Brendan Rodgers

It’s emerging that Rodgers isn’t even on Spurs shortlist, so the plan by the board, might be ridiculous anyhow.

 

He’s damaged his own brand and inevitably being found out to be the a short term coach. 

Basically anybody who can take him from us can see through him but our own board / media / anybody with any serious sway in this can't so we're stuck with him regardless.

 

I'm beyond frustration with it all now. It's just depressing.

His wages would probably be as much as the other 23 in the division combined anyway!

We're paying those wages whether he's managing or not.  If Top refuses to fire him it's his call whether he stays or not.

I desperately want him gone and I'm grasping at straws I just don't see Top firing him so my next hope is that for some reason he just fcuks off.

I wanted him gone before the fa cup win for his tactics. I'll thank him for that. But I didn't want him.

 

Celtic and Liverpool fans told us what he was. At best 3 seasons then it goes backwards. We didn't even get that. He's destroyed our club. We've bought players for him that he's destroyed.

 

God rest Leicester City while he is with us.

Officially the biggest ever thread on Foxestalk.

He can have that this season..

Officially the second biggest waste of space behind Peter Taylor atm. But that will change.

At least we won't be down before saffron lane takes the xmas decorations down at Easter 🤣🤣🤣

For those who have been supporting us pre the latest PL years we've got our club back, always able to take promising situations and shoot ourselves in the foot. Would the real Leicester please stand up. Just glad we got to experience a few years of glory before the inevitable descent back to mid table in the Championship. Any real Leicester fans knew our time in the top flight wouldn't last let's be honest.

 

I'll always treasure the time from when Pearson joined to the covid years. A true golden era. We have achievements nobody can take from us and that's what matters.

 

Yes BR is the bogeyman who has taken us there but underachieving and herioc failure is just in the DNA of this club I'm afraid and that's the contract you sign supporting Leicester. 

 

The Johnny come latelys can find a new club and we'll go back to being able to get tickets to watch 0-1 defeats to Rotherham and Blackpool, like the good old days.

To credit Rodgers, he took the cup seriously by fielding strong sides from the beginning of it, and our players fought very well to win the final. But in another world where the Chilwell goal was not ruled out we'd be slating Rodgers for bringing on a finished Morgan (as romantic as that was) to score an own goal and likely sink us in extra time. It was one of our greatest days as a club but he has dined out on that victory for far too long. I'd argue we won it on the strength of the squad we'd largely built before his arrival and not from any tactical masterclass on his part.

Is he officially worse than Peter Taylor now? We're getting very close to that territory.

Difficult to call the club with the biggest achievement in sporting history the underachievers. No matter what happens from here on in.

 

And I didn't hear no bell

Remember Nacho scoring against Brighton when about 7 men left him unmarked as well.

 

Nacho and Youri deserve so much more credit for that cup win than Rodgers.

[dylanlegend]

How and why is he still our manager? Does anyone actually think he is the future of our football club? Surely no supporters still have his back?

I think even those on here who have been extremely patient and only just turned will be surprised.

 

I know I’ve joked about our happy clappy fanbase, even if my attitude is coming across as “arrogant” as described the other week but I was shocked at the looks I got and how many people started shouting at me for joining in with Rodgers Out chants on Saturday.

Whilst I'm not saying this is your view. That's exactly what the older people say thay don't want Rodgers gone. This is just Leicester being Leicester. It needs to stop.

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. 

Unfair assertion or not, there's a common theme running through the relationships of successful fathers not having sons who inherit their fathers business acumen or drive - usually because they (the sons) haven't had to struggle to build a business.

Sentiment aside, a man of thirty should be well-equipped to be able to take up the reins - if he's been mentored well enough.

The question remains, in spite of your refutation, why is he so reluctant to fire Rodgers when the proof of his failure to consolidate a solid position in the Prem mounts weekly.

....the Arsenal supporters "The Black Shirts" who marched on game day were roundly booed by the majority of their supporters!!!

  They were viewed as disloyal and an embarrassment to their club. The only problem with that was they were right, and Wenger's tenure should have been curtailed some time ago.

 The clamour became so loud and the marches persisted for so long, even Wenger and his board had to take notice. Apparently the Arsenal board had a contract on the table for him to sign, blindly believing that he was the person, who would bring back the glory days. Wenger himself felt that his supporters had stabbed him in the back and could not continue to work for a club unappreciated. 

  Wenger's refusal to step down at an appropriate time had set Arsenal back years.

 Arteta now holding the reins has now put them where they had been some time ago. Wenger stepping down was the best thing that happened to Arsenal.

  It is very strange what a show of integrity (Wenger stepping down) and a minority of dissenting voices (The Black Shirts) can achieve , if you whole heartedly believe in something.

I wouldn't get to dissapointed, with the fanbase, I have a feeling if we lose 2 more on the bounce the noises for dismissal will be greater, and louder, from every corner, the Media as well.

 

Once we end up in the bottom 3, it will become untenable, the issue is not everyone is as passionate as FT, er's and can see the writing on the wall early enough, or are bothered enough once in the bottom 3 attitudes will change wholesale. I hope!!

No, I truly hate him more than any manager we've had in the 30+ years I've been a supporter...

 

Peter Taylor, was an incompetent waste of space who nearly killed us financially.

 

Rodgers too is an incompetent waste of space, but also his back stabbing and under the bus throwing of fans, players and just about anyone else to preserve his reputation disgusts me. Chuck in his "level 100" arrogance and ego and stubbon perseverance with sh1t players and BrendanBall tactics that don't and never worked. 

 

Just hearing his voice makes my skin crawl and boils my blood  and I genuinely turn the radio down until he's gone, hence I haven't listened to any of his BS interviews for well over a year.

 

The above is probably a bit irrational, but I don't think I'm alone here on FT and others have similar feelings.

 

Oh, and don't get me started on the blokes teeth!

2007.

 

Martin Allen, Jon Rudkin, Steve Beaglehole, Mike Stowell, Gary Megson, Frank Burrows, Gerry Taggart, Ian Holloway.

 

I’d take any of them over Rodgers.

 

Not even lying for effect.

At least the Taylor demise was done in 9-10 months. It is like a slow death with Brendan at the helm so makes it much worse!
