Popular Post snoopy87 Posted 1 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 1 March 2023 Hate him more than Peter Taylor, and I said after the Forest shambles this had all the hallmarks of that period and I got laughed at. He's come in to the best squad of players this club has ever had and disassembled it and made what's left go backwards. Top's not innocent in all this either, he needs to grow a pair and get rid, or sell up, as his judgement on this appalling. No doubt a round of free beers pre match soon will sort the sheep out though 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My violin is tiny Pretty sure he explained that he was told by Rodgers that he was going to be part of his plans in the summer, and then this window just gone his partner was expecting and unable to move to another country. The whole Vestergaard mess is on the club (including Rodgers). We wanted him, we signed him, and we've given him the contract that he is able to see out.

My violin is tiny I don't think he's really complaining to be fair. He's just saying it as he sees it. He was never going to leave in the last two windows to uproot his family (including newborn), relocate half way across Europe and take a 75% wage cut in the process. It's pretty clear that his career has peaked, he knows he won't get another contract like he's on now. He comes across as someone has come to peace with the situation is happy to pick the cones up at training for millions per year. That's not on him, that's on Brendan and the club.

Pliskin Posted 1 March 2023 Share Posted 1 March 2023 The major factor for me is this whole situation has been engineered by Brendan. It really annoys me when you get these happy folk on the radio and podcasts who seemingly can’t see this? The whole atmosphere within the club has been purely negative since the FA cup defeat to Forest, his tone has been one of desperation and negativity from this moment onwards. This has been regardless of any positives…. That’s the most annoying thing about this circus, is that we’ve allowed this toxic shit defend himself whilst he compromises the clubs premier league status. I don’t think he genuinely gives a shit, because he believed the squad isn’t good enough, and rather than actually fight he would rather just keep reiterating the fact the squad isn’t good enough. This is why we’re doomed, it’s why we won’t survive and we will get relegated. There’s no belief being put into the side, there’s no desire to get out of the situation. Brendan continues to make excuse after excuse whilst the rest of the club suffers. We will go down, and all Brendan will say is “the squad wasn’t up to it, I wanted a refresh and I never got it, there was nothing I could do”…. No amount of free beers or cakes can cover the fact the board are getting this tragically wrong. At the moment we’re walking into a burning building with no protective gear knowing that we will get burnt, but walking in regardless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 1 March 2023 Share Posted 1 March 2023 3 hours ago, Leicester_Loyal said: I am amazed that people now are only just realising the squad looks poor because of Rodgers. Only Maddison has gotten better since Rodgers has been here, no other player has improved consistantly at all, in 4 years. The bloke is a fruad and a piss poor manager, he's genuinely set this club back about a decade, potentially more. He's so inept that I really do think any success happened in spite of him at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 1 March 2023 Share Posted 1 March 2023 1 hour ago, smudgerfox said: I see Vestergaard has given an interview about his exile - saying Brendan pursued him for a season and a half - having several phone conversations with him. It has the ring of truth and it would be an odd one to make up.This really is a remarkable revelation. As I’ve said before the signing of JV was disastrous. The only way BR can come out if it with any credit is if the club forced Vestergaard on him. That clearly is not the case, if anything, the opposite is true. Just to remind ourselves - we played virtually a whole season with a makeshift defence - sometimes with midfielders played out of position, with Amartey first choice at CB and with the whole footballing world, encouraged by Brendan, blaming our inept defending on our injury list. Throughout that whole sorry episode - sat on the bench watching on, was the manager’s £15m signing - a first team centre back, a Danish international, but consigned to the dustbin after a handful of games . This on its own should have him out the door particularly with a large rebuild incoming. This is what you're dealing with here. We really need some of the new players to force him out. We can't trust the old guard anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 1 March 2023 Share Posted 1 March 2023 "Leicester were a team happy just to stay in the league a few years ago", we'd be delighted now you ****ing fraud. He had the most favourable set up possible when he arrived in 2019, he's made us worse in every season since. If we go down I'm praying his career is destroyed, not hopeful though because of his retarded acolytes in the media.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 1 March 2023 Share Posted 1 March 2023 I was a BR supporter for quite a long time but eventually ran out of patience because of his manipulative attitude and cowardly determination to protect how he looks at the detriment to all around him. Brendan before Leicester in other words. Traits you don't notice when things are going well. If he came out and held his hands up, admitted he has underperformed and is trying to put it right with the players we have here now, he would have some credit in the bank for his achievements. But because the man is so unlikeable the credit has long ran out. Putting personal feelings aside it's hard to make a case for him staying just due to results and underperformance alone for an extended period of time. That's why I can't understand why Top keeps him in a job, no matter how strong their personal relationship. He's not stupid, surely he can see the man has running on fumes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
