The shear amount we pay Rodgers has tied our hands and influenced decisions based on financial pragmatism as opposed to what was better for the club.

Those 2 seasons were never described as being a 4 horse race. We were never seen as a sure thing to be in the top 4. Us and Tottenham were so far ahead of the chasing pack for a long time that it literally was just the 2 teams and spurs still bottled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't we 12 points clear of 5th at one point? Edited 22 August 2022 by foxfanazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before I do like him and he turned Spurs into a good side. But I don’t think people are turning their noses up at that, as you put it, people like me find it ironic to jump from one “bottler” to another.

dylanlegend Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 If it wasn’t for his big contract, he’d be gone by now. We haven’t been the same since the Arsenal interest and his new deal, was brilliant before then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wurmer Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 I'd be amazed if they sacked him - don't think he's going anywhere soon. Unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyTennis? Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 (edited) Want him to go now, but will always appreciate Europe, the FA Cup, etc. The issue is, his flaws have come to overwhelm his strengths and I don't believe (does anyone?) he can return us to an upward trajectory. He is just too rigid in his team selection and strategy; his man-management is supposed to be good, but his tactical coaching is weak and the team has become more fragile and panicky as a result. We used to see that sometimes, now we see it all the time. What I really hope, is that while we are whining away, the club are actively lining up replacements, looking ahead and putting a deal in place. If the ambition that KP have for the club is real, we should absolutely to be talking to managers at Poch's level now.

I think we just want a manager that wants to be here again, a manager that wants to make us the best team we can be. Not someone who messed up 4th place the first time round, costing him the Man Utd job, then messed it up the second time, costing him.... the Man Utd job. His escape plan has failed misserably and he's stuck with us and we are stuck with him (for now) Moving for Poch would see exactly the same thing happen. We need someone young and exciting who wants to succeed and create something, i'd personally even start looking at Assistant Managers/Coaches who are making a bit of noise around themselves, similarly some managers in the Championship/abroad who are just starting out. We need a reset and to do that we need someone who would do anything to get this job. That's why you will start to see people leaning towards a Dyche, or other less fancied/obvious choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres always some herbert that gets too excited by these rumours and slings 100 or so on hoping to get in on 4/1 early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
