If he doesn't feel it is good enough, he can walk away. But no, this stupid sport sets it out that he'll get his money regardless of how he performs or behaves. New signings are all well and good but if we lose the next two we still won't have done enough. He can overhaul the squad in the summer and there will be other excuses. Surely he will be gone in the Summer - the only question is what league we will be in. As he seems to alienate more of his squad it will be some achievement if we stay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what has happened is that he appears to be saying that he has no hand in the players coming in when he was shouting that no one comes in without his approval and the fact that he claimed to have had numerous calls in the summer window attempting to bring players in. Yes and if you remember, apparently he spent his summer holidays speaking to players he wanted to bring in only to find there was no money to do so. So involved? Or not involved?

This is Rodgers acting the same as he always has at every club towards (hopefully in our case ) the end of his nightmare raigns, he finds a 'Reputation Saving' excuse and uses the media to help him spread his BS to the world. In our case, its lack of financial backing, It started pre season with th lack of the needed re fresh narrative (I would be surprised if he didn't have at least some inkling of what the financial standing of the club at that point was and wished for something he knew he'd never get) and it was carried on at the beginning of the January's transfer window about the lack of money again. Its the continual digs at every media opportunity, it was the subject he gave most time too and put the most emphasis on but always pops in a little token gesture quip of how great the owners are. And it's worked. How many times did we hear match commentators mention his lack of spending as a reason for our struggles a day or so after the press conference? His latest dig that some of the players aren't good enough and are not doing what he wants on the pitch, will be the next seed he plant's The end result is he walks away once eventually sacked with a 'Well it wasn't my fault' excuse to the tune of I was't back and look at the sh1t players I couldn't replace..remember, I'm not a magician. No mate your a fraud, but if you could manage a team as well as you spin the media we'd be playing champions league football. You took that 100% out of perspective and also highlighted one line only which wasn't helpful at all. I've said many times my feelings on Rodgers, just go and read them before pigeon holing me into something that you find I'm the opposite of.

How have I taken this out of perspective.. you quoted Imo this is about Rodgers showing consistent perseverance to get funds into the team by all means necessary but not getting it. All I did was disagree with you on this line. (Its the reason for the existence of HYS Forums to post differen tviews) I then pointed out that in my view he wasn't trying to achieved the goal you suggested of obtaing funds but again IMO he was performing his self preservation act in the media I then went on to quantity my opinion as to why I believe in my point/post. Not once in my post did I mention YOUR views on Rodgers and I certainly haven't Pigeon holded you into anything.. all I've done is post an opposite opinion to you.

That suggestion is if looked at from all angles, personnel and departments in the club from their perspectives as a singular objective including for BR which is the one I gave in my original post.

The guy has zero accountability! Perfect analogy It's half the job to be aware or observe the shortcomings. The more important other half, as a manager, would be try and do something about it. Why is the team not collectively working together? He's got the questions, but consistently failed to find the answers. You can make allowances for the odd lapse in concentration by one player once/twice in a season. But it's every game. At some point alarm bells should be ringing as to why, and ask himself what can I do about this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 Honestly I'm here for it, for when in a few weeks or when the rebuild happens that he says we aren't as fortunate as the clubs who have settled sides with players who have been there years and its going to take time for the team to unite and grow. Like last season when he bemoaned we weren't experienced enough as a side, it was a staggering excuse to use. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vazman Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 It's a real hard watch at the minute, every match we play, I sense a loss, or a draw at best, "Fearless Foxes" is a Motto, by which the owner "Top" should hold everyone, and I mean everyone at the club too account over, anything less is unacceptable. As it stands it's just a strap line with no meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I with many didn't understand his appointment...but there are always ones that don't quite fit...Pep & klopp,and Ranieri had some bad calls,then changed or stuck with them... Crucifying every move don't make one a good judge...It's easy to fall over other people's failures....There is nowhere you can go with it...The fact he was moved on shows mistakes can be rendered...Just yapping over negatives don't make wise kings...
