Tom12345 Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 I can’t bear myself reading about what Rodgers’ excuse in the media is this time. Please only tell me if he says something about admitting mistakes or resigning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HesNotGudjonsonn2 Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 I am sure I just heard on MOTD, Brendan say they are doing their best but it isn’t good enough. Surely that means you are incapable of what is expected. Insane. Sack him! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and be totally wrong but it does fee like we're holding Rodgers hostage and Rodgers is holding us hostage. The players don't want to be here but then nobody else wants them. Nobody wants this situation we're in but the contract was signed and you have to honour it. Everybody is trapped. Reminds me of the Reservoir Dogs 3-way shoot-out scene. And that's us fans being played by Tim Roth lying in a pool of blood and dying. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazzyfox Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 (edited) Despite the club having a sustainability model of selling a star name each summer, this summers recruitment was jaw dropping ly abysmal, un-competitive and embarrassing for anyone connected to the club. Youri didn’t go so model breaks. Not retaining or replacing Lookman was inexcusable, yes man for man Praet returned but as a goal and assist contributor we’re a man down before a balls kicked, the worst window of all 20 clubs and surprise surprise we’re struggling. Pretending we wanted Wes to stay whilst knowing we couldn’t afford him to stay, Rodgers has not had the backing he needed last summer regardless of how many poor transfers the previous year, if you stand still you move backwards, we didn’t just stand still we moved further backwards. I find his non-substitution protests such as Brentford in-excusable to anyone who had paid for a ticket, the solution was to quit in August in disgust at backing, we all know why he wouldn’t do that.

He is 100% prepared with his list of excuses of why he isn't to blame when he gets sacked. He knows his reputation is taking a kicking right now and I genuinely believe he would be quite relieved to get the sack, so he could get on with the PR campaign of blaming everything else, apart from himself. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd also previously said he has a big say in things. To hint that he doesn't know or has had no say at all is yet another fork tongued distancing from any problems.

fuchsntf Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 (edited) It would make no difference, but this season if Rodgers admitted we were crap,chased our failures and tried to change it with basic descisions… # Amartey ( love him but..!! ) Since fit, Rodgers must play Soyuncu. # We need 2 up front.. # I don’t think Nacho is the answer,but the other set ups ain’t working,so he deserves to be selected,for 4-6 games, then decide Daka/Vardy/Barnes #Bring in 2 attacking Academy players. # Give Braybrooke his chance, he might give more fight & spirit like KDH # Dont ask players,like Praet/Ayroz to fill gaps ,play them in their best positions. #Try Barnes inside supporting CF (whoever), he did well at WBA in the inside channels..He’s no good defending.. # Ndidi from the Bench, Mendy our first choice DM.. # push Tielemans up.. # Braybrooke/Praet / KDH ( if fit) can play in Tielemans (present) Role # put Amartey at RB, then Soyu,Faes,Castagna.. # or play just back 3.. ## just try something different,different approach with new blood… ## Then stick to it..! ##+ Maddison, KDH come in when fit..see 2nd choice.. + if one prefers back 4. then Tielemans either on bench,or instead of Praet. Iverson (Brunt)+ Soyuncu. Faes…..Castagna Mendy Braybrooke Praet. McAteer Tielemans Nacho Barnes —————————————— ##+ Iverson (Brunt)+ Soyuncu Faes Castagna Mendy Braybrooke Praet. KDH Maddison Nacho Barnes/Mcateer + then Praet fallsback as sub.. At present Rodgers brain is an unmovable blob… That is what has suprised me, I thought his strength was his flexability and try new things & young players… Then give his players more freedom to play on the front foot,it’s not just changing players one for one,but attitude,aptitude & approach need to change also…If relegation ,though I believe with the above we won’t.. but if, then Go down at least bloody fighting..!! & with some youngsters ready to fight another day.

That’s clearly not an issue now. Then we were told we had to improve our revenue to compete with other teams with regards to wages. I seen something the other day to say we were in the top 20 clubs in the world when it comes to revenue. Again that shouldn’t be an issue. Something doesn’t add up. .. I am not sure it was regarding revenue, more like the value of the club!!! The value is said to be between £428m. - £467m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudger63 Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 (edited) He should have been sacked after the Brighton game, just after the last transfer window shut. He said we needed a big refresh after the last debacle at Notts Forest in the Cup. (A warning of things to come if ever there was one!) He was right, we did need a big refresh. Knowing what we know now, we had no money to invest for the big refresh, so if you can't refresh the players then the best way to refresh, is to change the manager. The problem doing it before the start of this season, was going to be attracting a high quality manager, after telling him he would have no money to spend in the summer, so sticking with Rodgers would have been deemed preferable, and in the hope that all would be well. Well of course it hasn't been, and by the time we got spanked at Brighton, and the summmer window had shut, we had 1 point, and had just lost 5 league games on the bounce, and needed pens to get by Stockport in the league Cup. That is when he should have been sacked, and a refresh of sorts implemented. It would have given a new manager plenty of time to stamp his personality and way of playing on to the players. Everyone with a clean slate and something to prove, and those who were frozen out, given another chance to impress. We seemingly have now found some money to invest this transfer window, whether that be only the Fofana money or a little more besides we don't know, but the fact we have some to spend would have meant that we could have enticed a decent manager here with the promise of funds for him to bring new players in, in the January window. The damage that has been done by those at the top sitting on there hands, may well be irreparable this season. There is so much wrong at the club its ridiculous. The under 18s rock bottom of their league, the under 21s bottom but one of their league, and the ladies bottom and destined to go back down, and dont even start me on how we seem to get so many injures every season these days! It's an absolute shambles. It feels like those running the club have taken their eye off the ball, closed their eyes, and stuck their fingers in their ears, so they don't see and hear the reality of how shockingly bad it has got!
