It really is a fetish for the idea that things can’t get better and to accept mediocrity. Reflects our current society and is almost akin to the USSR. 

Always the same bootlicking demographic that demand you are grateful no matter what.

I want relegation because it’s the only way this guy leaves.

Too many into the little old Leicester trope as well.

I know its a meme but a certain demographic really defines themselves by the ‘we were in league one not so long ago’ fact/comment.

You have to know the history of the city and its people to understand this mentality. My father"s family have been here for centuries. They are undemonstrative and extremely disinclined to make a fuss. Its deep in their nature and the match day crowds will reflect that.

You should never want your own club to be relegated, and it's sad that you hate Rodgers that much. 

 

Either that or you're lying.

I see it as a step back for two steps forward. The club needs a total refresh on and off the pitch.

whilst I don't want us to be relegated, if we stay up, Rodgers is likely still gonna be here and perhaps most worryingly will have money to spend again.

I don't instinctively want us to get relegated. I want what's best for the club.

I don't understand how relegation would be what's best for the club. Literally just the fact you want Rodgers gone?

Best for the club would have been Rodgers out after the poor start in the summer. Now he's not going anywhere, the 2nd best option is to stay in the PL and get rid of him in the summer.

Those are the reasons for on the pitch. You are clearly pro-Rodgers, so there's no point elaborating on the damage he is doing to the club. In the stands, there needs to be a purge of supporters who only come to watch us because it's a Premier League game. The atmosphere needs restarting and the club may rebuild trust again with supporters, once they realise they need the ticket money more.

Yeah I agree, but the statement is made with my opinion that he won't leave if we stay up.

A lot of absolute wronguns in our away ends.

This is where people shouldn't be worried about being vocal about him not being good enough.  Seeing bubbling of it in the press now, and its possible to support the team and let Rodgers know he's not up to scratch.

It’s very much a British thing at the moment. I’ve noticed it becoming moreso over the past few years with fewer people giving a toss and more people accepting the bare minimum.

Certain posters have ridiculed me for suggesting this (probably kids I suspect) but I think it’s very apparent. The way that Leicester fans have just seemed to accept the decline of the club, without real protest (the odd isolated banner, for which the holder gets spat on!) is a case in point.

These ‘stars’ earn more money in one week than most of us earn in a year. Yet they’ve been under/performing now for a long time in a City shirt. And don’t get me started on Rodger’s salary! It’s a disgrace to be quite honest.

Yet, the bulk of Leicester fans STILL just sit there, spouting keep the faith.

That’s their choice. But it shows apathy and an acceptance of ‘Little old Leicester’.

Brendan needs to leave it is in the best interests of both parties at this juncture.

 

There is some irony to my mind that Cags has been frozen out because he dared to think he was leaving and apparently hasn't put it enough effort in training since, when Brendan thought he was going to have the ManU job and has looked nothing less than disappointed that he is still here ever since.

 

As a manager, and my gripe here is one you can level at so many managers, is that he has his footballing philosophy and wants us to play a certain way which is fine but you then have to look at the players you have at your disposal and take a view as to whether what you have can play the way you would like, and when the answer is no, then you have to change your philosophy and put out a team that plays to the strengths of the players you have available.

 

The end was always coming sooner rather than later for Vardy, the guy has been immense for us but none of them can play forever. So we went and got Daka as a replacement sound business except we have long since stopped playing to the strengths of someone like Vardy/Daka, we don't counter attack with pace anymore we build through the quarters (far too slowly). This is Brendan not playing to the strengths of the squad he had and has assembled.

 

I'm old enough to have seen us go through countless phases like this, and the depressing thing is we never seem to learn from our mistakes.

 

I accept we are not going to win the Premier League or the FA Cup every season, but as long as we put out a team and play in a way that makes me believe we always have a chance in any game whoever we play, with a team that gives it everything, then I am happy with that.

 

I am always surprised by the negative comments I see about Pearson on here. If his son hadn't been such a muppet do we not think he would have stayed in the job. We had a tough season but he was willing to change things and send out a team that played to our strengths, and we were in every game even before the dramatic turn round at the end of the great escape season. The team that won the league was primarily Pearson's with a Claudio tweak to ensure we got over the line. And he is starting to build something at Bristol City again now. And despite appearance he is no neanderthal either if you have ever listened to him talk about football.

 

And then we ended up with Brendan, he doesn't build despite what he says, he just wants to buy it in, and when he can't, he can't manage, and when players can't play his way it's not his fault - yet he never seeks to play to their strengths. I find the contrast quite stark.

 

Thank you for the FA Cup, but please go now Brendan.

This is indeed the best plan, but do you have any faith in this happening?? 
 

My feeling is that if we aren’t relegated the board will feel vindicated for sticking with BR and will restructure the squad with him at the helm.

 

I hate this thought - a whole summer of realisation that he’s here to stay

It’s how thick people accept their lot in life.

I'm not sure things will get better on the pitch if we do go down. 

 

Take Burnley, yes they're having a great season in terms of being top of the Championship, and this side play more attractive football than the teams they had in previous season's under Dyche, but is the team better? I wouldn't say so. Before they had players like Mee, Tarkowski, McNeil, Pope - all of them are probably better than anyone they have at the club at the moment. Nathan Tella is scoring goals for fun for them currently, but he's not a Premier League quality forward. They'll have to spend a decent wedge if they want to be competitive next season in the league. 

 

Imagine if we go down and we lose the likes of Barnes, Maddison, Castagne, Ricardo, Iheanacho, KDH, Ndidi, on top of Youri already going - we're not going to replace them with players of anywhere near the same quality, so I really don't think things will be better on the pitch. At least if we stay up, we can have a good go at rebuilding this side, as long as we spend wisely. 

 

The Premier League is a commercial juggernaut, too. Parachute payments won't last forever, and if we didn't come straight back up then the club would be in a very shit position. Going down will cause us a lot of issues.

If we stay up he's going nowhere IMO.

 

So we're in for another 12 months of this.

I don't have complete faith it will happen. But, if we keep the Rodgers out chants going, and make it clear that survival shouldn't be vindicated, then the board are going to have to do something come the summer. I don't think a knight in shining armor like Spurs are coming calling either, so this giant reset we have needs to be the club looking at different options. I don't trust Rodgers with a rebuild, because i think he looks at mini projects withing the bigger project (trying to 'fix' players) and i don't think his style gets the best out of people anymore.

Was arguing with two lads at full time who were saying 'We've just got a ****ing good point away at Brentford' when I said he needs to go.

 

My argument was that yes a point away at Brentford is decent, but in the context of the season it isn't enough and I'm thinking long term rather than 90 minutes. It'll be a good point if we beat Palace, but failing to beat them we're ****ed. It would have been a good point had we gotten something against Chelsea, but we didn't, context matters.

 

The Rodgers out crew are told to save it for after the game, they're then abused when they do so, they're told to sing it away from the pitch, they sing it in the concourse and are abused, sounds like they're being silenced to me...

 

Didn't hear much Rodgers out, yet on the tube back with other groups of Leicester and all 7 of them (100% of them) were all in agreement that he needs to go.

 

 

Major difference between ourselves and teams like Everton, their fans get on the back of the club alot more, they hound the manager out, ours are blinded by loyalty to the chairman, the manager and past glories. They think being against the manager makes you a bad fan, being for the manager makes you a great fan.

 

Bloke at HT was telling me you support Leicester through thick and thin, couldn't comprehend that us saying Rodgers Out meant that we still supported the club.

Should have started to sing "Stand by your man" at him. Terse, accurate, mocking. No nonsense.
