Are people on here for real or have they descended so far into the pit of despair they have lost all perspective. Sure it’s been an awful start but no more awful than in our first season back after promotion and definitely nowhere near as awful as season after season languishing in the championship before eventually dropping into the third tier. 

We could go back further to Brian Little’s poor season in the prem or the utter despair of the Pleat years or even further still to the absolutely abysmal season under Frank Mcklintock. These may be ancient history to many fans but they only go to prove that things have been much, much worse than this.

 

I know things have been grim but comments about ‘losing all interest’ and ‘this club is a joke’ just because of one shocking but relatively brief run of form seems an bit of an over-reaction.

Sound the “perspective” klaxons, we’ve got another one…

Spurs will be curtains, surely… 6 defeats in a row… 

Sorry, heard it before, it's getting very difficult to believe that now.

Yes actually, I think most of us are being realistic. As I said, this appears to have been going on at least since we won the FA Cup.

Seems to me that it is "the management" who are being unrealistic, not most of us.

A stitch in time saves nine as they say, I can't even see the management getting a needle out, can you ?

Putting to one side the vast discrepancy in ability and resources between the team at Pearson's disposal and the one we have now, it has been quite a bit more awful. Eight points and tenth after six games compared to one point and bottom, from what I would say is a very similar set of fixtures.

 

If Rodgers is allowed to either take us down or do so much damage before he leaves that the outcome is basically the same, I don't think the fact that we used to be shit in the Seventies will be too much of a comfort.

Not enough is said of Rodgers brief piece of bull shit that he tried to serve up in his first interview back in pre-season when he meant the refresh he talked about last season was as much a mindset for his current players as making changes to his squad. 😂😂😂

 

That quickly changed didn't it Brendan, he then has systematically slagged them off left, right and centre and moaned about not being backed with a condescending caveat that he will always respect the club and the owners.

 

Would be fascinated to see him grilled on what happened to his refresh mindset so quickly. 

Over to Jason Bourne…… joking aside might be worth firing it over to him on Twitter as he does seem quite happy to ask him the more challenging questions

Listened to the Rodgers episode of the Ben and Kammy podcast, it was recorded during pre-season in and around the time Kasper returned to training. 
 

Nothing ground breaking but he did talk about leaving Celtic ….resources, not being able to compete etc etc and then when talking about us and our aspirations for this season, he used language like balance the books, don’t have same resources as others. 
 

on a different note, comparing this season to last seasons corresponding results so far, this season has yielded 1 point against 10 points last season, let that sink in and tell me he should not leave ASAP

 

Let’s hope if there are any performance  clauses in his contract they are measured and reviewed at international breaks hence why he has been given until the Spurs game.

I asked for a season card, for which I had email proof, and the club gave me an E-ticket. And then refused to change it back saying I had to wait until next season, and essentially told me it was my fault, and despite showing them that I actually requested it, they still suggested it was me who got it wrong and not them. They just point blank refused to help, and the person I spoke to on the phone was disgustingly rude.  

This also happened to three of my mates.

If you cam be bothered to try again to sort it email lcfchelp and ask for Louise.

I'm sure different kinds of dog crap smell worse than others too. Doesn't mean I have to like what I've just trodden in.

 

Seriously though, there's a problem now and that needs addressing. That ought to be the focus.

Where to start with the bullshit in this post….

 

No worse than our start in the first season back after promotion. Ok….let’s look at the equivalent first 6 games. 8 points including a 5-3 win over Man Utd, draw with a strong Arsenal side, a gritty win away at a then solid premier league outfit in Stoke who were particularly strong at home and a draw with a then stronger version of Everton in our first game. 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats including away at Chelsea who won the league that season! I shouldn’t have to point this out but 8 is significantly better than 1!!! We also had a less expensively assembled squad and a manager and players who would fight for the cause. Not comparable in the slightest and the fact you have compared the two shows it is your perspective that is off…

 

As for the ‘brief poor run of form’. I don’t even know where to start with that as it has been so extensively discussed across various threads. You clearly do not watch the games or have any kind of context other than looking at the table so we should leave that one at that.

Claude Puel's last 30 games for Leicester = 35 points

 

Brendan Rodgers last 30 games for Leicester = 36 points

 

Claude Puel's last 6 games equalled 1 point

 

Brendan Rodgers last 6 games equalled 1 point, with 5 losses on the spin

Did Puel get a vote of confidence?

 

I think Ranieri did.

 

I don’t see us sacking without a statement ‘backing him’ or a vote of confidence, even though that virtually always ironically signals the end is near.

 

Saying that didn’t they come out on the back of rumours Rodgers had been sacked last season and give him backing/a vote of confidence - he’s still here :(

Well, if Top and the board don't get rid of Rodgers knowing full well he will get us relegated, then my vote of confidence for them is ended for the first time ever. How he has survived thus far is very worrying. It's clear he doesn't want to be here as much as we and the players don't want him here anymore, the owners must know this so why the inaction? if it really is about having to pay him off then we are in bigger trouble than any of us can imagine.

Haha this is a great point. 

 

His narrative has been all over the place but as long as the blame doesn't lie at his door, he's happy!

This is where I am.

 

Yes Top made a statement about finances the other week in his notes but the longer this goes on, the silence is deafening and a massive concern.

Has anyone else totally lost enthusiasm about this topic? 

 

I have personally wanted Rodgers to not be our manager for about a year or so now. With the exception of Forest away, in that time I never genuinely thought we'd sack him. But then after the start of the season, his comments in the press, & the manner in which we lost at Brighton I felt there was no way he could see another day in the job.

 

Him not getting the boot after Brighton has made me totally give up on the idea that the club will do the right thing before its too late & removed any enthusiasm I have about us at the moment lol

Gone from being angry about him still being here to abject indifference over anything LCFC…and believing the board should leave with him as they’ve failed to act and therefore shoulder the responsibility too.

 

On the other hand, I’m delighted I don’t have a season ticket anymore.

If you consider we got 10 points in our final 4 games of last season, mainly against relegation fodder or teams with nowt left to play for and you realise that that19 point differential in terms of where we finished is very very concerning. We have been regressing big time right before our eyes.
