Potter or Amorin, whichever we can get. Potter would sort out our defence. For Rodgers seeing our best player likely to leave and his message not getting through to the players means this is probably the best chance he has to get a big job. We finish mid table this year and his stock will decline rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are performing that badly , why would United be interested? Rodgers , to me, with no connection to Man. Utd. could quickly be got rid of if he makes no improvement. He knows that, while with us a mid-table finish will not threaten his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other players must feel the same too. He mentioned that after going 2 nil up at palace Rodgers wanted to go all defensive in the second half which pretty much cost us the game. 100% miss-quoted I suspect - Yawn.

If one of the biggest jobs in world football is offered to him, he will be gone. You wouldn't turn down Man Utd if you are an ambitious manager like Rodgers is. Infact there would be only a handful who would. Anybody making a case for him turning it down is simply looking through Royal Blue tinted glasses. There is no way he is going going to turn the job down for fear of failure. If he goes who can begrudge him going to the biggest club in Britain and arguably the world? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 13 November 2021 Share Posted 13 November 2021 If / when Rodgers goes I’d take Potter. He’s in the Rodgers mould of improving young players and playing a similar way. Players who’ve played under him haven’t got a bad word to say about him either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t been great this season, but two fifth place finishes and the FA Cup isn’t bad. In fact I think he will turn things around here, so hope he doesn’t go.

filbertway Posted 13 November 2021 Share Posted 13 November 2021 The more ive been focusing on Brighton recently the more im starting to think that Potter is exactly the same as Rodgers. 11 men back for a corner. Changes the team to go defensive if taking a lead. Can struggle to break down weaker teams. I want a spunky manager that will try to deliver to incredible high press, high octane football of 2019. The golden year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's a sad indictment of how we've been though. Really? I thought we were battered in that first half, and couldn’t believe we got jammie with two goals. I actually think we played better against Man City despite losing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkish14 Posted 13 November 2021 Share Posted 13 November 2021 What will be interesting is when Rodgers is posed questions relating to being linked to the united job, what his response will be. with Spurs and Newcastle it was clear he wouldn’t swap us for them. Saying things like “I love it here” and that I’m sure he said we are building long term, unfinished business etc… If he now says, “they are a huge club, it’s an honour to be linked, or I’m under contract for x years” though all true, IMO it’s dangling the carrot a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayday Posted 13 November 2021 Share Posted 13 November 2021 Would I be disappointed to see him go , at this moment in time the answer is no, I just think we have gone stale under his management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly even during our worst we aren’t relegation fodder, just distinctly average… which is disappointing when you see the quality we have in the side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
