Feels like we would be better off waiting till the summer for a permanent appointment, as we won't be able to get anyone decent in immediately. Would there be anyone half decent who would come in as caretaker until the end of the season? Whilst it’s valid point it’s not necessarily about that for me, it’s about stopping the suffocation. Like the “it’s too late” argument (of which I still don’t understand), too late for what? We need to stay up, it’s stick or twist and I don’t see that under Rodgers, so I’d rather twist and die trying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusko187 Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 10 hours ago, Dan LCFC said: This is what he's done to large parts of the fanbase - genuinely made out like we're a Bournemouth, Huddersfield level club and one that's lucky to even be here. If any of this bullshit was true he'd never have cme here in the first place. This relegation would be as big a disgrace as Everton going - probably worse given what we've recently achieved. I could almost live with a shocker of a season if it was being treated as such, but large parts of the fanbase just seem OK with it. If we survive they still deserve virtually an empty ground for a lap of 'honour' and if we're relegated they deserve substantially worse. There's no plucky underdog here. Relegation would be a complete and utter disgrace. Truly agree with a lot of this. I know there's been some talk of older fanbase but it does feel as though we have a large amount of supporters who are thankful for where we and think it's just a flash in the pan as opposed to wanting more success. Honestly, yes we have over achieved but we are still capable of being a top half team pushing for European places. Anything short of that should be considered a bad season given our spend, wage budget and you have to say facilities available. Already our training ground should be punching the higher ends of the league, laughable to think it would be owned by a potential Championship club who are lucky to be in the Prem. Ranieri dared us to dream, Rodgers does not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His footballing philosophy has changed a lot. He's not an attacking coach anymore. If his negativity and suicidal tactics faltered at Spurs he would be under intense scrutiny much quicker.

kingkisnorbo Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 I really do think Levy will be strongly looking at Rodgers. Won silverware, been involved in Europe fairly consistently, tows the party line. I also think he'd do a decent job for a bit there. He's well thought of in circles like that.

Dames Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 Thinking on this today I am worried for our survival if Spurs do sack Conte and Rodgers doesn't get the job. I imagine he and his agent will be working on getting the job as Rodgers will know this will be the closest he'll ever be again to getting back to managing a top club. If he's rejected it will no doubt send him into another tantrum and his last one at the start of the season did enormous damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thought it, someone like Brendan Rodgers, paid all that money to Manage, Oversee Training, establish tactics, and gameplan for each match, depending on who we play, and setting the tone, and being held accountable for the performances, and not be criticised or called out for failing on just about every level. You are correct in that those above him who have kept him here are just as much to blame, but he shoulders 50% those above the other 50%, the players shoulder some as well but most the time they follow his instructions.

I am just staggered, given all of that, the blame has to stop at one person's door and that his head should role, absolutely barmy!! I’ve never seen anyone say nobody else in the club is at fault. The general consensus is the problem are at owner/board level and with the manager. I think the reason Rodgers gets the brunt is quite honestly that he is responsible for first team performance and results. This is the 90 minute per week that supporters see the results of. Also, the very fact that so many managers get sacked every season at every level shows that they are usually held accountable for teams underperforming/having collapsed in form. I would therefore say it’s far from staggering that Rodgers gets the bulk of the pelters. He is actually the luckiest manager going in terms of the level of scrutiny he is facing even from his own fan base in terms of what he is providing on field, relative to the salary he is on and the backing he has had (last summer aside).
