you’ve discussed a transfer budget for January. There’s a couple of very high profile managers who are out of work who they’d be able to land without having to pay another club out. Does it make business sense to pay £14 million pounds for a manager who, in respect to somebody like Alegri, has won very little?

Well at Celtic when he was linked with the West Ham job he did, he came out and said he’s in his dream job and there’d be no club in the world who could tempt him at that point in time. When the Leicester job came up his narrative was a lot more vague, similar to it is here, hence my slight concern. Like I said I’d be really surprised if he jumped ship just now though, would be a huge gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Syrup Posted 1 December 2019 Share Posted 1 December 2019 Maybe he doesn't want to burn any bridges in the future by dismissing Arsenal, keeping future options open if and when they arise, so being coy about the speculation is the way he's going in interviews. He said he enjoys being here and its a long term project. You would think getting Leicester as a consistent top 6 team in a competitive league, plus with Europe as well, would look great on his CV rather than jumping ship if one of the so called 'big teams' comes calling. The grass isn't always greener elsewhere. Its just the rags, Sky and lemons like Savage and Sutton stirring the pot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
