An Sionnach Posted 29 September 2022 Share Posted 29 September 2022 From now on , NO poaching managers from other teams, out of work only , employed on twelve month rolling contracts. The vast majority of managers are overrated and usually desperate for work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that I am ITK, but maybe I can do better than some on here. You may be correct, but I damn well hope you're not. What sort of logic gives the easiest run of matches to the most inept manager when, of all the matches in the calendar, these are the ones for which you must reserve your optimum performance? I feel that football common sense has deserted our board at this very crucial moment of decision. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be be surprised as to how the club is reacting to this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that football common sense has deserted our board at this very crucial moment of decision. Speaking of the board, I have emailed them with my comments as I know others have done. I would urge all others on here who want Rodgers gone to do the same. We may be I ignored, but those on the board must start to take more notice as the complaints pile up, and at the very least it's better than just ranting on here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 29 September 2022 Share Posted 29 September 2022 I'd love to know Rodgers genuine thoughts on this situation He must know he's done and wants to leave. However he obviously wants that juicy payout so it's not as easy as walking away. We've lost 6 games on the trot, so he's clearly doing all he can to expedite the process, but he's got some simp boss who absolutely adores him and won't let him go. Reminds me of the story of the Andy Woodman situation at Newcastle. On an 8 year contract with full payout if sacked. With 5 years left Pardew was sacked and he was buzzing for the 5 year payout, then he was the only member of the coaching staff that was kept on. Then spent his time desperately trying to get the sack under McLaren haha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post l444ry Posted 29 September 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 29 September 2022 Would think the Rodgers "emotional" link is now broken between club/fans/manager whatever happens against the Trees. Win and it'll all break out again at the next defeat because it's performances over the last 18 months that have pissed most fans off. One win won't change that overnight. Plus it's odds on he'd jump ship at the first opportunity if he does miraculously turn things around and become a "wanted" manager again. Should have moved him on when we had the chance and good reason. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the wrong word used to describe the link. However, there has to be some link between the Board and Rodgers otherwise they'd have pulled the plug long ago.

Problem is if we waste these so called easier fixtures, which is quite possible, we’ll be so far adrift to make a change that will have impact anyway. Very dangerous game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 29 September 2022 Share Posted 29 September 2022 IF we lose against forest he is gone. Never mind the World Cup. Any result against forest sees him get further games. Talk about a lose lose. Grim. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that I am ITK, but maybe I can do better than some on here. Not shooting messenger don’t worry. If we have an easier run until World Cup I find it very hard to believe they would agree to keep until the end of that period. although I don’t at all Agee, I can see them thinking they will give him a chance to turn it round at the start of these easier games but if he loses first couple the fact they are supposedly easy, surely only increases the pressure? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_danbury Posted 30 September 2022 Share Posted 30 September 2022 i dont see why they think he'll get points from these easier games when we couldnt even beat brentford or southampton at home. and nothing from a 10 man chelsea side who sacked their manager soon after. they do seem desperate for rodgers to turn it around, even thought that clealy won't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
