Spot on. It has to be pitched in context doesn’t it. Supposedly top level manager. No signings but we didn’t sell many either. Pretty much same group of players who have done well in the Prem. To this…. A relegation ding-dong. Somebody made the point yesterday @foxfanazer? that we still aren’t really being spoken about as being in the relegation equation. So many pundits are still relying on the argument that Rodgers must be too good to take any club down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t be ‘earning’ 10 mill as a Championship manager. It would be renegotiated or he’d be given the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live on a knife edge, everything decision taken by the club had to be right, every single time, but we got it wrong (a few times) and this is the result, but….we are not gone yet, there is some hope. Hope only works if the club makes the right decisions going forward so I guess that's the main question really, are the club making the right decisions? Hopefully we can scrape through but the evidence for it is really slim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 19 March 2023 Share Posted 19 March 2023 If we get relegated and he stays he’ll have to sign a different type of player to get us back up, players that want to roll their sleeves up and scrap for every point, no soft underbelly and tippee tapee football in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I wouldn’t. And finally, he’d have to take a decent pay cut to stay. If we do go down, I think Rodgers goes (in whatever way transpires) and we will start over.

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 19 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 19 March 2023 Let's have it straight here, staying up is not an achievement this season. However, relegation is an absolute disgrace and should never ever be excused from the position we've gotten ourselves in to. That said, if we do stay up then an outpouring of emotion from fans will no doubt be mistaken as celebration. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Vesty and Bertrand? As the weeks go by the reality of this situation is really sinking in. We’re ****ed aren’t we?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 21 March 2023 Author Share Posted 21 March 2023 Mitrovic's ban coinciding with Fulham playing all of our relegation rivals just screams that this is meant to be.

The number of players who've gone from 'stats up there with the best in the top 5 European leagues' to 'don't have the quality, not got the right attitude in training' It's inexcusable. From a man who's supposed to be an incredible coach that develops players? What a crock of shite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
