34 points in our last 38 PL games, we were just about treading water even before this season.

 

We’ve been in almost terminal decline under Rodgers after his first season by most metrics. After a stale summer they should have been prepared to make a change to arrest the bad results seeing as we couldn’t change the playing staff.

Consider that 9 came from 3 games against awful teams with nothing to play for.

 

25pts from 35 games makes for even worse reading. Although I realise it's unfair to remove the more winnable games from the equation haha

[norwichfox]

Every time this cnut takes charge of a game he devalues our players, the club will finish up with a fistful of players (even more than currently) that nobody wants, their international careers will be are already in complete tatters...please god get rid of him.

[Number 6]

I do wonder how good October would have to be to make people think he is capable of turning this around. Think we'd need to see 10+ points to even start to be convinced. Could end up with the worst scenario of 5 or 6 points from those games and just limping through the season until the sacking inevitably happens.

[StanSP]

But this is fine, Rodgers gets another chance

 

 

[orangecity23]

I can quite easily see us taking zero points in October if Rodgers remains. Only needs the opposition to manage 2 or 3 corners plus 5 or so shots on target and that's good enough to secure at least 3 goals against us. He is finished, he sounds finished in interviews and the team he sends out appears more broken with every game.

This is incorrect.

45 points I think, we had 8 after 7 games last year and finished with 52 so 44 in 31 plus 1 from 7 so far.

 

Still not great.

@Corkyis close. 

 

I make it 1 point out of 7 games this season. 45 points out of the final 31 games of last season = 46 points out of the previous 38 PL games / 1.2 points per game. 

 

When you consider we've actually been in 'just about staying up' form for the equivalent of a season AND take into account the massive decline this season, it's pretty worrying...

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

Can we do a mass email of this to the club ?

Apparantly hes on the phone to Top now

[Gazza3]

I m off to France for a few days . I hope on my return the new man is in charge and we’ve seen the last of Brendan. It’s too depressing to consider him being here for Forest. One can only hope

We've won 2 games away in 2022 and 4 in over a year and 3 of those are against relegated clubs. In 2022 we've not beaten a side home or away (7 league wins in total) that were lower than 15th at the time we beat them. 

 

It is absolutely disgusting scenes.

[RowlattsFox]

Wish we were playing Forest this weekend, just to get it out the way. Sick of talking and reading about Brendan Rodgers.

Funny how people sarcastically were yelling 'panic' when we weren't very good last season because we'd 'just won the FA cup' or 'recently beaten Manchester United'.

What are you using to find these stats? 

Could you try and benchmark that a bit more?

• 2 away wins in 2022 - out of how many away games? 
• No win vs a 14th place or higher side in 2022 - out of how many games?

Yep, absolutely this. 

 

I fvcking hate the international breaks with every fibre of my being, and it's even worse just being left in limbo like this, staring into the abyss, with a zombie manager and the biggest game in a long time for us coming up.

 

And we've got to sit and wait whilst Sponsorship FC and the rest of the nations half-arse a bunch of glorified friendlies whilst everyone pretends to care.

Mainly because it wasn't time to panic then given the context and circumstance which funnily enough change over time.

Do what I'll be doing mate, cheer for the other side,  just to see the looks on Kane's and Southgate faces when they lose

[lcfc043]

If we beat Forest, you can just imagine the smug look on his face as if everything’s alright.

Wait, just looking at that 2nd stat again - do you mean of the 7 league wins in 2022, they've all been against teams that were 15th or higher?

Correct, as in 15th - 20th at the time we beat them.

It's just absurd that he's still here. It'd be absurd if we were someone like Bournemouth ffs.

2 away wins in 2022 out of 14 away games

4 away wins since start of last season which is 23 games, probably even grimmer reading if look at back end of 2020/21 season too.
