No doubt these comments will be lapped up by the likes of Savage who hates ambitious clubs and Lineker who believes we are where we should be. If we manage 45 points Rodgers will be lauded. Complete joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suggests he'll get the season and a chance to "rebuild" next summer. I feel like Top should be setting the targets but it seems like he doesn't know his arse from his elbow when it comes to footie, so probably taking Rodgers at his word.

RonnieTodger Posted 13 October 2022 Share Posted 13 October 2022 I don’t think empty seats are the answer. By that, I mean STHs not turning up. I’d prefer that people came and voiced their frustrations. It’s a lot better than apathy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 13 October 2022 Share Posted 13 October 2022 Don't know how he thinks the same group of players minus Schmeichel and Fofana is only worth 40 points, just making excuses now for his poor management. Top has been taken in by Rodgers spin and propaganda, it's the only explanation for him continuing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we are better than bottom place . This for the most part is Rodgers but the players themselves should take a good look at themselves because with a few exceptions they are not earning their pay. ....we are certainly not overrated by the media!!! If anything they see this as where we should be and we should be grateful to have had the opportunity to dine at the king's table, now we can push off to where we belong. I am not sure why you are buying into this, little Leicester nonsense, it is why we are expanding, bigger stadium, better training facilities, we are ambitious and I for one am relieved we are taking that vision forward. I have read comments about the folly of building the Training ground and the expansion and some see this as hubris, but it is what we have to do in order not to stand still. Eventually, we would have had to invest in the needed infrastructure, and we chose to do it when the interest rate was non-existent, saving millions, and Covid had a big hand in slowing down the process of the stadium expansion. As for the players needing to take a look at themselves, I suspect they do, the day they come into training because they will not believe, what they are putting out there, every game fighting against a system, that does not allow them, to be the best that they can be.

I think Rodgers is not unique in the coach/manager world of football, but he is dialed up to 11 like Spinal Tap. Personally I think we have a manager who suffers from "small man syndrome": "Small Man Syndrome refers to a condition where a man feels inadequate because of his short height and may try to overcompensate it with overly aggressive behaviour. The syndrome is often referred to as Napoleon Complex in reference to the famous military leader". Substitute the overly aggressive behaviour to an over sized ego, then you have Brendon Rodgers. P.S. Apologies to other small people, no small person was hurt posting this on FT. I think he is far from this.. And this trying to judge character through far too many walls, is now becoming tedious. It's become a snowball of some fans, thoughts after he has made 2 or 3 statements.. Where he also often has taken the blame in various incidences & repeated in many statements,it's his responsibility... Of course players & club will have a shots across the bows..Rightly so..!! But again he can argue points well, other points like all managers comes out with twaddle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly do not subscribe to this "little Leicester" crap . We should always be one of the top twelve clubs in the country. Our current squad is simply not as good as some think. We are transitioning to a post Vardy , Evans and Tielemans situation and that was always going to be difficult. We are still strong enough however to sustain mid table and both the manager and the players are culpable. If the players do not agree with Rodgers tactics , they should make it clear that they are not going to follow them. What on earth can he do to them ? He is a dead letter manager with no real authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll never forget Brendan’s first press conference as Leicester manager: he laid down clear markers and goals for our club; It was so motivating and such a breath of fresh air after Puel’s tenure. He was a winner and he was going to make us winners again— and he did! Puel only spoke about an abstract “project” while we floated along aimlessly and began playing forgettable football. I always wondered how the players could possibly fight for each other as a collective when they didn’t even know what their goal was? Now we’re right back where we started and Brendan seems nervous about failing to meet any goals he lays out so he hasn’t articulated any aside from a half-hearted “40 points.” And we’re playing that good ol’ aimless football again. We’re in a relegation scrap, we have a stale squad, and are without the buzz of European football. Seems like the first thing we’d do to keep the players motivated is to break up the season into units (easy to do with all of the natural breaks) and set out points goals and incentives for meeting each objective. Yet here we are, drifting out to sea with 4 points from 9 games and no plan or target in sight. Edited 13 October 2022 by The_77 Grammar 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many say its because he's a bull shitter who can't admit his faults so is moving the goalposts as not to look like a failure but the end result is still the same whether he makes bold statements about us challenging the top 6 like he did when he arrived here, with the risk of failing to do so or a few years down the line becomes very negative and in to protective mode where the fans and club still recognise the decline and eventually he gets paid off anyway. Is this certain people's way of dealing with a lack of confidence and belief? Might explain the fragile mentality in pressure situations we and his teams have a reputation for. Such a shame as he's evidently got certain talent to get the best out of footballers early on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
