Ian S Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 1 minute ago, Lesterlad said: This may of been asked before but why oh why did we make only one substitution on Sunday and wrong one at that. Brentford made all 5 of theirs at strategic times of the game. We bring Daka on for KDH. It was obvious Maddison was shattered from about the 70th minute. 5 at the back wasn’t working. Vardy looked leggy. Even Ndidi looked exhausted. We had no width. When Brentford pulled goal back we did nothing to change the course of the game. Rodgers was completely at fault but won’t admit it. Yes I think you may find it has been asked before 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're seeing a lot of our supposed targets get snapped up every week that passes. The later we leave it and we'll be bargain bin shopping as we won't want ripping off. Mings and Winks on loan are very realistic possibilities to just get us through the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you’re asking, I’m assuming not. Irrespective of that though, Rodgers’ hey day here is well and truly in the past. You can’t hang on to a manager because he was good for us once upon a time.

foxfanazer Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 8 minutes ago, Dames said: As much as I think Rodgers has run his course here I think its unfair of the club to sell his best goal keeper, his best defender and probably best midfielder and not replace them adequately. I mean we're looking at going from Kasper to Ward, Fofana to Mings and Tielemans to Winks. Its hideous. I know we haven't sold two of the players yet but its really only a matter of time now. Shouldn't have bottled those top 4 finishes when they were well withing our grasp. Would've been backed then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been backed then That's all conjecture and as much as I slate him for not getting those top 4 finishes we arguably could be in a worse position due to the FFP changes. Either way he's still been backed and mistakes have been made but the tightening of the belt this summer is extreme to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 25 minutes ago, Dames said: Unfortunately no matter how unhappy they are they won't be able to get him out. We are definitely way too skint to pay him off so we're stuck. Unhappy manager, unhappy squad, unhappy fans - All a recipe for success... The board have had an absolute mare. It's not always the case that sacking a manager means that the entirety of his contract is paid off. There may be a clause to cap it a one years salary or both parties may negotiate an amount to stop things getting ugly or dragging on. Regardless though, you are probably right that we can't afford it either way, such is our current financial predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if this is why Kaspers exit although not unexpected, was very sudden and abrupt…. Seems odd that your club captain and club legend just ups and goes without a proper goodbye. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4everfox Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 21 minutes ago, The Year Of The Fox said: Who thinks we’re going down? If you think my picture of Martinez was alluding to that then you couldn’t be more wrong. All I was pointing out was that you don’t have to be a brilliant manager to win The FA Cup. I think Martinez is better than he's given credit for, wouldn't be totally against him becoming our manager. Winning the FA Cup with Wigan is a bigger achievement then winning it with Leicester. He got Everton into Europe once or twice too, so he wouldn't actually be that bad a shout. He's also the exact profile of manager that the club normally go for.

Claudio Fannieri Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 Had £10 left in my sky bet account so just lumped on Brendan to go next, reckon Fofana being sold from under him could be the final straw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally all that was said, that the players aren’t happy with Rodgers at the moment. If what was said was true, and things don’t improve, it will be only a matter of time until he’s lost the dressing room completely.

It will just continue until something gives. Nothing has or will change in terms of Team performances. I feel, and of course I might be wrong, that the team reflect the manager. They also feed off the manager if they truly believe in him. I don’t think our team do anymore. It might take more games, but I can see us getting battered in some upcoming games if we keep showing this willingness to collapse. Just think it’s time for a change really.
