And he knows it. ....have you noticed the merry-go-round, he will be picked up by a club (top 6) buying into his "Elite Manager" perception!!! Either that, or Newcastle with a war chest.

Bookies have him at favourite but that's not really relevant considering there's no other managers under pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the decision makers at the club don’t trust him with our imminent rebuild of the squad, it might not be a bad idea to bring someone in now who can have time to assess the squad before the window opens.

Corky Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 Normally we get a steer long before it happens. I recall Puel being on the brink of being sacked about three times before he actually was. Also we had load of rumours Rodgers was ready to join whereas this time we've had no concrete information on replacements. Changing now probably means you don't get your first choice, too. I think we're reaching the end of his tenure but unless there has been a complete breakdown between him and the players or the board I don't see it happening yet. Usually journalists would give clues and we've heard basically nothing from them. Unless something dramatically changes behind the scenes nothing happens until the summer in my view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'd be reasonable logic behind a change now - gives a new manager time to assess ahead of the summer, implement any ideas, settle in... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 I’m not saying this is the case this time, but it’s a known PR technique to leak a rumour to soften the blow if/when the time comes for real. The more rumours there are about him being sacked the less of a shock it will be, thus taking the edges of any negative press that may come the clubs way.

Stadt Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 (edited) The die is cast now imo, next bad result (Sunday most likely) will see him under an insurmountable amount of pressure.

The mullet of Phil Gee Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 What’s really annoying me is that Brendan is calling out everybody apart from himself and his staff. He’s called out the fans, the players but not himself. In his interview post match yesterday he mentioned the anxiety from the crowd early on that could have spread onto the players. He needs to understand why the crowd started to groan. One reason was the ease in which West Ham scored and another was the period of play where we kept passing it along the back line with no attempt at a forward ball. West Ham could have all gone for a coffee at this point. He needs to take a good look at himself and the habits he uses every time before calling out others. He must have been the only person in the ground who thought it would be a good idea to bring Lurch on at the end to try to see the game out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the outside football world maybe but honestly the club’s perception is fine , we have given Rodgers time and this cycle is coming to an end.

Popular Post Kevin Russell Posted 14 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 14 February 2022 Lads he’s staying - owners are way too smart to get rid of someone with such a good record. What does it say to the next manager? Finish in Europe two seasons, win a major trophy (one of only two in the clubs entire history) then suffer a chronic and persistent injury crisis and we’ll give you the boot? It’s just not the right call. If we have all our players back and not the first choice centre halves out and we are moving in the wrong direction next season then he’s under pressure. Until then we still have time for our form to improve and I believe that it will. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's either the most unlucky bloke in the world or something he's doing is wrong. It's not a shock really. Fans of just about every club he's ever managed told us it would go this way after a couple of years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 (edited) Goes without saying that he leaves with his head up here. Been here for almost 3 years. In that time we've won two trophies including our first ever FA Cup as well as 5th placed finishes in his two full seasons. Anyone doubting that he's a top manager is an idiot. It's just that his time here has come to an end. Our squad needs fresh ideas with a complete rebuild. He's not the man to do it because the second he gets us playing well again he'll be off to United/Arsenal/Spurs et al.

Not to be rude to Rodgers or anyone learning any language, it's not easy. But I've heard Rodgers Spanish and as a fluent speaker it's intermediate level tbh. Fluency is what he lacks. Very clear n Irish accent haha. Don't know how good his Italian is, but you know, one thing is intermediate level and fluency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winsum Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 He has no long term future here. When The United job was rumoured he failed to rule it out How did that look to the owners , players and fans We know he has lost many of the fans, the players don’t appear to be behind him and Top will make the final decision no good putting a bloke in charge of a rebuild who will get in the first taxi if the destination is right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
