Popular Post filbertway Posted 21 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 21 March 2023 I've always said he's an absolute class manager. If anyone can get spurs regularly challenging for titles and winning silverware it'll be Rodgers. No hard feelings, he's been unfairly treated here and has had to make do with what he's got. He's a good manager but he's not a bloody miracle worker. 1 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys a total fraud when it starts to get a bit sticky. But the backing /refresh in Rodgers' eyes will need to be 5 or 6 players and not just a very cleverly worded "2 new acquisitions and 1 on loan" I think when you've shown this many inadequacies I'm just not sure how people can say he's a good manager, let alone an elite one. To me he's like a fairweather manager. He's good when everything is in place, when there's no storm on the horizon, when it's all plain sailing. Rodgers to me, and you can tell this by the almost pre-determined subs, is somebody who doesn't plan for the idea of adversity. It's plain sailing and if it isn't plain sailing, then it was the fault of the circumstances rather than his inability to deal with them. For me that just means he isn't particularly good. I have no idea how anybody can watch what's played out in the last 18 months and determine he is anything but a problem. I can't comprehend that they would let him oversee another rebuild. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the perfect spurs manager, football that looks fancy but doesnt have the cutting edge to take them to the top, good runs of form followed by complete collapses, a lack of mentality to turn up when it counts. Saying all that it really is surprising that he managed to win an FA cup with us, wouldn't be surprised if he doesnt win a trophy in the top 5 leagues again.

Is Levy a man he could trust to back him? After he resurrected what ever talent they have would he just get treated like he did at Liverpool or Celtic. Tottenham always seemed like a club that was a day late but a dollar short. Never willing to invest that bit more to get them over the line and build consistency(Stadium)?. Have to wonder why Conte is leaving and if Rodgers really wants another rebuild and refurbish job just to get screwed again. A craftsman needs proper tools to do a job.

I have defended Rodgers,but this season I seen no Rodgers injection of willing to get a team to perform,no matter how poor investment,or injuries were.. I don’t believe he’s to blame for certain individual performances,or backing his players…He is just one of many coaches world wide,Europa wide, English leagues wide…decent, but can’t solve,one deep aligning problem when it comes. I don’t believe we „failed“ when only landing 5th…But let’s put that aside.. Since theemd of his 2nd yr,the great Man.city win… He hasn’t on the field got one major call right ( though subs I won’t call him out for) Every single fan will have a slightly different call to the other.But tactics and challenges once on the down side,have just been off the Richter scale.Though Mr modern managers often fall over once long poor periods build.That is why such turnaround of managers…That’s why for a slightly above average manager I rate Dyche and the old Pearson, though Pearson After Leicester,never kept it ticking.. Bristol will present him with some again consistent years,if he doesn’t do anything daft… Can,Howe,Frank,Potter keep it up…?? can Moyes,others come again… Rodgers I can’t see where he fits,this season for me,crushed any thought he could build something here or elsewhere. So a short yes & thanks,but leaving (when he does) with more regrets and cold fish emotions for me,what he does. Unless some weird way he’s given next season,and gives us consistent seasons in the top 8…but no idea at present where it should come from.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pray to God that Levy can match the master craftsman's ambitions. Rodgers. Congerton. A blank chequebook. The only 3 things holding spurs back from greatness. You know what yo do Levy!

People convinced all he needs is more time and more money as if we don't look worse the more of both he is afforded. I certainly wouldn't agree but I can at least sort understand the argument that we're better off sticking with him until the end of the season and then getting rid - I cannot understand why anyone would want him in charge beyond that. Let us have a fresh start with a fresh voice coming from someone who actually wants to be here, let him move on somewhere that can give him the players and resources he apparently deserves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 No chance he goes to Spurs but if he does I can't say I'll want him to do well or badly, would just like to never have to think about him again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 21 March 2023 Author Share Posted 21 March 2023 (edited) Spurs are attractive enough to get a better manager than Rodgers. I'll be very surprised if Rodgers ends up going to Spurs. I know Nuno is used as an example but it was well reported he was about 6th choice. In the last decade they'e been managed by Conte, Mourinho and Pochettino.

Hmm, i think he would have to oversee a rebuild in the summer which is not his strong point. Will Rodgers be enough to keep Kane at Spurs? Not convinced. Without Kane, they are going to have to recruit a goalscorer as Son isn't what he was. Its a toughie - and im not sure it hits Rodgers sweet spot.

CosbehFox Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: As mad as this might seem, Rodgers would do quite well there. Initially. Their mental profile fits exactly what Rodgers eventually moulds a squad in. I’ve come to the assertion with Rodgers that is biggest problem is that he doesn’t talk to his players in an assertive, honest manner. Eventually that gets into a players mentality. Once you are past the bluster, they realise it’s all nonsense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 2 hours ago, RonnieTodger said: Imagine Levy trying to justify why he’s taken the bloke managing Leicester in 17th. Not a chance. Tottenham more than any other fanbase are obsessed with style over substance and his perceived style will be viewed as a breath of fresh air from Conte & Mourinho, is all I'm clinging onto. They'd be an absolutely perfect fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: As mad as this might seem, Rodgers would do quite well there. He's unhappy here because we don't have a squad full of Roy Keanes who can self motivate and instead have a bunch of young guys that actually need to be man-managed. Given that Conte is essentially bemoaning the exact same thing at Tottenham, it would be fvcking insane for both Rodgers and Spurs for the two to unite. I think Rodgers has the hubris to believe he can go anywhere and be successful but if Spurs haven't taken twenty seconds to put the dots together and realise its a poor appointment then they are thick. I think it's really interesting that the person that most sees through Brand Brendan in the media is the former chairman, if Simon Jordan can see Rodgers for what he is, you'd surely expect Levy to. The man might be a tight fisted misery but he's not a fool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Matt said: From the article: “The proven track record: Brendan Rodgers. Leicester may be in a slump but, under Rodgers, they have won more trophies in the past 15 years than Tottenham. Rodgers has experience of rebuilding struggling teams and a title challenge with Liverpool, a treble with Celtic and a FA Cup with Leicester show he is quite good at turning things round with limited resources.” Crikey, I mean where do you start with that. You've just got to hope Tottenham are as daft as this. It's not implausible. Sadly I think Pochettino will just end up back there. I think it would all unravel at Tottenham for him quicker than it has done here as well. The pieces aren't in as much place as they were here. Their best player is going to be wanting out again as well. Edited 21 March 2023 by Dan LCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
