On the grand scheme of things, he has actually achieved very little. Never far away, granted. Pep is an elite manager, BR is not on the same level. It came from Robbie Savage on BT Sport when Leicester were doing well and other pundits have since picked it up and ran with it since they all talk in lazy cliches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all to do with Celtic , and the over estimation of their managers . O'Neil was the same and his reputation was built on being a shark in a goldfish pond. Rodgers has his strengths but definitely does not have the personality of a top manager. He is a mini- Mourinho. I don't like José at all but given his lack of a proper football CV , he has somehow blagged and bullshitted his way to the top echelon , although fading rapidly now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of the best managers don't have a great cv tbf. You can not like moutinho but it's abit weird to claim he's blagged his career. Which for the most part has produced a ridiculous amount of success Edited 11 October 2022 by ARTY_FOX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's going to matter - We've got him for another week at least. Another week where we aren't likely to pick up points and where the gap will get bigger.

Edit: The board are that bad at this point that I’m starting to have a bit of sympathy for Rodgers. I wonder what cluster ****s we aren’t aware of that he’s had to put up with to drive him to this point Somebody who is thinking like myself. Very very few are privy to his relationship with the board. Fans are saying that it looks like he wants out and to be sacked, but Top won't do this. Why??? There has got to be something going on at the club that prevents the obvious. This loyalty thing he came out with? This is code talk. I am starting to wonder if he really is being undermined from above. The one big red flag is Wes Forfana. They didn't need to let him go. Days before window closed. He kept saying. Let's grt window closed and re set. Worked with mahrez. Got our money in the end. I think Forfana is the last straw for Rodgers. Just my opinion. Trying to just work this out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 11 October 2022 Share Posted 11 October 2022 I think you have to take two steps back and look at a human level. Club won a trophy in honour of the chairman’s son. A lot of pride collected and a lot of anguish stored set aside. On a human level, Top is going to find it difficult to part with the bloke what brought in a big portion of that. The thing is it’s still a business. The club has been ran like a business all summer but then ran on a human level now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'So if we lose 7 out of the next 8 games, concede 22 goals in the process, have less than half a point per game in the opening 24% of the season, he would still be here?' And yet here he is! ...just imagine if you can, that Top will never sack him, never!!! This will be on a matter of principle as he feels he owes Rodgers the revamp that was promised. It will not matter what transpires this season, Top is prepared to bear the ire of our fanbase and not hold Rodgers accountable. Rodgers on the other hand wants out, he no longer wants to be here and these performances are doing nothing for his reputation. He has now taken to going down the tunnel as fast as he can, you sense there is an amount of frustration building in him. He remarked not too long ago that he could understand if the club sought to release him, that was more him saying get on with it I would think. So Rodgers is in effect skewered, at a place he really does not want to be and in a position he wants to be released from. His only recourse is to walk away, it is a lot to leave on the table, but there is no other option available to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
