Not saying he’s safe, just Top wants to give him every chance but he heard and saw the protests today and will remove BR soon as manager if there is no immediate upturn in results. Next match is even bigger now. Edited 15 October 2022 by lcfc_forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's just going game by game? What happened to the chance for the Bournemouth game? How is that even good for the club? Win against Leeds but lose against Wolves, and then it becomes 'he'll have Man City to save his job'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 (edited) Hasn't his job rested on the next game for about 5 (6) games now? 4 of which we failed to win, 3 of which we've lost, 2 of which were embarrassing hammerings, (1 of which was postponed). He's going nowhere. Edited 15 October 2022 by Matt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is Top's present thought pattern, then he really is not cut out to be in his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going nowhere. 2 of which we got battered in. This is incredible, the performance this season has been appalling, there’s no two ways about it. His credit should have been expunged after last season, he then spent half the summer talking down the club, we’re averaging 1 point every 2 games and we failed to beat the side sat 16th in League Two in 90 minutes. This is poor performance on an incomprehensible level, even the most pessimistic fan wouldn’t have thought this was possible. The comments on the Tanner Athletic article are absolutely astonishing, people attributing the fact we have had one of the worst starts in PL history on the fact Top didn’t continue to throw good money after bad this summer.

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 “I understand football and it wouldn’t change my feeling for him if he did decide to make a change. He has given us support and in a difficult time he is still supportive.” If this was in any way about some misguided sense of loyalty then Rodgers has just handed Top free pass to sack him. The mad thing is Rodgers clearly wants this bullet but it’s still not coming. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also again came out and said the lack of summer transfers was to blame for the club's current position He also said it was hot today - diddums! It was 15 degrees max today. Doesn’t help himself does he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 I think he is genuinely gagging to be sacked. He’s not even coming over to the fans after the games. He wants his pay check so he can clear off to Spain for a bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Think Top sees him as a 'safe' card. Achieved a trophy success during his time and hoping the situation is turned around to avoid a penalty fee in sacking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-fox Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 What I don’t understand is, why can’t he just look at how we are playing and just say **** it, let’s go 442 and be hard to beat for a few games. Play maddison as sort of a 10/second striker and just try and grind out some wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager who wants to be sacked, a club apparently not wanting to pull the trigger regardless of our position, players massively underperforming and reducing number of games to turn it around. We are fooked basically. Edited 15 October 2022 by JimmyC74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nettle Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 The guy talks more bollocks than Robbie Savage and that's being kind to Savage. He's begging for the sack if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it were as simple as saying "right lads, just be hard to beat", he wouldn't do it - it's not how he believes the game should be played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rigid, boring, possession game, is his view of how the game should be played. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he must surely, and I mean surely, see that his way hasn’t worked for 18 months. It’s so boring and we aren’t even getting results now with it.

JimmyC74 Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Keeping Brendan in place despite our form and league position tanking is dangerous. Do players see our standards, ambitions dropping as an excuse to coast this season? if so, how easy will it be to get back to competing for Europe?
