Sly Posted 21 September 2022 Share Posted 21 September 2022 This is bonkers. We’ve had one of the worst starts in Premier League history. We are in awful form and have been for months. A couple of things could be happening here. 1. They genuinely believe we’ll turn it around. So are letting us ride out the rough until a certain point that they have no choice. 2. We are actually for sale due to cash flow / liquidity issues with a sale imminent. No point sacking him, let the next owners do that with their cash.

A win won't change anything It might not make much difference to fans - although I beg to differ, I think many who have only just turned could be won back on board, plus the amount of happy clappers we have in the stadium… But not about us, the fans is it? Obviously Rodgers still has the support of the board or atleast 1 person on the board (Whatever happened to a majority vote and democracy?!), a win changes only strengthens that more.

Bptiger Posted 21 September 2022 Share Posted 21 September 2022 So we don’t have money to strengthen the team THEN we don’t have the money to sack Rodgers, BUT what will the cost be when we are playing in the championship next season , TOP you seem to be out of ur depth, either fix this mess or sell , me thinks .

Claudio Fannieri Posted 21 September 2022 Share Posted 21 September 2022 I ain’t so sure it’s as done and dusted that he will be in charge for the Forest game, just because he wasn’t sacked on Sunday or yesterday. Players who aren’t on international duty aren’t due back to until the end of the week so still plenty of time. As others have alluded to, this is a complex situation, it would seem pretty clear that there is a fixed compensation package to sack Brendan and most likely his coaching team, perhaps the delay is due to the club negotiating a reduced settlement on the basis of a mutual consent departure or resignation. This would explain the delay in any announcement. It also makes sense for both Rodgers and the board, Rodgers has an opportunity to avoid being ‘sacked’, the club reduce the financial liability with the potential saving going towards securing his replacement and the important part in all this the club and particularly Top are not seen to be sacking the Manager who delivered two top. 5 finishes and our First FA Cup. As fans we know the time is right for him to go, however it is clear Rodgers is still a media darling, their are ego’s and reputations at stake along with significant financial implications. The silence is deafening which suggests things are happening behind the scenes, otherwise I think we would have heard leaks that Rodgers will be given more time etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're genuinely stupid enough to give him those five games, they deserve to lose the tens of millions it will cost them in revenue. In pre-season I thought they'd give him until the WC break I just never believed we'd be in this hole. 2 hours ago, Phenom said: I would say that United was definitely winnable too.

Point 2 is an interesting one but I really think it’s about the players still being with him. the performance on Saturday is skewed by how spurs played - they weren’t good. our tactical sh1tshow across the last two games would tell anyone who actually understands the game that the coach has to go. He’s lost the plot completely. a team full of confidence would probably be able to ride out the tactics employed and get results. It’s madness what they’re being asked to do when they’re petrified to do anything. it’s painful to watch and unfair on the players - the next guy who will inevitably arrive has a bigger and more difficult task with each passing week because of this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However for the long term good the worst thing we could do is win. Catch 22. There is no good outcome in our current predicament. This woeful form and these woeful performances for a significant time now are clearly not focussing minds within the board, a win would probably ensue they secure him a lucrative lifetime contract. However I think your missing the crux of my point entirely. Edited 21 September 2022 by Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an uneducated view for sure. Unless you’re watching week in week out and have the passion, it’s easy to think that.

Last week he was saying the same, and didn't understand how we weren't doing better because Brendan is a 'top class coach'. Luckily (!?!) we have 2 Liverpool fans at work who put him straight. One summed it up as a 'He's a fraud he loves himself, and when it goes wrong it goes wrong fast'. When Brendan finally gives up football (please be this week!), he should go into marketing. His brand building skills are exceptional. Edited 21 September 2022 by Chelmofox 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
