Absolutely nailed it with Celtic and Leicester really. I really at this point just think he's a complete fraud. He's been badly found out. Can see a Villa or someone falling for it though. Puel had actually assembled a decent team. He just didn’t know what to do with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVFox Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 If you look at the talent in the squad, players like Soyuncu, Ndidi, Youri, Barnes are no doubt good footballers but Rodgers is getting close to bugger all out of all of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 We should have parted ways at the end of last season, the sooner he gets sacked the better. I would rather play like Fulham and be direct then have 80 percent possession doing f**k all with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachyboy Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 Surely there has to be a cheaper way to deal with this issue of Rogers than sacking him, does he want his next job to be Norwich? Is what I'd be saying to him, it's mutually beneficial for the team to find winning ways whilst also planning the exit strategy of Rogers which suits both parties, even if we finished 14th that ends his top half premiership career for me.

If you were that close to someone and had their ear, and went to them with your concerns, only for those concerns to be noted but not acted upon, there will have to be a reason why your friend would fail to take your advice. The friend would a) see things differently, and continue what he is doing. B) continue the process, but put in a timeline. C) act on the information received and hope that he has made the right choice. We may all be un-aware of the exact extent of our finances, that we cannot afford to pay off the severance which would be owed to Rodgers and his team, as it is a sizeable amount. The chances are he( Rodgers) may have now become an influential person within Top's circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting so long only prolongs the problem, it suits no one. Unless you are waiting for a nanager you have identified to finish his current contract, then there would be little point in waiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pliskin Posted 21 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 21 August 2022 We see now why Rodgers will never be a consistent top 6 manager. He lacks the personality to do so. Every serial winner has one thing in common, they’re gritty and they’re willing to dabble on the dark arts to win. Brendans philosophy is too clean, it lacks aggression, it lacks imagination and it lacks balls. He’s a great manager when tails are up and times are good, but as soon as the chips are down he isn’t capable of turning it around. He is done here, and the club have not got to change their approach to hiring managers….. we need a manager with a bit of Steele about them. Someone who will say the odd controversial comment to protect the club. Send the players out with some fire in their bellies…. Brendan just can’t do that. Even Ralph yesterday was getting stuck into his players, shouting at them showing that he gave a ****. Brendan just stands there and claps when you’ve just gone 2-1 down………. He’s an absolute flannel. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StonyFox Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 Sack him, pay the compensation that's owed, get someone in who will start involving the players Rodgers refuses too. Praet, soumare, nacho, soyuncu, might be like new signings rather than just expensive squad fillers. His game management is clueless, we can now make 5 subs and yet he's never made more than 3 despite us throwing away two leads and shipping 4 at arsenal. Just the 1 against Brentford despite using fatigue as an excuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent squad and bit of money but somewhere where it’s gone very flat of late. He’d go in there and get a tune out of them this season, then live off that for another couple of years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t really blame the top brass…. On paper Rodgers was a sound choice. He’s proven he’s a good coach and he had proven he’s a manager who’s capable of long term development. His morals and philosophy match that of the owners too. However, he simply doesn’t have the fight to be a consistent top manager. This is the only criticism I have of the board when they go for managers they want to go for a media darlings and someone who has a little bit of fight about them.

Agreed. We are unlikely to get a result at Chelsea whether it is BR or a caretaker manager. we need decisive action now to turn this around. Mentality is so bad.

They wanted Rodgers for ages, they tried to get him before Puel came in but he wasn’t prepared to leave Celtic. But as you rightly point out, it wasn’t the best thing to throw this big contract at him. Not until you’ve seen a manager drag you through a tough period. Ultimately that’s when you learn about your manager, and Brendan have never successfully navigated his way through a difficult period. He’s enduring his second one after Liverpool, and he’s falling flat on his face. All he’s doing is proving he isn’t capable of being a top manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
