Mok Posted 5 September 2022 Share Posted 5 September 2022 1 minute ago, Cardiff_Fox said: Despite COVID, the club achieved their highest ever incoming revenue to date thanks to the higher finish position of 5th plus a FA Cup victory and a season of European football prize money. If we have our highest ever revenue yet still have a huge ratio on wages to turnover - that suggests the wage bill has been poorly managed. It's in the interest of the very senior source to say FFP is the fall guy. The 2 seasons we finshed 5th and winning the FA Cup were badly hit by Covid. You are correct in saying the wages to T/O has been poorly managed, but thats the current predicament we are in If you read Tops notes and understand them its fits in with what ive said. FFP has tied the clubs hands in the short term and they have to ride it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphy Posted 5 September 2022 Share Posted 5 September 2022 I don't see why we are so scared of sacking Rodgers. Yes, it will be expensive but lets look at our recent history. £15m plus wages for Vestergaard who is unplayable (and not in a good way), £20m or so for Soumare, big wages for Bertrand, Soyuncu, Praet and now Castagne falling foul of the manager.... We could go back further to the £50m wasted on Slim and Silva... We burn money on a regular basis, sacking Rodgers would just be one more money bonfire to add to the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kopfkino Posted 5 September 2022 Share Posted 5 September 2022 (edited) The finances will not stop them sacking him. In fact Uefa’s new rules mean sacking him now makes absolute sense and PL FFP we’ll be ok for Edited 5 September 2022 by Kopfkino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James said: Rodgers is the Donald Trump of English football, inept but great at convincing less than full witted people he is a genius and utterly brilliant at avoiding blame for anything! Woah, steady on there cowboy! That's going a tad far! That's an awful lot of us 'less than full witted' people being chucked under a bus there! (to use the popular rhetoric) Rodgers isn't inept. He has however, imho, created a situation that he can't manage. A 'good times' manager perhaps? Edited 5 September 2022 by taupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 5 September 2022 Share Posted 5 September 2022 Honestly, it’s going to be so toxic on Saturday if he is stood there. We’ve had some shit managers in my time as a fan. I was very young when Pleat was here - I didn’t understand it too much. Taylor is the one that sticks out. However, he didn’t make his incredibly daft comments until after he left. Other managers who have failed (Holloway, Levein, Kelly) have never disillusioned the fans with comments. I honestly have no idea how bad Saturday will be. How does this **** come back from this.

Well you might telling this as a joke but from a legal point of view the board has the right to force a temporary contract suspension to a manager for working against the interests of the club.

Shane Posted 5 September 2022 Share Posted 5 September 2022 21 minutes ago, Mok said: Ok , pehaps you know better how is works with UEFA. As i said this is a very senior source who told me about the FFP position and our current plight. The clubs hands are tied. Its that simple. As for Piss poor planning, the reason is COVID............ If it was truly dire we wouldn’t have signed Wout Faes and gave him a 5 year contract, or tried to get Boga on loan who would have added to the wage bill? I’m sure there’s some wiggle room to get rid of Brendan, his staff and get a new manager in. We could put him on gardening leave for a start.

Popular Post murphy Posted 5 September 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 5 September 2022 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Leicester_Loyal said: I'm genuinely amazed it's taken until this week for loads of people to be Rodgers out, the football, the tactics, the bizarre subs, it has been this way for months. Yes, but we had mitigating circumstances last season. A crippling and long running injury crisis, yet still finished 8th. This season is different though. It feels as though Rodgers has checked out, if not acrivly working against the club to get sacked. I know that sounds ludicrous but I wouldn't rule it out. He has fallen out with players, the mood at the club, even during the close season was all wong and we have fallen off a cliff in our performances. This season is very different to last. I was late to join the bandwagon but something has to change now. Edited 5 September 2022 by murphy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dormelcfc Posted 5 September 2022 Share Posted 5 September 2022 Just to maybe relieve some, major journos such as Percy only got wind of Puel's sacking just half an hour before it actually happened. Stay calm everyone, it'll come. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 5 September 2022 Share Posted 5 September 2022 I don't think we are sacking him before Villa. The statement should have been out before the coach left Brighton, but I think Rodgers will get Villa although he absolutely shouldn't. We've always heard Percy "on the brink" and "set to be sacked" articles but there is none of this; I question our appetite for sacking Rodgers or our affordability to do so.

Is there concrete evidence/a good source saying anything to the effect that we 'cannot afford to sack him'?
