I would be really interested to know Rodgers’ movements during the World Cup break.

 

How much time was he on holiday vs actively working on plans for the rest of the season?

 

After our start to the season he should have been all over the opportunity to assess and ensure we were nothing like that ever again. But the Newcastle was depressingly familiar from that first part of the season.

 

When I did the training ground tour after Moscow it was an international break week and, despite the players who weren’t away with their international teams due to be in that week, apparently Rodgers was on holiday. With the 6-week beak they get in the summer, I’d just assumed that was the only time of the year football managers ever went on holiday.

Surely it has to be worth the pay off to Rogers, to see whether a new coach can get more of a tune out of the existing squad, you could easily save the Rogers compensation, if a new coach is able to significantly improve just one player of the Current squad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Absolutely, we desperately need a refresh and new ideas.

Jason Bourne has posted some interesting comments Rodgers has made about Soyuncu on Twitter. In a surprise to no-one Rodgers comments and actions on the matter absolutely do not align. 
 

 

Mind boggling. Does he think you just have to be a bullshitter to the bitter end? At the best it's some mind games to try and get a few quid for him which will go horribly wrong and we're stuck with lord farquad until his contract ends

In other words, I need him to play in a 5 at the back today, so I’ll say something positive to give him a lift.


Afterwards, he will be never seen again in a Leicester shirt.

In what way?

About being a player they want to keep. He’s been frozen out something rotten for the past 9 months with centre mids and right backs preferred ahead of him. Thats not how you treat a player you want to keep. 
 

I imagine the club are now in panic stations about the situation coming up in the summer.

Sounds like he is promoting him for sale, but as always, I believe nothing he says good, bad or madness

An explanation of part of the malaise amongst the supporters there.

 

If that were Pearson, Ranners, or even Puel saying that then they majority of the fan base would take it at face value. But they wouldn't. They'd have not be drawn on commenting or told some version of the truth.

 

Brendan, however, is a known bullshit artist calling up down and black white. It's not what you want as fans, is it? We can SEE what's going on as plain as day. He just thinks we're moronic and he's on another level or plain of intelligence.

 

'And by the way, Jason, have you tried this fabulous snake oil...'

Those types of comments are the sort that make me dislike BR as a person. He's comes across as being quite disingenuous. One moment he's singling out a player for criticism within the public domain only to then claim he'd like said player to remain despite showing no intent to play them. By all means I acknowledge that he's entitled to change his opinion based upon circumstances at any given moment but there's absolutely no need to speak publicly.

That’s the trouble with these tweets and the like, you see the responses, designed to incite and get clicks, but you never see the questions posed to illicit the responses. :)

The list of failures over the past 2 years has just become too big to handle for Rodgers.

- Vestergaard and Bertrand signings clogging up squad and wage bill. Catastrophic error.

-Ostracizing of Soyuncu, Mendy when they are really needed.

- Inability to coach defence until a specialist came in.

- Appointment of Evans as captain when he has failed to play regularly for 2yrs.

- Albrighton as vice captain when he had no intention of playing him. 

- Reliance on Tielemans when he has no intention to stay and has barely been over half way in months.

- Taking Iheanacho from a 20 goal striker to barely in the squad with no explanation.

- Leaving Perez and Praet entirely out of squads and then putting them in to important games with no match sharpness.

- using Thomas, then describing our LBs (just him) as not good enough all while ignoring we could play Castagne left back and Amartey, Albrighton or someone else right back.

- Baffling articulation of injuries so that no one ever knows whats going on.

- erosion of core lcfc traits. Pace, Power, and defensive organisation to resemble a sort of quasi late wenger era arsenal with no spine, spirit or plan b.

- clear fall out in close season, but not enough courage to leave. 

- bizarre 'whispering bollocks' pre and post match approach to press conferences, totally uninspiring and not attractive to prospective players.

- describing our issue as stature and physicality and then not doing anyything about it. 

 

Well past time to go.

Very true, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand what the media's agenda is and it's pretty easy to sidestep so I'm disappointed that such comments keep appearing.
