The earliest he could make amends would be in the January window, but that is notoriously expensive and difficult to do deals in. Not much would have changed, it would still be one out and one in. Top may be worrying about the decision he has made, and he is not winning any friends at the moment, but I believe he can only sit and watch this play out, he is committed to his decision, right or wrong!! If money wasn’t available in the summer, with the future as a premier league team. I’d very much doubt they will be splashing the cash if relegation looks a real possibility. unless it’s lower tier players on low wages for the future.

BenTheFox Posted 18 October 2022 Share Posted 18 October 2022 I will not be celebrating when Rodgers gets sacked. Granted, the arsonist will finally be taken away in a police car, but he would have burned most of the house down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 18 October 2022 Share Posted 18 October 2022 Presser today? I hope they turn the screw on him but they won't, he's afforded way too much respect which is ironic given he claimed they'd been disrespectful to ask him about him being too expensive to be replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically telling them they are only good enough to survive in this league. Absolute dogshit management, even if you genuinely have a relegation threatened squad, it is the job of the manager to motivate and make the players believe they are worldbeaters. Sooner he is gone the better. Edited 18 October 2022 by joachim1965 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner he is gone the better. What was it Ranieri used to say? Or was it ok because his motivation technique of taking multi millionaires out for a £12 pizza made up for it? I’d imagine the number 1 target / objective for 14 teams at the start of every season is get to safety, it doesn’t mean that’s the ceiling, just like Ranieri. Why get all hot under the collar because 40pts is mentioned, of course that’s are 1st target who knows after that I’m sure the squad aren’t sitting there thinking ok that’s all we have to aim for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 18 October 2022 Share Posted 18 October 2022 Doesn’t look like Jason Bourne is at the presser today One of not many (only) who is actively calling him out and asking tough question. The written press have obviously hit a nerve, he may have upset them with his attitude and actions, they might be smelling blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always the objective of every Premier league club to stay in it, and 40 points is the accepted amount that should keep you there, but to say that from the start, especially with this group of players is demotivating, Claudio , let's be honest didn't think he had a league winning team and once we started to win, the 40 points was to keep the players grounded and was also a little tongue in cheek. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice the other week OPA, Bourne, Tanner, e.t.c, didn't seem to be present at the presser which I found strange, the following week they returned though so i'm not sure there was actually anything in that.

The bloke is a grade A cvnt. Perfect Brendan for ya. Whatever fits his narrative at the time. He knows he’s on the verge of getting the sack & all of a sudden he’s rimming Top each week saying how amazing he is. I just hope Top isn’t naive enough to not see through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_no7 Posted 18 October 2022 Share Posted 18 October 2022 Honestly now believe (or HAVE to believe) the club are leaving it till mid November where the new manager and his staff will have loads of time to implement style/improvements before the league resumes after the WC.

Name on the article was Jim White, (not the Jim White formerly of Sky Sports currently of TalkSport). But the article claimed "A little huddle had gathered round him in a corridor at the King Power to collect his views" so it could have been anyone.
