sdb Posted 27 February 2023 Share Posted 27 February 2023 Huge, huge week for the man. And Chelsea will go for a proven, big name manager next. Not some wally who's flirting with relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 27 February 2023 Share Posted 27 February 2023 He’ll be hailed in the media in a couple of weeks for being instrumental in the start of the Chelsea revival - better players, better coached, did well to stay in the game etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come the summer will we be in the position where he'll either walk or we'll struggle along with him for the length of his contract? We just bid £20m for bloody Jack Harrison, sacking Rodgers is a years wages and the replacement who'd cost way less than that so from an accounting perspective over the next 12 months is essentially the cost of the new manager. This isn't the reason, we have to acknowledge that Top absolutely loves Brendan, we are powerless in the current numbers on doing anything. The overwhelming majority of our match going fans don't share the view you would assume from social media and platforms like this. That's what baffles me. The best hope is there's a frank and honest conversation in the summer and Brendan fancies a new challenge but accepts he's not earning £10m a year anywhere else again and that he knows he can't just dig in and keep picking up that money until 2025. He needs to go and prosper again elsewhere and I'm sure he will do. This won't be the last successful period for Brendan at a club, but I'm as sure as I have been on anything that the next success that comes his way is far more likely at another club than here, he has now contributed to the situation where we are worse than when he found us 4 years ago. He isn't fixing us any time soon, just like our injuries aren't going to stop any time soon or that we are going to stop being horribly passive in long stretches of games, usually at the start of games. Momentum and lasting change don't work like that from environments and regimes that have caused it. Once the dynamic shifts, getting back to how he worked 4 years ago is utter fallacy and a pipe dream. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ricey Posted 27 February 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 27 February 2023 His "we clearly aren't going to go and win 6 or 7 on the trot" comment got me at the weekend. I mean, of course, it's highly unlikely, but I don't want my managers saying things like that. I want them to believe in the players and believe that anything is possible. Inject some belief and optimism into the place. I just think he's a manager that is now quite far detached from what resonates with Leicester fans. We are a set of fans that have seen the impossible happen in front of our eyes and although we don't expect that to happen again, having a manager constantly talk down our chances and constantly talk down the quality of the players is draining. "Before we came in the club was happen just to stay up", "We can't compete with the big clubs", "Players careers are short, I total understand why <insert player here> may want to test themselves at a higher level", "Our aim is just to get to 40 points this season", "The quality of the players is what it is, I just have to make the best of it". No wonder the whole club feels flat. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the whole club feels flat. Scott Parker got sacked for less at Bournemouth. Thing is it’s not just the club insiders that allow him to get away with it. I was speaking to some fans who I don’t know on Saturday I was blown away by their opinions, they were very much sticking up for him and when I challenged and debated with them their conclusion/attitude was “He’s going no where so we may aswell just accept that and get on with it/go along with it”. I seen comments on here debating how people attitudes are to other fans, calling them derogatory terms, “Cuck’s” was one of them. Now rather than calling people names I’d rather have a discussion about it all but it’s not hard to understand with attitudes like the one given as an example.

Potter could revamp us from top to bottom behind the scenes and rebuild for the future, Rodgers could give them someone they crave - a manager who’ll spend large on useless players and overfill a squad that they can moan about when it underachieves. It’s win-win all round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. I've seen people say 'What do you expect it was against Arsenal'. As much as I don't like the stat we've had the lowest xG in a Premier League game in the past 6 years. There have been some awful awful teams that had to play those dominating Man City and Liverpool teams in those 6 years and still managed to create more. No excuses anymore.

Potter has been successful at almost every club he has managed. With a little bit of time and smart investment he would do a decent job with us. His style and personality just isn’t the right fit for Chelski, but having assessed his coaching style he would be good fit for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t want him back just himself but NP, Shakey and Steve Walsh all returning would be a different question. I just want a management team that shows steady progress. I understand this is very difficult to achieve at any club, with few recent examples apart from Klopp at Liverpool, Arteta at Arsenal, Pep at City and Potter at Brighton, currently Ten Haag at Utd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 27 February 2023 Share Posted 27 February 2023 I always think it intriguing that people think the press don't beat Rodgers because they don't want to lose access. The national press don't really give a shit about us. The only people that would apply to is Tanner and the Radio Leicester folks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
