If we win against Forest, he most definitely won't be sacked. What a glum old time for our club Atleast people have been careful what they wish for. 4 minutes ago, Finnegan said: Atmosphere at Forest is going to be an experience.

We have been the club that has been "well run", gone about everything the right way to try and get into the top 6. Did it once (winning the league) and flirted with it a couple times under Rodgers. Now reduced to an inabailty to replace good departing players, a relegation battle and refusing to change the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hales Posted 22 September 2022 Share Posted 22 September 2022 I'm surprised at Susan, yes what Top ultimately want goes but I just thought she wouldn't put up with this. Maybe she is being ignored and Top is ignoring all sensible advice and the votes of the board. If that is the case then that is a massive massive worry. Will we end up losing her as well as players?

Aleksz Posted 22 September 2022 Share Posted 22 September 2022 Managing to get the fan base borderline willing for a lost against Forest is a level of incompetence/negligence I once never thought King Power were capable of. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusko187 Posted 22 September 2022 Share Posted 22 September 2022 I'm genuinely concerned about the ownership of our club now. - Lack of money - Constant borrowing of money - Inability to address areas of concern with the team (replacement of aged/sold players) - Poor recruitment - High wages to poor players - Retaining Rodgers for far longer then he should have F*** it, let's get a petition going and send it straight to the club! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, his guess is likely correct. IF Brendan can’t manufacture a win against Forest then surely we are done and so is he. How has it come to this though? How has it come to us needing a manager to save himself in order for us to save ourselves?! As soon as there was any sign of danger then he should have been out of the door.

Sorry but not everyone in the fan base is willing for a loss against them ffs It's perfectly understandable and acceptable to want to beat the cvnts and for Rodgers to lose his job. Nevertheless, its going to be a very weird atmosphere for what has fast become the biggest game of the season - it should be one that blows the roof off, but the ownership's indecision to sack Rodgers, and Rodgers own incompetence has well and truly thrown that out the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t disagree mate but there’s also a healthy amount that just want this over with now. One step backward further to actually take some forward. Sure it would be nice to get our first win and especially against that lot. But if it’s just going to paper over the cracks what’s the point.

Realist Guy In The Room Posted 22 September 2022 Share Posted 22 September 2022 If this is in fact the decision (there really isn’t anything in the article to suggest this is anything other than guess work) and they’ve decided to give him a bit longer, I really don’t like it, but I absolutely understand it. 2 x 5th places, an FA Cup and a European semi final have bought him time. To reach a semi final and finish 8th with the injuries we had last season was an achievement in itself so in that respect, he’s earned the chance to turn it around. Lets say for instance, by the time of the world cup, we’ve gone on a good run and are sitting say 14th. The platform is there for after the international break. Youri will go and probably Maddison too. That’ll free up funds and we’ll attack the 2nd half of the season. I don’t like it, not many people do. However it’s as much of a gamble as switching to another manager that might turn out to be worse. Better the devil you know etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 22 September 2022 Share Posted 22 September 2022 Fail to beat Forest and he either doesn't get sacked and everything becomes more toxic, or he does get sacked and we've wasted 16 day international break to bring someone in ahead of the biggest match of the season. Beat Forest and the board will feel smug with themselves and it will buy him more time, but we all know it's only papering over the gaping cracks. No matter what we lose. Sheer and utter incompetence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His rank failure to secure top 4 twice was enough for me. No decent manager could oversee such repeated collapses in form without being able to change it. Last season was a joke hidden behind an injury crisis. The writing has been on the wall for far too long. Many say that the club are run by professionals who know what they are doing. This is a myth which has now been sorely exposed. We are being run by spineless idiots. IF we manage a win against Forest it solves nothing. In fact it just prolongs the decline and will likely assure relegation. We are in very dark times and there really is no need for it.
