foxfanazer Posted 13 August 2022 Share Posted 13 August 2022 We need somebody who can organise a defence. Probably not progressive enough for some but someone in the mould of Chris Wilder. It's inexcusable the amount of goals we concede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tielemans63 Posted 13 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 13 August 2022 (edited) I think at this point, him departing by mutual consent is the best outcome. Perhaps if he and the club could agree that they pay him perhaps 2 of the 3 years left on his contract, that way he doesn't have the ignominy of the sack and can walk away without that blot on his CV and the club don't have the full bill that they would if they sacked him. Just seems like we're at a standoff that is not good for him and most importantly, not good for the club. He doesn't want to be here but also doesn't want to walk away from a massive contract (we'd all be the same), the club don't seem to really want him or to.back him but can't afford to sack him. It's a grim situation that is harming us horribly, either someone needs to bite the bullet or as I say, reach a consensus that it's no longer working and limit the damage. Still think overall he's done a good job but his apathy is so evident, it's not what players or fans need to hear.

He said with regard to being mid-table that, until he turned up, we were down in 12th and couldn't dream of competing for Europe. He skips the part where we finished 9th the season before that, and won the league (unlike any of his vastly better-funded outfits here or elsewhere) a couple of years earlier. And reached the Champions League quarters in between. He also skips the part where he achieved that improvement with players which he overwhelmingly didn't assemble. He also pointed out last season that 8th was our - I can't remember - joint ninth(?) best ever finish. Again, he misses out the fact that some of our serving players had outdone that. None of the Orr, Gillies, Bloomfield, O'Neill and Ranieri teams which matched or bettered 8th were anywhere near as expensive as his Leicester. None of them had enjoyed much previous success either. He deserves serious praise for taking a young side with some league-winning experience, and improving on its recent finishes. And I agree that away losses to Arsenal, and 8th place finishes in an injury-riddled season, aren't enough for a club with our financial limitations to be looking elsewhere. Not in isolation, anyway. Clubs outperform their outlay all the time, but we've gone further, and more often, than most of our peers. But the truth is that we've done that with Rodgers, and - to an even greater extent - without him, and if he wants to start talking about where his team stands in the pantheon of Leicester teams, then he should remember that those teams that did better than him were also outperforming their investment. Even more so. This growing feeling that he might not be the man to take us forward isn't helped by the suspicion that he's downplaying expectations not because the team need him to downplay expectations (if that were the case he wouldn't be telling his squad that it isn't good enough), but rather because Brendan needs Brendan to downplay expectations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see us spending half that on a new managers salary given the new regulations. “Cost control and the squad cost rule The new regulations will see clubs subject to squad cost controls for the first time. The cost control rule restricts spending on player and coach wages, transfers, and agent fees to 70% of club revenues” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Daggers Posted 13 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 13 August 2022 Pearson was successful because there was a plan, a vision. Players were identified and contracted because they had the right mindset and bought into his vision. What is this club now? Where does it want to go? What does the manager want for the future? No wonder we are in a mess. Rodgers carries nothing of the optimistic heft of Pearson. There’s no sell to players who might want to come and nothing to inspire players who are here - and we see that on the pitch. Players just aren’t prepared to bleed for Rodgers for 90mins plus extra time. Please get this man on his bike. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never read your repeated post, this is new to me as I'm repeatedly telling others that we don't owe Brendan x 3 lots of £10m if we sacked him now, it's usually the amount it would cost another club to activate his release clause, what we did when we got him from Celtic and why we panicked and offered him this sickening contract when he announced he'd got a release clause when Arsenal first came sniffing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dan LCFC Posted 13 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 13 August 2022 I think the most surprising thing for me is how many people thought anything would change. His game is self-preservation, we have the same coaching, the same squad near enough and a general discontent brewing at those very facts - nothing is going to change under this manager and I'm absolutely amazed people think it will. He's done here. Get him out before any more damage is done and the season becomes unsalvageable. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
