Yeah definitely seems the club are thinking “why would we back you with another £40m when you signed Soumare, Perez, Vestagaard etc for prob more that that” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today and pretty much the last few weeks No incomings? “Not at the moment. The work has been with the players who are here.” Frustrating no arrivals? “It’s one where I’ve said before.

whoareyaaa Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 I think what done it for a lot is the way he spoke about us last season not been able to compete with teams like West Ham and such, then says we need a rebuild then starts the season playing in the same manner as last season with little changes, in fact we look worse with Vardy on his own up top and Amartey coming into a back 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 1 hour ago, Guest454545 said: While this might be correct, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be signing ANY players. Zero first team players in, is not good, especially when you clearly need them. He is justified in being unhappy if you don't recruit ANY starters on the first team before the window shuts. Why would any decent business man pay players who can't play? We can only choose 25 players that we can use this season and we currently have more than that, meaning if we don't shift some more, we won't sign anyone. Rodgers and Congerton have filled our squad with over paid shite and now Rodgers is feeling the effect of that as we can't shift them and in turn can't sign any new signings. Rodgers isn't to blame for everything and I'm sure the people above him have made/are making mistakes but ultimately there seems to be little faith in Rodgers and it seems the club might be hoping he'll resign to save sacking him!

But I'm not naive enough to think that every single word or sentence he utters is a bit 'fvck you' to the fans, as plenty seem to want or dare I say crave. So many think that everything he says is to spite them, or the club, or both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 18 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 18 August 2022 Feels like the end is near for Rodgers, listening to bits of his press conference today he sounds so negative / downbeat / defeatist. Rodgers has played a blinder by getting all the media on his side and feeling sorry for him, when this is all his mess! When he took over we already had Kasper, Ricardo, Evans, Soyuncu, Ndidi, Maddison, Tielemans, Barnes, Vardy & only Fofana, Justin & Castagne start from the players he’s signed in around 3 and a half years! He’s bloated our squad with crap signings on big wages like Praet, Perez, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Soumoure who we can’t shift and that’s the reason why we can’t sign anyone, nothing to do with him not being backed like the media kept portraying. I’ll be honest, I think the club are reluctant to back him. We put a lot of trust in him and let him come away from our model that worked so well over the years by bring in all his own men like Congerton who’s been bombed already, his own medicine man who’s been bombed already + all his signings in which a majority have been a disaster. He’s only ever said good things about the club, the board but he’s started having little digs recently which tells me there has been a breakdown somewhere. His negativity and defeatist attitude is already rubbing off on the fans and it’s showing in our play on the pitch too. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he would know about the finances and such and what he's going to be able to spend it was at the back end of the season, plus we don't really need a rebuild so he was talking waffles.
