Are you Rodgers in, or Rodgers out?

Wolves have had loads of injuries.

They didn’t have many the year they were in Europe for much of the season and finished 7th in the league.

Given the performances in our last seven games I really don't know how anybody could vote "IN" and keep a straight face.

Yes it was the best football I had seen since I started going in 1981. I never dreamt we would play like that and finish 5th in the top division - and he did it twice.

Did you miss the 2016 season entirely??

 

We won the league by 10 points, it was great - try and get the DVD, it’s well worth a watch!!

It doesn’t matter that we have less injuries now - we have been crippled by injuries during the season. That may be down to our medical staff but that’s a different argument. You have given one good example of Wolves but really doubt they could have done it with so many missing.

Middlesbrough and Fulham have also done well in Europe going back a bit further. But I’m bored of arguing it now, we clearly have different views on Brendan.

This man has the potential to ruin our club for many years to come. Use your own eyes and not buy in to the biased very scripted media. They read a brief and regurgitate, they don't physically pay and go down there every week and witness what's happening!

I can’t see how Brendan can turn things around now. He and his coaching team clearly cannot solve the problems that have been haunting us for a while now.

He gives us the same reasons for the failures but is no nearer to solving them.

I think Graham Potter would be a good replacement. Has done a solid job at Brighton and would probably see us as a good step forward.

Can't see Potter coming here, I'm afraid it isn't a step up.

Think he'll have another year at Brighton before joining Spurs in 2023 when Conte decides he wants to move on or even this summer if PSG sack Poch

I thought the quality of football was better in 2019/20 and 2020/21.

[RowlattsFox]

I do feel the squad needs a overhaul, can we afford to do that if we are paying Rodgers off. It's the risk we took when we have him the new contract so quickly. Unless these last 4 games go as bad they could, he will get the summer. 

 

I think the whole club needs a break, fans included, and come back next season with renewed optimism

That’s rubbish. Fulham for example finished 12th when they did well in Europe.

[Dahnsouff]

Such disrespect to the club, suggesting Brendan would be allowed to ruin the club. Get a grip.

Cmon Brendan, at least recognise the 5000-1 miracle season!! 
 

I know we didn’t win the possession stats but it wasn’t a bad run for little old Leicester!!!

I wasn’t sure where either of them finished in the league it’s too far back for me to remember. Incidentally 12th is probably better than we’re going to finish though.

I bet they didn’t have any injuries

That is correct, Hodgson had a small squad and was quite lucky.

 

The point I am trying to make is that it is unrealistic to expect any club outside of the big 6 to get into Europe and then do well in that competition and have a good league season. The examples of it happening are so few and far between and you definitely need the rub of the green and luck with injuries.

The title season was the best winning football I have seen us play but not the best quality.

And we've done neither

What's Mancini doing???

Still Italy manager. He'd be my choice but gotta admit it's unrealistic 

[nnfox]

A poll like this was always going to be negative after a game like this afternoon's.  If we win the next two, then the mood will change.

 

But I am Rodgers out.

 

The set piece situation is unforgivable and should have been sorted out months ago.

 

The sideways and backwards possession actually hinders us.  There have been far too many games in his tenure where an opposition team sits back to defend a lead against us and we are completely bereft of any ideas as to break a team down.  Thursday night was a good example.

 

If the reports are true that he had a debrief in the changing room after the game today, asking the players for their thoughts, then that tells me he has completely run out of ideas.

 

It's time for Leicester City to move on for the good of the club and it's time for Brendan to move on for the good of his career.

 

Thank you, sincerely, for the FA Cup, but this relationship has run its course.

The problem is that although we didn’t do well in Europe we stayed in it until May which has affected the league performances. The result has been the worst of both worlds!

Don't think the mood will change all that much. 

 

The combination of Roma and today has surely sealed his exit.

[foxfanazer]

An ambitious club sacks him

[mozartfox]

In for me. IMO he still has some credit in his account.  But he needs to make some changes in his coaching staff.  The defending of set pieces as been our un-doing.

This is a tough question, I'd want to know who are we going to get before I'd say Brendan out.  I know it's been a crap season but luck was never on our side.

 

A clear out a few good signings and I think we'd be better for it. So I'll hold off for now and see what unfolds.

 

If we were to change I'd be all over Cooper at Forest. He's clearly a top manager in the making. Plus if we poached him away it would keep foest in their place.
