No-one knows what will happen in the future. It's a gamble. You have to decide when to hold and when to fold and when to open your hand. And that depends on so many aspects. We don't know the inner thoughts of the Thai's. Only they know what the stakes are and what they see for the club going forward. They're the investors and owners. Ultimately they are extremely successful in business and LCFC like any other PL club, is a business. Profit and loss. They'll know what's financially worse in terms of paying/sacking BR vs relegation. I believe that they believe we won't be relegated. There's a long way to go. It's frankly scandalous that FT posters are writing us off so soon. I get the frustration and I feel it too but c'mon. The writing off isn’t coming from the first games of this season, the stats all point to us being in a serious bad form. I can’t understand when all the facts point to one conclusion, they wouldn’t see the potential writing on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, as fans want the best, of course we do but ultimately it comes down to, often heartless, business decisions. They will always have the option to sell and walk away. Successful business people are ruthless in protecting their money. For all that the Thai's have given us, they could walk away tomorrow and move on to some other project. Do you think the investors in NUFC, MCFC, MUFC, et al, are really that passionate about football? Money, money money. Every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know and agree it was more a reaction to people suggesting we were going to get relegated than about rodgers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaMen Tom Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 2 hours ago, justfoxes said: Listening to the talk sport post Villa match on way to work all those disgruntled Villa fans wanting Gerrard out and replacing with Pochettino who wants to come back to the Premier League, if we are going to replace Rodgers with anyone at the moment Poch is the top target for me he certainly has the pedigree to take us places so if we are and LCFC are falling out with Rodgers it’s time to give Poch a call before the Vile get in before us?? The problem wth Poch is one 3 game win streak and he'll be linked with whichever big 6 team is struggling. And if he does do a decent job he'll be gone before the next season starts.

At least he'd leave us on a high though, players with their confidence back knowing how to get the best out of eachother, and no viable relegation danger. Maybe the next club would even buy him out of his contract! Imagine that right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to start being a bit smarter with our criticisms, like when you give a really shit employee a reference. I'll try: I'd be very emotional should Rodgers get the sack. Some of the football he's had us playing over the past year has left me genuinely speechless. His approach to defending set pieces is utterly unique and the way our players move off the ball must be seen to be believed. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Villa having that much and his appointment may even convince Youri to stay. Stranger things have happened like Ancelotti going to Everton.

So people hoping villa will buy out Brendan and we will buy out potter/Frank are deluding themselves Off the top of my head, what about Hoddle from Southampton to Spurs?
