Guest Posted 12 December 2022 Share Posted 12 December 2022 I'm not sure how likely it is but if he were to see out the season here and then move on to England I'd be all for it from both an England and Leicester perspective. At least Maddison might get a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Renard Posted 12 December 2022 Share Posted 12 December 2022 Rodgers for England, I'm not fully convinced? I don't think he would have done any better than Southgate at the WC. Apart from the Argentinians, all the other QF's were won by teams who sat back and soaked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastAnglianFox Posted 12 December 2022 Share Posted 12 December 2022 (edited) Still not convinced Southgate will walk, I think he's just trying to drum up some sympathy but if he does I actually think the FA will go for Rodgers and will suit pretty much everybody including Leicester. I know we've had a couple of good results before the world cup but long term he's not the answer, he's still damn lucky to be with us imo. As a caveat, I think he's a much better manager than Southgate and can't obvioisly fvckin wait for him to replace Brendan once he jumps ship Edited 12 December 2022 by EastAnglianFox 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 12 December 2022 Share Posted 12 December 2022 I do think the FA would be tempted by his clean reputation when it comes to the way he is as a manager. Never gets in to disputes with other coaches, the media or referees. He'd be a dream for them. Probably the only nation that would pay him a salary similar to what he's on here too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point. The FA love an uncontroversial statesman to represent the national team which is probably a large reason as to why Southgate got the job. Like you say, his track record to take the shift away from the opposition and become friends with the media is perfect for them. I think that they would be too concerned and about comments and general etiquette tarnishing their own reputation with international managers, especially with those such as Tuchel and Mourinho who have proven to be in the headlines regularly.

Lambert09 Posted 12 December 2022 Share Posted 12 December 2022 I was discussing this with my friend just the other day, they were asking who you could actually replace southgate with and Brendan was an obvious choice for me. Works best when given the players. A good man manager. Clean as a whistle (frustratingly so) and obvious experience winning things. And absolutely attainable. The only question that hangs over him, is the mentality that his teams have shown under pressure. The liverpool collapse and both of ours do show that maybe he does struggle to get the best out of players in tense moments. The one thing im sure of though, is that he is far more tactically astute than southgate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 12 December 2022 Share Posted 12 December 2022 He’d be better than Southgate. But I don’t want it to happen. The risk, no matter how unlikely, of Southgate ending up here is too great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
