Simon Jordan's (and most of our) opinion is that if you aren't getting the bets out the players then you need to go. He also highlights (like most of us do) that he hides behind other reasons for these shortcomings and detaches any blame because the PR of Brendan means more than this club doing well. Simon Jordan is one of the only people i can listen to talk about football to be honest. Which probably says a lot about modern punditry. If i did have to criticise him, i do think he tends to take the side of an owner over manager no matter what, obviously because of his previous role at Palace. That said, he's one of very very few who can see our situation for what it is, and not the tiresome pundit opinion that he's done with with a small club. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Bent sticks out like a sore thumb (in a good way!) for the same reason despite provocation from twats like Goldstein, White, O'Hara, Agbonlahor and Durham. Oh yeah, Jordan isn't exceptional by any means but just good to have somebody look at the whole picture of a situation rather than the dismissive "Yeah but Brendan is top class, never his fault" merchants we get given. Agreed, too, on Darren Bent. Deserves far better than to be paired with that tosser Goldstein. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may dislike that format but it's not contrarianism. Of course that can't be said for people like Gabby Agbonglahor who clearly makes incendiary shit up as he goes along for attention What Jim White does is the very definition of contrarianism, it doesn't matter what it's ultimate purpose is.

Guest Col city fan Posted 18 January 2023 Share Posted 18 January 2023 (edited) Jim White definitely gets Simon Jordan ranting on purpose. And Jordan always falls for it. But I think the biggest WUM on talk sport has to be Adrian Durham. The piss he takes out of Arsenal fans is a joy to behold. Although this season….

Signed a couple of Chelsea academy kids when he was at Watford in his first job having worked at their academy Signed Scott Sinclair at Swansea Signed Joe Allen at Liverpool Signed Scott Sinclair and Kolo Toure at Celtic Brought Kolo with him to Leicester and signed Bertrand Yes, he worked with some of these at youth level but he’s done it at every club he’s been at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 18 January 2023 Share Posted 18 January 2023 I could see Brendan lasting until the end of the season especially if it seems like we're going to avoid relegation since we were at this state a few months ago and Top held steady. And assuming we don't drag ourselves through the footballing equivalent of a barbed-wire fence and keep Brendan until his contract expires, whoever we get next season will need to be the kind of manager who can build a team, given our outgoings, rather than the kind of manager who can successfully joyride an existing team to success and then continue through back of a third-rate supermarket (losses to Forest). I remember reading about broken organisational situations and one was called the Death March: everyone knows what's going on is stupid and will ultimately doom us but everone does it anyway since their collective belief that things can change, or motivation to change those things at least, is close to zero. That's where I am now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could play a diamond though but dunno it we have enough cms Then he should play 4-4-2. It's so obvious, and simple. There are several other viable formations that allow for 2 up top without having to play 5 at the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not knocking you at all, genuinely curious, as I too think 2 up front is needed) Edited 19 January 2023 by Guppys Love Child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 (edited) Interestingly Rodgers bring in people he know and its call nepotism on Foxestalk. Nigel Pearson takes the likes of James, King and is seen as a good thing. Rodgers probably need to go, but people need to be balanced on criticism.

Only one you can level at him in this regard is bringing his mate Congerton with him from Celtic and breaking our established and successful scouting/transfer model in a huge grab of power. The club has clearly started to claw that power back but the damage is done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d worked with Ryan Bennett too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 Must be the day journalists sit and have a nice cup of tea, having a friendly chat, nodding and smiling in awe of Rodgers isn’t it? Not daring to follow up any of his answers, allowing him to feed them more bullshit followed by them thanking him for their opportunity to speak to him.

Considering we're one of the smallest in the league (in Brendan's mind) then that's pretty poor for those lads. It's a nice new excuse though, or at least one he's not used often.

He's spouted a lot of crap lately but with this I actually think he's bang on. Its very clear a number of our players don't want to be here anymore and see themselves as bigger than the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
