TheStig Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 (edited) Maybe Im naive but I cannot see Rodgers at Utd. Its a right shithole there at the moment and should he take over they´d require immediate results and as far as I see it Rodgers likes to work long-term and not to be a quick fix manager. So for me a "higher profiled" manager whilst Rodgers waits for either bringing City to the top again or taking up the Man City position in 18 months time. And I dont think any manager would like to be compared to Ferguson - and not least to have him constantly breathing down his neck Edited 29 October 2021 by TheStig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 I can imagine he's on a shortlist but not at the front. It'd take at least 2, probably 3 or 4 rejections before utd approached us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFiveTime Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 Its also hard to know who we are comparing him to without knowing who is possibly avaialble as a replacement until we know when brendan leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJB-fox Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 Probably being naive here but I think he’ll never be first 3 choices for the big clubs. He’s most likely on their shortlist but will never be first choice (not right now anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam95581 Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 People can't really be questioning whether we are a more attractive proposition than Brighton, surely! Brighton are definitely a club on the up but there is no way they currently have the same global reach that we have given everything we've done over the past 6 years.

LinekersLugs Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 United friendly media already ramping this up, looking at forums and Facebook their fans seem to be comfortable with it, can almost sense it now, feels like this is heading in one direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that Brendan will leave us one day as many managers have done before but it won't be for a long time to come. Move on and stop adding to what is, after all, media hype. Ok close thread. We're not the media - it's a forum. Are we not allowed to discuss when our manager gets linked away by a credible journalistic source?

Pliskin Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 Rodgers won’t going to United, to their fans they would rather Ole stay….. they need to compete with City and Chelsea, so they will go after a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxes96 Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 Interesting pep saying he won’t do another 200 premier league games. Maybe he will just see out his contract until 2023, so Man City could be looking for a new boss in 2 years time. Could be that Brendan is willing to bide his time until then in case he gets offered the job. Not completely convinced Man City would go for Brendan but he might believe he’s in with a shout.

Greg2607 Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 (edited) I think the reality with Rogers, is that IF one of those big clubs come calling. he goes. There is normally a small window for managers for get this type of opportunity unless they are in the truly Elite group of managers (which I don't think Rodgers is) His stock is riding high currently, but if Tielemans didn't sign a new contract and let's say Daka didn't settle and we couldn't sure up the defence without evans (all of which are a possibility over the next 2-3 years) he could find his reputation on the wane and not being talked about by those big clubs again. look at someone like Eddie Howe. Previously talked about as a future manager for big clubs. currently, he isn't even in the conversation. Will he ever be again? who knows. Clearly, as fans, we love Leicester City, we are proud of our club, proud of it's ambition and "the project". But lets not kid ourselves that if Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Barcelona or Real Madrid came in for Rodgers he would choose to stay. He just won't. Not least, because he will have the belief that he can deliver at those clubs, with their budgets. Edited 29 October 2021 by Greg2607 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 29 October 2021 Share Posted 29 October 2021 I think Man Utd are destined to pay obscene wages for one of the 'big name' managers, rather than going for someone like Rodgers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. No way United are sensible enough to go for a great manager like Brendan. They'll probably give it to someone like Zidane. Pay him £10m a year and then realise after 15 months that the fact he doesn't speak a word of English might be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think he would be the ideal candidate. He plays a brand of football that is compatible with our squad and would be a good fit for the overall setup of the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd obviously love us to go out and recruit some Ten Hag or Gasperini style cavalier football genius. But we're probably getting a bit big for our britches if that's seriously what we're expecting. When Rodgers goes it'll be a Frank, Potter, etc level replacement that comes in with near certainty. We've grown as a club but we've not grown THAT much. Antonio Conte isn't going to be knocking on the doors of King Power HQ demanding an interview. If anything, Graham Potter is quite likely to have already set his sights on more ambitious goals than LCFC by the time Rodgers does depart. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
