Tuchel's severance payment is rumoured to be £7m. Rodgers wouldn't get more, would he? 

...not unless someone got too excited and messed up the contract and forgot to put a severance amount in!!!

I am surprised about the different amounts going around suggesting what we will need to pay him. If Tuchel is £7m then I would suspect Rodgers would be thereabouts. Perhaps a reason is, that we do not want to pay him any money.

Not coming close to the Chelsea job should really hit home for him as to how far his stock has fallen. This time last year his name was being mentioned for jobs like this. Unless he hadn't noticed, him staying here sulking while we lose game after game may actually damage his reputation. 

Exactly. I think that's why his excuses and protestations have been so frantic and unusual. In his mind this job was the final stepping stone on his way back to the 'big time' and now it's all unraveling.

To be fair to Brendan he has changed somewhat since those early Liverpool days where that documentary made him seem quite peculiar. He looks different and isn't quite as cringe worthy.

Are you sure. I think he's worse now.

....there is nothing wrong with the "Highline" it suits this team well!!!

It is the "possession football" that makes this team seem so risk-averse. If you take a look at the players within this team, they are a team with the mentality to go forward and impose themselves on other teams, our manager's philosophy is to make progression as slow as possible, allowing teams to reset and then trying to break them down.

High line only works if you have the players, Man.City have paid hundreds of millions for those players and even then they get caught out time and time again usually relying on the pace of Dias and Walker to bail them out .We do not, do not have those players leaving us open and vulnerable at the back. We have gone from conceding two a match to nearly three and if we do not ditch this idiot system , we are going down.

Just ditch Bodgers.

Impossible to imagine him being more cringeworthy than he is.

...we are not skint, the money is there, we just have what may just be, a power situation at the moment!!!

Imagine if Top was so affronted by Rodgers in regards to his remarks about the ambition of the club, the board, and the players under his charge. What if Top adamantly refused to pay anything to Rodgers, not a single penny for him to go, and Rodgers is insisting that he will not leave without a fistful of pound notes in his pockets? How would that look!!!

  It would look pretty much exactly as we are viewing at the moment, poor performances and even poorer results do not matter for both parties trapped in this death match. Top is hoping, that a post becomes available for Rodgers to apply for, or for Rodgers to quit, Rodgers, on the other hand, is going to pass up opportunities in order to get the upper hand, the only ones losing out are us (the fanbase) and the club itself.

   If we do have these two wills locked in moral and principled combat, how do we break the spell, how do we stop any further damage to our image and possible erosion of the fanbase?

   Arbitration would be the only way out and both parties are not going to get all they wanted, but we might just end up there.

The ffp situation is looming next year.  There is time to sort it out. 

I would just say thst while we are not skint nor lacking income the truth is our outgoings have become too high by signing players on huge wages... especially new players coming to the club.

He is not leaving without his money - all of it. Top pays up now or later after more damage is done.

sadly, I also see this as our current position. I see the championship beckoning and Derby's points record in severe danger.

Why would Top not be a good businessman? He must have worked with his dad for a long while, admittedly that doesn't make him as good as his dad was. I just think he might have delegated a bit too much and not to good people on the board and the fact that Bodgers hasn't gone already must be down to financial issues that Bournemouth and Chelsea haven't got. The only trouble with that is the longer results go against you, the worse the situation (in league terms) gets and if relegated then even worse than firing the guy. How this farcical situation resolves itself, we will have to wait and see, but poor communication to the fans about this will eventually turn them against themselves.

Ok, you've just set out a few of the classic reasons that businesses fail!

1.Delegating too much to the wrong people.

2. Poor communication

3. Poor cash flow due to unknown reasons probably over/poorly timed investment and unforseen events (KP downturn due to covid)

4. Delay/inability to make difficult decisions.

 

The points you make are valid but if true they do not indicate a good businessman in fact quite the opposite.

 

Vichai was criticised by many for his swift disposal of Ranieri but his decision was that of a man used to making tough and decisive business decisions, and taken in the best interests of LCFC.

 

Ps. I can tell you from personal experience that working with a father who is a successful businessman is absolutely no guarantee of the future success of an offspring, in many cases being brought up in a wealthy household has quite the reverse effect.

...it still applies, if you see something that is wrong and you do not speak up, you are condoning the action!!!

There are degrees of wrong is my point and anyway silence and consideration is not support

It's horrible to say and was all the players fault but Ranieri really was going to do the unthinkable and gets us relegated the season after winning the league. We were in free fall and it was the middle of the season. I think Swansea away his least game, we were diabolical and not even trying anymore. Whilst this is earlier in the season I have the exact same vibes. That last half hour at Brighton was the players giving up accepting their fate that things need to change, I was so so sure that he was gone on Sunday night or Monday morning, cannot see the weekend being anything from toxic, as soon as any little mistake is made fans will be looking for reasons to moan and boo, Villa take the lead and we are done.
