Popular Post gerblod Posted 12 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 12 March 2023 I've stated this before - Top isn't Vichai. If his passions are elsewhere then it might be that football isn't significant to him. Rodgers passion is Brendan Rodgers, not Leicester City. Whelan is an administrator - I suspect her salary keeps her in a comfortable lifestyle - should she be concerned about how the team is faring? Rodgers has turned out to be a parasite - living off players he inherited and presenting himself as a persuasive voice to the media. There's no passion in the man. He's doing, to paraphrase Spike Milligan, football team manager impressions. Any man in his position with any pride would have walked by now - seeing his team dicing with relegation and knowing, even with all the resources he's been given, that he isn't able to organise talented individuals to produce the results, that he appears to sabotage games by his formations and blundering substitutions. So, very much like when I worked at the pits and my colleagues were complaining about bad management, some laconic individual would just say "NCB" which was the acronym for the National Coal Board. However, it had a dual meaning - "no c**t's bothered" was the other one. It seems that, of the significant figures at City, ncb. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garden leave is given to individuals whose work is substandard or whose position no longer exists or whose influence in the organisation is considered damaging. Constructive dismissal would be making his position untenable by subtle sabotaging - leaving him out of meetings etc. His contract would protect him from the first and his position as top shagger would make destabilising his position very difficult. He could hire a very good brief to act for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ian__marshall Posted 12 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 12 March 2023 (edited) I'm genuinely gobsmacked that he hasn't been shown the door. What saddens me the most is that he seems to be the beneficiary of a level of loyalty not previously shown to previous managers, such as Ranieri and Puel. You can argue they were out of their depth (yet nowhere near the level that BR has exhibited over the last 18 months), but both were decent blokes; one a genuinely lovable and charismatic figure that achieved the impossible, the other having managed the club through the most unexpected traumatic event it's possibly ever faced in an incredibly dignified manner. Yet after what they achieved/did for the club/owners you have to question why they got relatively short periods to turn things around given how much time they've afforded Rodgers. When you see this complete fraudster doing everything he can to belittle the club, board, players, and fans to protect his own reputation whilst destroying all of the hard work that's gone into getting us where we are it's very concerning.

Corky Posted 12 March 2023 Share Posted 12 March 2023 It does appear to be several reported/ guessed factors keeping him here. Top wanting a big name, avoiding a media backlash if he's fired, the board expecting everything to be fine. I don't know why Rodgers is the exception amongst the managers they've hired but unfortunately he appears to be no nearer the exit door. All part of this "decent club" image they are trying to (inaccurately) portray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his passions are elsewhere then it might be that football isn't significant to him. It was made clear right from the day they turned up that Top was the football fan and that Vichai had wanted to buy a football club "for" him. He clears cares a lot about football and I'd say cares a lot about the club. He's also a relatively young guy in his 30s, thrust in to the role of Chairman after the tragic death of his father, lacking (understandably) a lot of the experience his dad had. Vichai being more ruthless and decisive isn't necessarily an indicator that Top isn't passionate about the project here. I'd say that's an unfair assertion. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All part of this "decent club" image they are trying to (inaccurately) portray. I'm genuinely starting to believe that Rodgers has successfully gaslighted the players and the board to actually believing he's a world class manager and the only reason we aren't more successful is everyone else. The board for not investing more, the players for not having the right "mentality." When the reality is he's a middling manager with an okay CV who is hideously underachieving with the resources he has at his disposal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've downgraded him from middling manager to woeful on this seasons evidence. From the starting position that Claude and essentially Vichai left him with he's been found out big time for the spoofer that he is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post is superb but I think the other factor is that you have someone like Rudkin whose happy with the status quo at the moment. He doesn’t want a manager who will challenge him in his role. Rudkin for example is supposed to be the footballing nous to the board…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those 5 little words in your post scare me sh1tless.. If he's here next season and has overseen a rebuild with a large amount of influence that he craves (I have no info to confirm or deny that or how much influence he actually will or does have) in who we get then we are well and truly up the creek, not just without a paddle but the whole sodding boat. His player acquisition record where he's shoved his nose in and had the final say, as we have witnessed over the past year or so is "effing" horrendous.
