He's been getting loads of stick for being a bottle job and pundits and stats nerds have been pointing out how bad we've been under him all season a lot more regularly. I think most people will agree its the right decision. Sensible people will agree, but when has that stopped the media from sensationalising a story.

Kevin Russell Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 Big mistake if we’ve sacked him. He’s not perfect, but his record here was fantastic until the injuries knocked us off course. The players are still playing for him - just look at Youri and the lads yesterday. Pretty sure this is just rumour anyway. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners clearly feel we can do better and I believe we can, can you honestly say hand on heart we should be below West Ham, Wolves etc our squad is so much better but we have been managed badly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy media narrative trotted out again by Rodgers pals in the media. Absolutely. From a lot on this forum too I'd imagine. Will be a long way away from social media if its true. *If* its true, it's difficult to argue based on this season its not deserved. Moments of individual brilliance have saved us from being in a relegation fight. Would give my left arm for Potter, but suspect the club will have someone else lined up if they're willing to change at this stage of the season - surely too expensive to bin off Rodgers' staff & buy another PL manager.

HUNTA84 Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 (edited) I think Rodgers has done all he can in terms of getting us to compete at the top and missing out on the top 4 the past couple of seasons has obviously affected us, probably mentally as a team as well. It hasn't allowed us to bring in the additional Champions League revenue and the odd one or two quality players that would've helped us kick on and because of this we're still competing with the likes of Wolves, West Ham, Everton, now Villa for the same players whereas being in the Champions league would've put us ahead of these in getting those extra quality players in. I don't see where else he can take us but also if we are to break into the top 4, we need a top class manager and who is available or who is available that wants to come? We are obviously willing to pay top money for a manager but I don't think Potter would get us there. We need a manager that the players look up to and can have confidence in and I think this has gone with Rodgers. It is a shame because we've had some of our best years with Rodgers at the helm.

The FA cup win in isolation was amazing, but to surrender two top four finishes, when they were more difficult to throw away then to seal, and then to not get things going this season has really nailed him.

He’s said all of the wrong things, done all of the wrong things and is seemingly incapable of turning it around, in short, he’s sacked himself. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 What is the relationship like with the players and those above him? For all the talk of the fans being the big influence, we're not.

kingkisnorbo Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 It’s a bit of a misnomer about not being able to attract coaches who are already in champions league competing sides. Not elite level but high level European coaches. You ask any coach in the world where they would want to coach and your answer will be the premier league. We currently have the best 4 managers on the planet (imo) coaching here. The league in itself had ginormous pulling power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be in the run for two top 4 finishes is a good effort. West Ham being lauded this season. For exactly that. We have also had incredible runs of form and achieved our highest ever league finishes. I think we will regret this, but it’s all opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
