Who next after Brendan?

Firstly, let me preface things by saying I'm just playing devils advocate I guess. Hypothetically if we're in a similar position come Christmas/New Year to where we are now and so very, very likely out of the running to secure European football next season, and Top decided to make a change (or Rodgers goes of his own volition), who would you want us to go for?

 

I know when the Arsenal and Spurs rumours were knocking about a while back, we were linked to Rúben Amorim from Sporting, and it feels like we end up signing players who we're consistently linked with over the course of a couple of seasons, so maybe it'd likely be the same with a manager? 

What do people think, and who would people want?

Topics like this should be taken down, there’s enough shit and speculation around already with the Leicester Mercury and other click bait journalists.

I can't say I ever understood the "close thread" comment. 

 

If there is a certain discussion you don't want to be part of, that's fair enough. Don't engage but I just can't wrap my head around why you would want to stop others talking about it. It's weird, man.

Read back through your own thread and perhaps you will understand why others like me think your comments are nothing but speculation.

Has Rodgers given any indication he wants to leave NO if anything he as come out and said he’s happy here and sees himself being here for the foreseeable future.

Of course it's speculation. In the same way we have topics about which players we'd like to see the club potentially bring in. Or is that not allowed either? 

 

I really don't see what the problem is, but whatever.

They get their shit, from this very forum....

For us fans we rarely stand back and say fa cup, top 6, euro games. 

We just focus on unfathomable decisions... look how he has treated nacho and praet. Look how he tolerated madders and perez.

Its his Choice to choose, he knows the Motivation & mitigating reasons..you nor I dont.

Stop playing Football manager...

Shouldn't this be in the grinder thread? Unless you mean as a manager, surely not though?

And the point he made remains the same too, if people want to discuss it then let them, if you don't, don't. That's the point of a forum. The fact that so many have bothered to read and comment on the various arguments suggests it's a topic of interest whether or not you or I agree or not with the viewpoints expressed. Just because you personally don't like it is certainly not grounds to close it down.

Yes it is his choice, however, it seemed ok to speculate or query with certain other less popular managers like Puel when we had no more insight into such things then either. Arguably Puel had many other difficult situations to deal with at the club at the time than Rodgers has had because of the state the club was in at the time when he inherited it.

 

Forums by their very  nature are going to contain views based on rumour, supposition and some facts because supporters obviously can't know them. People merely air their viewpoints. I may not want Rodgers to leave but neither when compared to any of our other past managers do I think he's a protected species no matter how much he's hero worshipped by some. A forum is a forum and like switching over TV channels people have a to take part or not.

Sounds easy..but empty vessels,& only noise become eventually boring..So theme & topic..lose their point & interest..And when there is something to report...It will fall only around empty ears...The cry wolf effect...

Why many media outlets have no credence ,with many sports people..

And when they become boring they fizzle out and die because people stop engaging with them. Like this one, if after a while there's nothing to ignite it, it will drop down the list to the next page and the next etc.

 

I agree, there's very few news outlets now that are given much credibility now, though Romano and Percy seem to have their fair share of good information. Most of it is merely regurgitated speculative gossip for clickbait purposes.

But we do see the performances on the pitch, so it's legitimate to query, for example, why a persistently badly performing player is constantly favoured over one who contributes more.

[Foxxed]

So.... Should Brendan feel he's reach his peak with the tenacious overachievers before the season properly comes to a glorious close, who is both able and willing replace the trophy-winning Brendan Rodgers? I thought I'd give the thread a bump. I am at least glad it won't be Lampard. I don't want Gerrand either. I assume there are other managers.

[moore_94]

Bruno Genesio from Rennes

[Tuna]

If we sack him this season you'd think it would probably be an interim, but we've never done that before under these owners?

I would imagine his back team would go with him, leaving just Stowell?

 

I don't even know what managers are really out there at the moment that would take an interim role, big Sam? Bring back Claudio?

[foxfanazer]

Seriously anyone at this stage. Just need him gone. I can't watch another minute of this incompetence 

[Sir Shep]

I don't I is what the answer is, but after so many good seasons recently this one is the pits. Can't wait for May 

[matty98]

Steve Cooper anyone? 

[Daggers]

Potter, now.

[peterborofox]

Big Sam until end of the season 😂

 

Just anyone, get him gone

He fits the bill, very similar to Rodgers with his ideas, but it’s clear he’s a better tactician.

I don't actually think he would take it right now...
