Popular Post mozartfox Posted 20 September 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 20 September 2022 This is getting very silly now pointing fingers at Top. Yes - it is extremely frustrating right now, but none of us know what is going on and there are sound reasons for this. There is no way Top or Susan would allow this project to be derailed. They trusted people who, on the face of it, have failed. Best keep things rational until this unfolds. Rogers must and will go, of that I am sure. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than cryptic messages that everyone is drawing their own conclusion on, is it possible to say who is holding up the removal of Rodgers. If it is Top then saying so would stop the speculation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they re-appointed NP, Do you think any other owners would have done that? Our owners are the best in football. Look at what the Glaziers have done to Man UTD or Marinakis at Forest, Venky's at Blackburn. List goes on and on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 If it's fine to criticise Rodgers for keeping faith in underperforming players to the detriment of the team (which it obviously is), I don't see why it should be any different with Top and co. keeping faith in an underperforming manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westernpark Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 Not sure whether it is purely based on having a replacement lined up, I remember Stowell and Appleton after Shakespeare. Any manager bounce will be noticeable I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viva Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 4 minutes ago, Matt_Lcfc said: What sort of argument is this? I’m sorry, but attributing performances on the pitch to him is borderline nonsensical. Also, the training ground has been built based on the assumption that we will receive high corporate money (seems silly now). Please look at the accounts and you’ll understand that very little external money has been pumped in, merely funded by loans and hypothetical scenarios. Just because I’m young, it does not make me not entitled to an opinion. This ownership has become a cult for certain people, it’s actually a bit embarrassing, if I’m honest. Thought I would be correct about your age. You are more than entitled to your opinion. You do realise that the owners recruited the managers that have achieved all our success, including Rodgers? So hardly think attributing some of our successes to them is borderline nonsensical! Calm down and have a word with yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not about to walk away without his swag filled to the brim, we are at the mercy of our Board who seems to delight in forgetting that the team is the one that is suffering, along with a disenchanted fan base.

westernpark Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 Also what happens if we beat forest, does he stay? How many extra games does he get?

There is still a tiny, minuscule part of me that thinks he can turn this around. I think that comes from the players looking like they still like him and believe in him. Maddison’s interview post spurs suggested as much. Having said that, IF we beat forest and lose the following game then I would say that’s more evidence to back sacking him.

He would have to put a run together and then he might see through to the summer but I think his long term future is done here. It would only take one defeat again for everyone to be all over him.

Xen Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 We've got 6 games in October, the last of which is against Man City so that's a bit of a free hit. He'd still need to get at least 11 points from the remaining 15 available against other mid/low-table fodder to convince me that he's turned it around and would be worth keeping on after the WC. 3 home wins on the trot and 2 points from Bournemouth/Wolves away. That's absolutely achievable if he can get us back on form, and would have us looking a bit more comfortable in mid-table, around 11th/12th. And if he does manage to turn it around, hopefully he'll have been humbled by the toxicity that's built up and we'll see a different side of Rodgers going forward. I'll wait to be convinced, though. A home win against Forest is absolutely essential though. Anything other and he needs to be sacked at the final whistle, frankly. Even with all that said, though, I still think we'd be better parting ways now and getting someone new in to have a bit of time with the players before that same run of games, before we get cut adrift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said Madders isn’t going to publicly throw Rodgers under the bus (BR could learn a thing or two). As for the players, they are NOT running which even Matt Piper picked up as the players being disillusioned/not playing for the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
