Foxxed Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 3 minutes ago, Freeman's Wharfer said: The only, ONLY reason he can’t have gone yet is us working on a replacement to walk straight into role. But even with that scenario I’d rather a caretaker run training for the next few days whilst we find Rodgers’ successor. Yeah. I was thinking this. But I can’t think of a legitimate scenario where we’d be better off keeping him rather than jettisoning him straight off: trying to hardball his compensation down, playing swapsies with another club? All the scenarios I can think of seem far fetched and ill thought out. The only one that seems to fit is someone in the board doesn’t want him sacked and believed in him and if that’s true then someone in the board is happy doing this to the squad, fanbase and club. There better be a good and sensible reason but I’m getting used to the idea of seeing a gutted squad fighting in the Championship next season with a board I don’t fully trust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige is in a job at Bristol so not sure he’ll come. Having said that if he could bring Andy King back too alongside, that would be appealing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkenzo Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 Don't know what's weirder, people thinking that Pearson will dump a project to come and manage us for a few months, or that people actually want Pearson back 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 (edited) The scenario where he wants to go but we’re not letting him is the most surreal to me. If we legitimately can’t afford his severance then we’ve created a bigger financial mess than we know about.

Popular Post Jaspa Posted 20 September 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 20 September 2022 Club need to give some indication of what's going on.

BenTheFox Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 Seriously, how bad does it have to get? The financial situation must be even worse than we feared. I cannot believe that they would think that this is ok. Not being able to afford to sack him is the only plausible explanation t this point.

I’d be up for not going if we did a mass boycott type thing. Agreed. I'd love not to go, theres been times over the last 12 months i've not gone because i've had enough, I only renewed my ST because if I didn't i'd lose it and not get it back, i'm caught in two minds here, I wanna go to vent my frustrations, shout, say my piece and add to toxicity, on the other hand if a mass boycott is being planned that speaks volumes and sends massive message - in reality a boycott on a large scale is unlikely. We can all talk about protests or boycotts but without planning and putting ideas out there, spreading the word nothing will happen on its own.

Good luck getting even 1% of the fanbase on board with that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe it is a finance problem, just someone prominent backing Rodgers and creating this deadlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
