LCCFox96 Posted 12 November 2022 Share Posted 12 November 2022 I think Rodgers has burnt a lot of bridges throughout the summer and early season, and severely damaged his relationship with the fans - potentially irreparably with some - through his conduct, comments, and mannerisms. However, for me he deserves credit for one thing in particular - whatever you takeaway from Rodgers for his management style and personal qualities he was in unknown territory as a professional manager. He has been at Leicester the longest of any club in his career and our performances were showing major Rodgers-style cracks and we looked a shell of the team he’d taken to 5th. However, this time he appears to have steadied the ship and hopefully successfully negotiated this period. We all knew our squad had a lot of quality, despite obvious areas of weakness, and a lot our frustration stemmed from Rodgers and the coaching team being unable to set them up in a manner that effectively earned results. Recently, we’ve got ahead, won well, and game managed those wins very efficiently. Hopefully this period is a defining moment in Rodgers’ career, and we can press on and continue to climb the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a quiet considered man, does not do shouting or cajoling, just a bit dull and quite prone to cringe comments. None of these things are requirements for a manager, and there is also no reason think that his ‘troops’ do not like or follow him If you don’t like the man, fine, but surely you must accept he has done well recently? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinterdream Posted 12 November 2022 Share Posted 12 November 2022 I was worried about the Tielemens substitution today, still not sure it improved us but the 3 subs following that pulled it back. Using your 5 subs pays, a great performance, well done Brendan and the lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he hasn't had the ability to strengthen/update the squad as he wanted. Top is a fan of loyalty no doubt and there's something to be said for that! Ferguson had some very bad early years before it came together If we get demoted I'm sure he will be gone, until then, I think he will be here, trying to make it work. It's very, very frustrating for us but... We ain't a top 5 team. We shouldn't be a bottom 5 team either. Let's see. So the 10 people who laughed at this are thinking what now?

I think you’ve just got to swallow whatever you don’t like about the man. In the end, there are 2 things that keep a coach in; results and players. Granted the results have been a serious problem, but the team has ultimately turned it around and he is being judged accordingly. Secondly the players have never appeared to waver in following Rodgers. The leaders of the squad have a “supposed” history in getting coaches sacked and yet have chosen not to do so. Top flight football is a very arrogant game full of hideously arrogant people. Some just hide it better than others (not Rodgers ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
