we are contractually obliged to pay him and his staff their contracts in full. We would obvs negotiate to try and reduce that but it is a straight loss until the staff get new jobs - they don’t have to and if they take lower paid options, we would have to pay the difference. 
 

rodgers is due another three and half years at £9m per season.  That’s thirty million alone.  If Brendan takes a new job on half that money, I bet you we would have to cover the difference. We’ve made a big commitment to him and his staff. People don’t give away money they’re entitled to. 

Wow we're stuck with Brendan for another 3.5 years, that sure seems a very long time and he'll earn 30m UK pounds,. Don't why he looks so miserable on camera!

Get rid of BR and his team, replace until the end of season Wes Morgan (Temp Manager), Craig Shakespeare (Assistant/Coach), Steve Walsh (Recruitment). Can’t do no worse than atm, definitely think they will get respect from the squad which hopefully translates into better performances in the pitch. See who’s available in the summer as permanent Manager if required. 

WtF. Has the lock down started in the UK???

He had one season at Derby and narrowly missed out on promotion. Huge budget?? A few loans but nothing massive. How are Derby doing now? Yes ok, second season at Chelsea he was struggling a bit, and maybe that was too big a job for him too soon, but Christ how can you call him bang average when he's had 2 full seasons of management?

He finished 6th with less points than Gary Rowett the year before and yes they had one of the biggest budgets in the league, an unsustainable one, hence where they are now. 
 

How can I call a manager bang average who finished 6th with Derby, got the Chelsea job on the back of being Frank Lampard and then got sacked by Chelsea… dunno… wonder why.

Most managers contracts have a clause that includes a pay off figure for being sacked, it's usually around a years wages. 

I’m sure this is true for managers who want to take jobs where clubs have the upper hand but we were negotiating to keep BR from going to arsenal. Be surprised if we managed to get clauses like that in.

I have had some time to think about this since yesterday's match which made me quite angry and have decided that I don't think he should go yet. I think Rodgers is a capable manager and can turn this around ( although does need to very soon). I think one of the big problems Rodgers has is a lack of experience in his back room staff with people like kolo touré, who as a defensive coach clearly does not seem to be up to it and Chris Davies who I forgot was our assistant manager until yesterday as he has so little presence. There only real previous experience was a Celtic. I think he needs to bring in a more experienced coach's and assistant (someone like Shakespeare) who help him when he runs out of ideas and can challenge him when they think he is getting it wrong as I wonder if the lack of experience in the backroom staff mean this isn't happening.

The dilemma though and I'll put your despicable personal insults to one side is that under Ranieri in the late December when it was evidently clear we were in free fall people would have said he earnt the right to turn it around. Its being able to read between the lines.

 

Rodgers has been very good here by and large but we are now 10 months in to a huge regression that is getting worse. Defensively we are worse than any Leicester side I have ever watched, dating back to 1991/92. This regime will end nastily and it will be at some point this season, so why prolong it and risk our long term future. He's a good manager but there's been many managers better and worse than his that have hit a slide like this and eventually got the sack and many will do in the future. No hard feelings to Brendan, a new challenge for all parties is needed.

 

He will be one who likes to look back on his spells and say a club is in better shape than when he joined them but he's precariously close here to that not being the case at all. He's achieved tangible success but that doesn't count for anything in the present or future when measuring the state of the club. We'll forever be grateful for him delivering us thr FA Cup, like we will to Ranieri but neither achievement is worth a dime when your club is busy nosediving towards oblivion.

 

Teams who concede 2 goals or more a game are only going one way and its not the direction our owners and board will have pictured. 

 

It's time he went and this next 3 week spell will prove it. We'll be lucky to get 3-6 points, possibly even a single point and it'll surely be game over for the man. He'll be able to tell anyone that wants to listen that he won us an FA Cup and then turned us in to the single worst defensive outfit at set pieces that the Premier League has ever witnessed. 

I would die for 6 points in this period, where are they coming from?

I've suggested it tongue in cheek but at what point does someone like Sam Allardyce become a serious option? Do we have to consider it if we lose our next three or four league games and are dragged into a relegation scrap?

Rodgers wouldn't be out of work for long Newcastle, Everton, Leeds could all be after a new manager soon, he'd be right at the top of their lists
