Who says it's being wasted. Just because they've  not sacked him yet don't mean they are not doing anything.

 

They could sack him at the weekend and the new man walks in Monday.

Two weeks wasted as in the new manager could of had that time with the team before the Forest game and worked on the massive issues we have in defence

I don't think that's the case. Europa League or Conference League earns us between £10-30m but we'd also have bonuses paid out for qualification and it really isn't that sizeable amount. If the club genuinely forecasted our finances based on CL football every year instead then we deserve to be liquidated.

Exactly, this club should NEVER be run with the assumption that we will qualify for Europe. That is elevating incompetence to emphatic and operatic levels. That is serious early 2000's Leeds United stuff.

If he does, there will be a mass-deletion of comments on a scale never seen before on a forum.

Its the fawning comments from a couple of years ago that are embarrassing. He has never been that good , almost NO managers are. Unless he has a road to Jerusalem moment and ditches the high line crap , he will never turn it round.  A Guardiola quote. .  " managers are overrated"  remember that. .Whoever gets the job here , do not start another personality cult for God's sake.

I can't actually believe they're considering sticking with him. The atmosphere round the club is so toxic, he's alienated half the players and pretty much the entire fanbase, he's criticised the board, the fans, the players to try and save himself. Is a win against Forest going to magically solve all of that? Definitely not. Wish he'd just f**k off now, an absolute fraud who is currently stealing a living.

 

If Forest beat us and West Ham beat Wolves, then we will be five points adrift at the bottom. He's finished here, it's just a matter of time, so if it's about compensation then they're going to just have to bite the bullet and pay it sooner or later - we've just sold Fofana for nearly £80m ffs. This would have been the perfect time too - a two week break, plenty of time to get a new manager in and give him some time to work with the players ahead of the Forest match, but they'd rather give him 'one more chance' vs Forest. Honestly, the board can go as well at this point, atrocious decision making. We're rock bottom, we've lost 6 on the spin and not even looked like winning any game so far this season - it's clear they don't want to pay the compensation, but relegation would cost us infinitely more. If we have to risk FFP sanctions to get rid of Rodgers then that's something we should absolutely do if it gives us a chance of staying in this league, because with Rodgers the chances of us avoiding relegation are vanishingly small.

 

Genuinely can't see where our next win is coming from, and have no hope that we'll put in anything like a decent performance against Forest. We'll score 1 or 2 and then concede 2 or 3 from sloppy set pieces or mistakes, just like we do every week.

I can only assume the latter as right now we've recovered the best part of 80m over the course of the summer, spent less than 15m and still can't afford a new player nor a new manager.

 

It's looking a car crash that we're only just seeing the start of.

There's a real danger here that the only way Rodgers gets the sack is when it's too late which baring in mind the pay off to him is likely going to be the same will be insult to injury. Top and the board are placing so much faith and hope that he can turn this around when it's so heavily stacked against us if you look at the evidence. When a manager has been here as long as Brendan and has lost their spark, plus drowned the squads confidence and morale too then it's really no surprise to see us breaking records for goals conceded, our away form in the last year is relegation standard, our overall form in 2022 is diabolical and we do not get results against any team worth their salt in this division any longer.

 

We are washed up pissheads and I don't see a happy outcome here. Even if and when he goes it's likely too late and little cause for relief anf celebration to our fanbase, so now we've actually got to hope and pray like the custodians of our football club seem to be doing that we somehow start getting points fast.

 

This is harrowing

Rodgers bins players who dont fit his play...or who lose confidence.  He hires more players he wont pick. Over time he points fingers. After 2 years in every job these factors lead to failure.   He can win some points but he wont turn the togetherness around.

He is not an inspiring leader.   They will be sacking him before his contract ends.  If they sack him now we could avoid relegation

Gingers you say. Could he point Dyche?

Imagine if he actually managed to turn it around lol 

There are some on here who would be angry if we won every remaining game this season* because it would mean Rodgers wouldn't get sacked.**

 

 

 

*No, of course I'm not saying I think that could happen.

 

**And no, I'm not saying I don't think he should go.

Our model was to sell a player to fund other player trading, because we paid god wages to keep our good players happier for longer.

 

Last summer, not only did we not sell anyone, we also spent £60m. So it's swings and roundabouts, this summer we had to do the opposite.

I hope I am wrong but I suspect that in years to come we will end up being another case study in a club that aimed to break the elite and ended up failing massively.

 

Congrats on the world class training facility and the stadium expansion though.

That's on the assumption that it was in fact a model. It's never been proven to be the case.

Or, even worse, going into the last match knowing that three points would save us if it weren't for the abysmal minus 40 goal difference!

We will look back and see that the new manager would've saved us but for the massive defeats against Brighton, Spurs and Forest.

( does the goal difference thingy actually make the forest match a 'seven-pointer' ???? lol)

Imagine a world where we end up going down by 1/2/3 points or something when we could have pulled the trigger and got someone new in weeks ago.

On the flip side, would staying up by a point be considered a success for whoever the new man is? 

 

There's more than enough points/games available coupled with fixture pile up for top teams this season. If we got a new man in tomorrow i'd still be after 49 more points from the 93 left available. Think that's 1.5 a game?

Any safety would be a win for the new manager.  We're in deep shlt and beggars can't be choosers.  I'd take 17th by a point right now and I promise you, so would whoever they hired as the manager.

Yes. A million times yes. 


This squad has had every bit of confidence & faith bludgeoned out of it by this cretin. 


The players have forgotten how to defend. Any man that comes in and organises this side & gets them singing off the same hymn sheet in time to keep us up has done a phenomenal job. 

 

We realistically have to shift from a team that concedes 2-3 goals a game to a team that concedes half that amount. That's a hell of a task.


If that happens, the impressiveness of it relies on when he comes in . If he comes in prior to the world cup break & keeps us up (As I suspect the club are planning for) then he will have done an excellent job.

Fair enough, was genuinely interested in the general concensus. 
 

It sort of doesn't match with the media 'this squad is too good to be where they are' though does it?

I also have that opinion too, hence the 49 suggestion. I just think this group used in the right way could still go on to have a respectable season around 12th/13th maybe? 

 

I think i've also got the lingering memory of how winning 7 games in a row can make a massive difference in this league. I know things seem horrific right now but if we sacked him and won 3 on the bounce chances are we would be 12th/13th
