My point being this is another instance when he says one thing to the media, and then the story changes when it needs to. Someone has got to hold him accountable to this when talking to the press.

Yes very true, but the club have given him the reigns to speak how he wants without filtering, remember his criticism of the board last year etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motty Posted 4 January 2023 Share Posted 4 January 2023 11 losses in 18 games joint worst in the league. we are looking in big trouble again.. see the bookies are taking bets on Rodgers to Everton Would Save Top from having to act if it happens quickly Because i just cant see any point in keeping Rodgers after this season, even if we don't get relegated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post foxile5 Posted 4 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 4 January 2023 Several players - high profile ones too - are quite publicly courting transfers. A good percentage of the squad are known to be seeking moves away. To me, it suggests that the players aren't buying into his vision of a long-term future. I have no doubt that they like him on some level, but they're hardly signing up to his image of the future of Leicester City. It all stinks; there's a malaise at the club and no mistake. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the motives he'd be getting pelters if he'd downed tools Possibly.... he has a remarkable habit of turning into the player he could be when the transfer window opens though, like clockwork!

Popular Post Dames Posted 4 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 4 January 2023 4 minutes ago, StanSP said: Who? From this summer to now I think the following: Fofana - Got his move. Tielemans - Hasn't signed a new deal for 2 years and in that 2 years his agent has been twerking for any decent sized club. Maddison - Hasn't signed a new deal that would make him the highest paid player in the clubs history, links away are getting stronger. Soyuncu - Looks to be signing a pre-contract agreement and could be off this month. Soumare - Wanted out in the summer but had to settle for staying when no club thought he was worth 15 million. Praet - Has wanted out for the past few windows but no club willing to match our valuation. Perez - Wants to go back to Spain. Mendy - Has wanted out due to lack of first team football for years but no genuine interest. It also wouldn't surprise me if Iheanacho is considering his options due to his lack of game time and players like Bertrand and Evans could consider retiring due to their injuries. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery has won several europa leagues but that’s about it. I’m not sure he’s as great as everyone seems to make out. All very true, but whilst Rodgers stock was high so was the club's. Since then the club and BR have been locked together on a seeming death spiral - No top 6 EPL team would touch him now imo and no proven manager would come here given that we apparently dont have two epneys to rub together to improve a poor, overpaid squad. When Rodgers arrived we were a golden chalice now we're a poisoned one. Totally agree about Emery btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wage bill if correct is scandalous for a club our size and any other business would be bankrupt given our turnover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkielcfc Posted 4 January 2023 Share Posted 4 January 2023 The guy just looks so uninspiring on the touchline, stands with his hands in his pockets majority of the game, does the odd clap now and again and writes some dribble down, never instructing or coaching anything towards the players unless they come to him during a break in play. Has absolutely no passion towards anything in game. Needs the bullet and sharpish!! He himself hasn’t got the balls to get us out of trouble when push comes to shove!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 4 January 2023 Share Posted 4 January 2023 I would love to know what he says to some of these players behind closed doors and what he does with them in training So many players we know can be absolutely quality look completely out of form and bereft of any confidence at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why he has to keep changing his narrative in the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Renard Posted 4 January 2023 Share Posted 4 January 2023 (edited) I want Rodgers gone, but most of us know we can't lay all the blame on him. I feel the club got drunk on 'hubris' after a couple of successful years pushing the top 4, those at the top lost their direction and started to maybe believe that with one last push, the club could break into the top 4. The new training ground was meant to catapult the club into a new era, but all we have seen is injury after injury. Players don't seem to be improving and the media spiel the club were putting out about how the new complex would attract, and keep players has turned out to be utter bulls**t. The premier league is littered sorry tales of clubs like ours trying to fly too close to the sun, maybe Top is Icarus, or could it be Rodgers? But the only logical solution to this is to give Rodgers his P45, but when has logic ever been implemented in football! My concern is that when, or if Rodgers goes, we'll end up like Sunderland or Villa. The club might stop the rot in the short term, but the damage has already infected the club. I feel it is going to be squeaky bum time for the next few years. Edited 4 January 2023 by Le Renard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players wont risk a through ball. The times we do we get chances - but anxiety means that barnes now looks for a pass, ayoze snatches - even vardy is too cauti0ons when thru, Rodgers is out of ideas - he is not motivator or leader - just blaming everyone else ,. Time was up last season for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 4 January 2023 Share Posted 4 January 2023 The fact Rodgers is still in the role shows there's failure above him and I don't back those people to suddenly develop a footballing nouse. So they're going to have to luck out on another Pearson or Puel type of manager that actually has an interest in improving the club rather than using it to stroke their ego. Madness to invest so much money in facilities and then let amateurs run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgerfox Posted 4 January 2023 Share Posted 4 January 2023 Another factor in the “small squad” problem is the lack of development players knocking on the first team door. Nearly all the loanees are flopping - the development team seems every bit as bad as the first team - didn’t Vestergaard feature in a 7-1 defeat to Fulham recently ? And most of the players who look superior quality are in positions we’re okay in. Meanwhile two ex Academy players are playing at a high level in Europe. I’m not saying it’s all Brendan’s fault but he inherited widely admired medical, recruitment and youth set ups - all of which have deteriorated rapidly during his time here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilworthfox Posted 4 January 2023 Share Posted 4 January 2023 (edited) From what I have seen he is jovial around the players and makes jokes he is seemingly a happy camper. There are players who are frozen out because they do not train as expected therfore they don't play. They want to move on, which is sad because they are better than those in the first team. Not too much has changed apart from the results. We have been found out! There has been no reaction, no changes so we will continue to be found out. If we analyse most of the games where we have got good results this and last season, it's not because we are the better team, but because in moments where a talented individual has an opportunity, they score a worldie and save his job. The football & tactics are so ineffective it should be a crime against football, Given the quality of the squad which has been built over the last decade. We have never had a better set of talent within the 1st team players at our club, it is beyond frustrating to see the decline especially considering the teams we are losing to, and their progress they have made over the past 3 seasons. We showed that success is built on strong recruitment, and having a strong footballing identity. We now have had some poor past transfer windows and are the most generic team without character in English football. It upsets me greatly that I just cannot bring myself to watch it until BR is removed from his position. It feels like we need to be relegated just to start all over again. It's truly awful.

FoxFossil Posted 4 January 2023 Share Posted 4 January 2023 OK so it feels like we are in the endgame for Brendan. So when, not if, he goes. As we have a small buffer above relegation, I guess the calculation is that every week they delay sacking, the lower the cost. I haven't done a graph, but once the buffer goes, the duffer goes.

Ndidi hit a 10 yard pass over Barnes head and out for a throw-in in the first half and he sorts there clapping My head went at that and some of my language was a bit distasteful, apologies to those around me, but the bloke is comical.

filthyfox Posted 4 January 2023 Share Posted 4 January 2023 I have reviewed my expectations.. 2/4 wins, and one of those wins MUST be Forest. Can't go losing against Forest AGAIN, now, can we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
