Chrysalis Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 Rodgers clever with sky interview, talking about plans for summer etc. that would make a sacking much more arkward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t attract top managers if we treat people who achieve success like that. Rogers is here and we’ll do well again. Not sure why we automatically have to go for big name managers. Appreciate not a like-for-like example but nobody thought this randomer Wolves appointed would take them further than Nuno and it looks like he is. Either way the rumours generally follow the 'no smoke without fire' scenario; so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Brendan turn us down because we sacked Ranieri after he won us the league? Edited 14 February 2022 by foxfanazer 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should be competing for top 6 but if winning the FA Cup was so easy then Rodgers wouldn't be the first manager in our history to do it. Puel just couldnt coach Tielemans into whacking one top bins from 35 yards or Schmeichel making outrageous saves in the same way the Brodge did. Managerial masterclass wasn't it. Nothing to do with the players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 53 minutes ago, Kevin Russell said: 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. What if the club has deemed him the cause of that injury crisis? 10s of millions worth of players unavailable for matchday. The pattern I have noticed is the defence for Rodgers at this point is either conveniently ignoring the problems, blaming players, thinking injuries are just bad luck, pretending tactical errors arent happening or are one off's. Or like a Hollywood movie ending where the faith magically creates a miracle and all ends well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitlock Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 @Ashley I guess you wouldn't have posted it if you didn't believe your source, clearly.... is it more murmourings within the club about him getting the sack sooner rather than later?

We’re poor now but let’s not pretend we weren’t once great under his stewardship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers reminds me of my old boss who did the same when starting a new project and wanting to outsource. He just started telling other management that he was getting xx budget to use an outsourcer. That guy got the sack too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think there would be anyone claiming we should have made that sub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't inherit a squad as good as Rodgers did, but I doubt anybody thought we'd have finished top 6 twice and won the FA Cup (and Community Shield) in Rodgers' first two seasons. Nigh on everyone thought we'd be top 6 in 19/20, less so last season but even then you had Arsenal, Chelsea (half a season) and United with cone men as gaffers. They were both huge missed opportunities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 Brendan may well have realised that with YT definitely not staying, he wont have the budget to effectively replace him and also fill in the gaps elsewhere. there could be some truth to rumours that he has upped the ante to try and elicit a release (mutual consent) from his contract here (with his comp of course). perhaps he just doesn't fancy the rebuild project given the available budget 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVFox Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 Strangely, throughout the day my thoughts on this have changed. I wanted Brendan out after last night, and thought the time had come. Now rumours have circulated, I actually want him to be given the summer. Think in the 3 seasons he's had in charge he had a great first half and poor 2nd half. Injuries haven't helped, and neither have awful signings. What I do want, is Congerton gone, the guys a fraud. No doubt Brendan can coach but Congerton's transfer record is awful. Our physio team also needs looking at. Basically, remove the power away from Brendan so he's nothing more than head coach. Lets get a solid system in place so the club isn't decimated when he leaves and takes half the staff with him. If he doesn't like those parameters, then yeah, he's welcome to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a refresh of the squad required? Absolutely, is Brendan the man to do it? Risky due to past misdemeanours, but there was talk of him having learnt his lesson (Overruling the scouting team) so I can see good/bad scenarios with both outcomes (sack/keep) but if he does go, it needs to root and branch for me Could you define root and branch for me? As to just how far we should go. @Dahnsouff Not trying to be an ass hole. Edited 14 February 2022 by SO1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other point stands that "finishing top 6/europe" doesnt tell the full story imo West Ham look to be top 6 for 2 seasons in a row, that is no more than what we did.
