Arriba Los Zorros Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 Brendan if he just got on with the job could do well this year but he doesn't seem able to cope now people have seen through the nice guy facade and realised how self centred and egotistical he is. Who cares, it's fine, many of the top manager are. Just accept not everyone will like you and get on with managing the club ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has been firmly put in his place after Forest and then the following comments on a refresh. He must continue as is for now. Yeah, I think there is an element of this. Bertrand and Vestergaard were shocking signings, and the club have now gone back to their previous recruitment system, especially with Congleton leaving. And want Glover to be more involved when he starts. Edited 18 August 2022 by lcfc_forever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 'Recruited starters' every year for Rodgers. Whether it be Daka/Soumare/Praet/Perez/Vestergaard/Bertrand/Under/Lookman etc....Do you think we recruited them to not kick a ball? Of course not, they were recruited to play football for us and they haven't because they're either not good enough, or Rodgers isn't good enough of a coach/judge of character to get the best out of them. A football manager's job is no different to any other kind of job....It's his responsibility to 'earn' investment. He does this by proving his worth. If you work in Sales and you lose your company 10,000 customers, you're suggesting you can justify being unhappy that you're not being given the responsibility of looking after another 10,000 customers. It's no different to Rodgers here, and trusting him with more money....He can make the hole we're in even bigger, and the evidence suggests that would happen, given his terrible recruitment at Celtic, Liverpool and here. So extending that analogy: You have a manager, he exceeds targets, delivers success, and then has a bumpy, but not terrible, quarter. In fact, the bump just took the business back to where it would be reasonably expected to be, all things being equal. Are you saying any normal business would then fire that manager? It seems to me that they would be more likely to address any weaknesses in the managers operational knowledge, but continue to support them based on very recent past successes. But to get back to my point - I didn't say you should put Rodgers in charge of transfers again. I'm saying it's quite obvious that Leicester need new blood. So tell Brendan to make a list of positions he needs, then go out and buy the players for him, and let him do what he demonstrably does really well - coaching other people's players to be better than they were. But if you don't do that, then any manager is right to feel aggrieved that they aren't being backed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Daka/Soumare/Praet/Perez/ Vestegaard/Lookman/Bertrand/Under will have been mentioned privately when he's asked about more money, these conversations are going on privately both sides are looking for the best possible exit out of the current situation.

Cincinnati Fox Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 Brendan is a charlatan!!! He brought his mate congerton with him who has failed miserably everywhere he has gone. Brendan had a couple of descent seasons (that he ultimately bottled) thank you ground work done by others! He always goes stale because he has a massive ego and can’t see/accept his own mistakes Top needs to get Brendan out asap before he does any more damage get out of our club Brendan!!! And have the decency to walk! You don’t deserve any pay off! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 People saying he won't walk, he's threatened to do so at Liverpool before and don't forget he's still got 3 years left, that's a long time of being very disillusioned and feeling under appreciated and respected. Not that we're going to go 3 years of not signing anyone I hope 😂😂😂 I just hope this doesn't have a negative effect on everyone, it's not ideal what's happening this summer but with a siege mentality and hopefully have less injuries and improve our defending from set pieces that we could have a relatively positive and successful season but to do so he's got to put all the disappointment to one side and ensure his actions and words don't lose the players. He's set the narrative already, he'd get very little criticism if we struggle and gets the sack. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iron is he's perfect for a short term deal as he tends to do well immediately and then when he's well and truly cemented in he gets worse and worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutual termination in which Rodgers is allowed to choose how to spin in (within reason). No way he walks from a packet that big totally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigstonWanderer Posted 19 August 2022 Share Posted 19 August 2022 (edited) As I said in another thread, if things really have got that bad, maybe we could put him on gardening leave and bring someone else in, perhaps a caretaker. Can’t have him fcking about with team selection, etc, trying to get himself sacked. He’d surely look for a new job double quick and move on without much compensation . The threat to do so might get him looking elsewhere, or lower compensation. Edited 19 August 2022 by WigstonWanderer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 19 August 2022 Share Posted 19 August 2022 7 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Rodgers is being done dirty by Rudkin and the board, this will get very ugly this season. I'm not convinced we are in a great place but I can u derstand why the club may have lost faith in him but some of the decision making this club has done in the last few years worries me every bit as much as what we did the year or so after winning the league. We have the ability to suffer a real crisis of confidence in our leadership off the field. Like the one where we chose not to sign Cucurella at Rodgers request to get Bertrand instead? Hes definitely been our best backed manager under KP, absolutely no question, I fear though KPs worst decision will be the faith they have in him, rumours that they still rate him very high which is extremely concerning.
