oxtonfox Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 Brendan has had his time with us and done well in the first 2 and a bit seasons but the trajectory sine the FA Cup win has been a slow downward spiral. Now it’s slipping badly, he’s lost his drive, players are bored of him, maybe they are hearing him but they’re not listening. Relegation will be the board’s fear, especially with expansion and the training ground in the background. I reckon if we don’t win one of the next two league games they will sack him before Villa in the hope we get a turnaround over the International break.

st albans fox Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 Did spurs approach potter last season? I don’t recall hearing that he’d received a new improved contract from brighton on the back of spurs interest Rodgers used arsenals enquiry to get a whopping new deal …. Doesn’t look like potter is cut from the same cloth … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever people think of him, the time for him leaving Brighton to come here has well and truly been and gone. What on earth would the attraction be? Sadly that goes for any future manager. An aspiring lower league manager is perhaps the best we can hope for or an unemployed doubtful individual from abroad who fancies a decent pay packet and doesn't care about the risk.

CalH Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 Cambiasso as interim? From abroad but definitely not doubtful . Also had a good relationship with Khun Vichai and Khun Top. Maybe Jamie would also get on better with him these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finances - Rich Sponsors - Rich, secure and Legit Stadium - Renowned for being modern and amazing Recruitment - How we used to be Manager - On the up Location - Basically got a ginormous catchment area for fans with little competition. Also, it’s nice down there Were on the same level as them, we’ve had some incredible success, but currently we’re neck and neck and they’re getting a head start currently on being the next “surprise top 6 package” or “potential cup winner” By the way none of that rules out us actually attracting him… we clearly offer ridiculous money Nonsense-Leicester has a much longer pedigree and a romantic backstory to boot. There’s realism and there’s deliberately putting yourself down because you feel down. You’ve fallen into the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't lose all of the next tough looking four fixtures against Mancs, Brighton, Villa and Spurs and gain at least one win against one of them, then I think he'll possibly be given longer. If we don't (and lose the lot), he won't basically and it would be ironic if a potential defeat v Forest ultimately cost him his job in the fifth league game to come - especially after our v.abject performance against them in last season's FA Cup of course! If he gets that long it's too late and we'll be saying hello to the championship next season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFox Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 Shakespeare got sacked after 1 win in 11 league games over the course of two seasons. Ranieri got sacked after 1 win in 10 league games Puel got sacked after 1 win in 8 league games ( Newport was in that run too obviously) On past form Rodgers is getting sacked if we haven’t won before playing Forest/ losing to Forest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season so far illustrates the unpredictability of the league though - re say Man Utd's awful start to it against Brighton and Brentford but then beating Liverpool (and Southampton today)! I appreciate we haven't got the same quality on the pitch to call on as they to turn things around in a flash like they have though - and with an unenviable looking set of five fixtures to come lying in wait then if they have the predictable outcome then I'd be amazed if Brendan was still in charge by October 4th! If it does pan out that way in that we continue our current bad up to early October then whether he'll be gone anytime before October remains to be seen I suppose re the manner of our performances perhaps, rather than the actual results.....!

whetstonefox Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 I think the Villa game will determine any changes if we have not picked up anymore points by then. Losing to United even in their current mess is no sackable offence and Brighton are a decent team. Lose at home to Villa though and those alarms bells will be clanging towards the owners.

TeamRocket Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 Hope he just goes, never been so disappointed with a manger this much. Really hate how we don't have the fearless attitude and the foxes never quit mentality. Now it just feels like no one wants to be here anymore. Hate how what NP built just gone, not saying I want him back (but at this rate il take him) but instead of building on the foundation like CR and so on did for abit, it's like he just taking each brick away and destroying everything. We had passion and when the owner had big dreams for this club but don't understand why we are settling to being that team who lost everything. Dunno why am even typing this guess just feeling down 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 It’s got to only be about money now as to why Rodgers is still in a job. I refuse to believe that there are members of that board sat there hoping he will turn things around. That hope is long gone. They have to want him out as much as the majority of fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 I think he'll be sacked after Brighton if there is no improvement, too much transfer activity this week to make the change and 2 games in quick succession immediately afterward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s taken on coaching roles but I’m oblivious to any managerial role he’s had - mainly because he doesn’t yet possess the requisite qualification - which bars him from managing in the Prem. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’d make a spectacular manager and would adore to see him here. If I’m mistaken, I’d love to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
