Their defence isnt great. Still think he's a good manager but its also difficult to gauge how good he really is as the Brentford club model is so good outside the manager for recruitment etc for the small size of their club.

MonkeyTennis? Posted 23 September 2022 Share Posted 23 September 2022 Frank is undeniably a good manager, who has done wonders with Brentford - I'd be happy to have him. He will find his way to the top six eventually. That said, the things Frank is good at aren't totally dissimilar from the things Rodgers is good at, and the style of play he favours is pretty similar. We are probably crying out for someone who can bring defensive solidity, new ideas and a mindset change. It might be better to go for a hard bastard at this stage, but given the choice between the axis of Big Sam/Dyche or Frank, Frank is superior. There is an element of risk in appointing him, but isn't there always? Keeping Rodgers is way more of a risk because he is out of ideas and running on empty. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where as we are flying on all cylinders? Brentford do blow hot and cold, such as that 'little' win they had at Man U this season. But undeniably he has been able build a team that gets results and are difficult to beat. I do think he may have taken that project as far as he can though. In terms of 'not an improvement on what we have', will respectfully disagree on that. You have to put Brendans 'perceived' brilliance to one side and look at the cold hard facts in front of you. Whatever he has isn't working, and hasn't worked long term at any club he has been at. Frank will at the very least present a refresh on approach, values and spirit. And quite frankly, i'd bite anyones hand off to be 9th right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football managers do not fit that category…. I've always wondered why managers at overseas clubs seem to resign left, right and centre but you never really see it in England, certainly not the PL. Do managers abroad not get a pay off so therefore they walk but in the same vain do they not draw compensation if another club wants them? Just seems odd.

Deeg67 Posted 23 September 2022 Share Posted 23 September 2022 No doubt the same people shltting on Frank now are the ones who were shitting on Potter last season when his name was mentioned.

Chelsea is a toxic environment where they'll have little patience for a manager trying to reshape a team to play the way he wants to play, and the ability to work the media is as important as the ability to coach. If he doesn't win the CL or finish top 3 he probably gets fired. The environment at LCFC is obviously pretty different from that. As long as he got the team playing hard and in attractive style and seemed to be making progress, he'd get plenty of slack.

Fanbase here has little patience for a manager trying to reshame and build a team. Potter finished 15th and 16th, I think it was, in his first two seasons at Brighton while was rebuilt them. If we finished that low here people would be booing, as Brighton fans did, and want him out. Loads of people on here wanted Pearson out when we were bottom of the PL. They won't admit it though and are among the same people that call for him back now. Edited 23 September 2022 by Fox92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcbluearmy Posted 23 September 2022 Share Posted 23 September 2022 9 hours ago, Pliskin said: Going to nail this to the boardroom door…… For attention of the Leicester city board. I am emailing you today with regards the the situation surrounding one Brendan Rodgers, to express as a fan base our sheer disbelief at the stance to allow this man to continue to hold his position within this once great club. Firstly, it seems apt to mention the success Brendan has had here, no one can deny that the FA cup victory and the charity shield were both fine achievements, but it’s also important to remember that this was a collective effort, each trophy was not won by Brendan Rodgers FC. Brendan will be remembered for these achievements, rightly so, however his position as manager is now untenable, and he simply has to go. During his time here, Brendan has been very Jekyll and Hide, his first two full seasons saw brilliant starts, followed by relegation form which saw the team throw away two golden opportunities to finish in the champions league places. Last season was largely erratic, and saw an incredible opportunity to get into a final of a European trophy thrown away by a timid, clueless performance. Since this time though Brendan’s demeanour and attitude has been unacceptable. His first murmurings of a ‘refresh’ should not have been tolerated by the club, this was a direct shifting of the blame away from himself, and it is a trend he has maintained since he first mentioned it. In reality, Brendan should have been sacked after losing 4-1 to Nottingham Forest, I question those who run the clubs knowledge of Leicester to think that, that was an acceptable result, it really was not, not at all. Since this time Brendan has been repeatedly banging the refresh drum, he also publicly thrown Caglar Soyuncu under the bus, which is an incredibly unprofessional thing to do, not to mention risking the depreciation in an asset at the club. Following this a baron pre season came and went, with the loss of a leader (who wasn’t replaced) and a prized asset in Fofana. Brendans attitude this season so far has been abhorrent. He has publicly thrown you the board under the bus, the players, the recruitment teams and worst of all, us the fans. This is wholly unacceptable, how can an employee be allowed to make such ridiculous comments and receive backing? If I were the hand that fed, I would have shown him the door. If Brendan was as good a coach as he thinks he is, then he would have used this opportunity to prove it. The greatest people in their fields rise to challenges, they don’t cower behind excuses, and this is exactly what Brendan is doing, he has put on his amour of excuses to protect himself, and is deflecting them back onto the club, players and fans. This is clearly a tactic he is using to ensure his reputation remains intact, when really he should be inspiring those players to achieve their maximum. Please tell me how a team can go from eighth place (with an injury hit season) to suddenly being bottom of the pile? The squad is largely the same and we have key players back…. The person the blame is the manager. You need to face the facts, and they are Brendan does not want to be here anymore…. He is being paid a hell of a lot of money to sit around sulking and feeling sorry for himself, I believe that he genuinely views himself as bigger than this club, and his sheer arrogance and need to preserve his reputation are detrimental to this football club. I have been coming to watch Leicester since 1997, I first heard the clanking of the turnstiles against Wimbledon back in Filbert Street, that day I fell in love with a people’s club, now, I’m falling out of love. For the first time in my life, I’m genuinely disinterested in my football club. We’ve been to the depths of league one, and I enjoyed watching football more then, than I do now. Brendan’s complete lack of enthusiasm and will to succeed with this team has sucked every last ounce of life out of the club, watching Leicester has become a chore, to the point of the emotion has gone, I’m not angry or frustrated, I’m deeply disappointed in what has unfolded at this football club over the last year. You may as well forget stadium expansions, what is the point? This club is hurtling to the championship faster than a comet, could you imagine the financial ruin relegation would cause? We used to be looked upon with jealous eyes, and we were most peoples second team…. Now you may as well throw a large multicoloured tent over the stadium, as we’ve become somewhat of a circus, we’re the laughing stock of the league. I’ll tell you now, that when I have conversations with other football fans about Brendan they simply say to me, “well your owners haven’t backed him”…. How does that make you feel when outsiders think this? Brendon Rodgers time here is done, he can achieve no more, I implore you to see reason and act now, you’ve had most of an international break to make a change and use the two weeks to inject some life back into this club! We’ve got a monster of a game next Monday…. But I just do not have any faith at all Brendan can lead this team to victory, ever again. He’s compromised the football club to benefit his reputation, he simply has to go. Warmest regards A deflated and desperately fed up Leicester city fan. Can you publish this somewhere for us all to sigh to say we agree with it as a protest? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all irrelevant anyway since not only does Potter already have a job, the board clearly thinks we already have the right manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
