I agree with your second point but not your first one. Rodgers did achieve and help us dream for first couple of seasons, although we fell at the final hurdle in the league twice. Worth poaching him for that in my view. However his sell by date has long passed and he should never have been awarded the length of extension we gave him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with no attempt to alter the slow turgid crap we play. It’s not about the quality of signings though. Burnley under Dyche carried on signing like for like, which makes me confident to believe that he wouldn’t change his style of play here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Fannieri Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 Rodgers is playing a blinder in the media, with his tails of woe and bleating on about a lack of transfers etc and nobody with the exception of Jason Bourne really questioned him on the things that were going wrong that was in his control. the media are happy to peddle Brendan’s bullshit and unfortunately there are very few, if any, that offer any element of challenge as to the injury record since his arrival, the amount spent on players, his best mate installed as head of recruitment, his new contract, the fact the board didn’t sell one of our stars last summer and backed him to go and build on 2 5th placed finishes and the FA Cup win, his tactical stubbornness and why move away from a successful formula just before the World Cup break and finally the number of players in the squad he chooses to ignore than utilise them to rotate, freshen things up and most importantly protect players from burn out/breaking down.

Pliskin Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 It’s the narrative that Brendan has created. Like I said yesterday, none of this was coming until he threw the board under the bus by talking about a refresh. It completely shifted the whole feel of the club. We’d just come off the back of a huge recruitment drive, and suddenly Brendan wanted a clear out? So where the hell have things gone wrong? He has just spent the best part of 12 months playing tennis with us all, returning any hint of criticism by defending himself and his legacy….. he’s created an environment at the club of where even some of our fans now believe his bullshit…. This squad is not as bad as he has made us, there’s no ****ing way….. they looked completely lacking a leader yesterday…. N’didi is strolling around the pitch looking completely lost, like he’s not even interested anymore, he was once talked about as one of best defensive midfielders in the country at least…… Cags…. Another player who was on top of the world and then suddenly fell off a cliff. Throughout Brendan’s tenure here there we’ve had some highs, but we’ve also had some absolute car crash periods too. He has fallen on his sword. And the fact the board still haven’t acted is ludicrous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 Before the WC this thread went totally cold. I applaud the consistent posters on here but too many base their comments on the last few results. Rodgers was never as good as so many on here thought and some of those who now rage about him praised him to the skies before. He is a football manager , ten a penny , they are all disposable. Or should be so never give them a long contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has input on the final say, not complete control. The club has a recruitment strategy in place designed by Head of R, the manager, the board etc. The players that are then chucked up from the process of that plan will then be discussed based on requirements, budgets, circumstances. Obviously if a manager is desperate for a certain player, the above can go out of the window, but then manager then takes full accountability and the blame lies at his door if they’re poor. If BR left tomorrow the strategy in theory would be tweaked but not dismantled, unless the new manager came in and said WTF is this, which he probably will do given some of our transfers Edited 15 January 2023 by TJB-fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they think it was maybe the start of him turning it around and an upturn in fortunes? Definately but it wasn't. We have won 5 games from 19 in the league this season. That's not good enough and that's what opinions are based on, not runs of 4/5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract is what has crippled us… how short sighted could the board be to do such a thing…… if they did not put contingency plan together in the event of a crisis, then more fool them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 First time yesterday Rodgers acknowledged we are in a relegation battle and told the players that what the f**k was he thinking before yesterday’s game? That we were challenging for mid table and higher? It feels like the whole club not just Rodgers are totally immune to the situation, heads should roll. This isn’t just a blip it’s been happening for far too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go down. Walks away. No worse off. Because all he has to do it wait for a 3 year deal they pays him off in the event a club wants to part with his services. In your example he is far worse off being let go on a short term deal. At the end of the day, we are just another job, and quite frankly offering 5 month deals stinks of not backing someone.
