Babylon Posted 11 January 2023 Share Posted 11 January 2023 6 hours ago, Dames said: I imagine if the money was right he would have signed. Rodgers has alluded to this. I think the biggest issue we have is that the club broke its wage structure to sign Rodgers up long term and the knock on effect is that players and agents are lining up to get what they feel they are worth comparatively too. The problem we have is that we don't have the money or the revenues to be paying many players over 6 figures a week. No he really wouldn’t, it was clear his intentions when he would only sign a 4 year deal and then kept refusing offers despite being in champions league places 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply can't fault him He wouldn’t sign when we were in champions league places, opening £100m training grounds and planning a ground game expansion. He had no intention of signing, as is happening more widely in football with players taking the power away from clubs who want to hold them hostage or ask silly fees…. See Kane, Rice, Maddison to name three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t understand how anyone outside of us can’t see how shit we are. Then again, when we were good, hardly anyone saw that too. Maybe I should stop looking at Twitter for info.

Guest Col city fan Posted 11 January 2023 Share Posted 11 January 2023 (edited) Southampton tonight showing what can be achieved with a very average squad. Well organised, and TONS of effort, with one or two good players. This could be a big springboard for them tonight. In stark contrast to Leicester, they started this game believing they could win it. We started last night having already lost it. And I doubt Nathan Jones is on 10m a year. Edited 11 January 2023 by Col city fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I’m making is the self belief. We went there last night being mentally defeated before the game started. That’s the job of the manager to a. Stop making fookin excuses and b. Instill belief into the team. Neither happened. For 10 million quid a year, that’s shit management. Rodgers is a fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say newcastle were missing their 3 current top players; joellintin, Almiron and tripper, lost 3 on the spin and had relegation looming versus us with a few unbeaten and Ricky, Evans and Madders all on song. Ifs and buts and it's not a.complaint. we've had a roll; league cup semi, European semi, fa cup win, 2 x top 4 pushes and another European campaign... playing (and beating) beleaguered Newcastle sideals amongst others.

And accept it's someone else's turn for a good roll I can’t see why the following: a. Some awful signings b. Blowing big wages on rubbish c. A significant deterioration in once excellent players d. A complete lack of self belief e. No explanations from the board regarding the clubs finances f. Blowing two top four finishes by going on incredibly bad runs g. No talk at a higher level regarding whether Rodgers needs to be replaced Is indicative of a ‘cyclical change’. It didn’t need to be like this. We COULD have taken the 2016 League win, signed some really good players and cemented our future You are making excuses. The ‘cyclical nature’ of football success and failure is a feeble argument. It ain’t necessarily so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfc098 Posted 11 January 2023 Share Posted 11 January 2023 At the end of the day, I think it’s the end of an era for the club. We had a good 5/6 years which was unusual for a club our size and we failed to take advantage of it due to poor ownership, coaching whatever you wanna call it. We could’ve cemented ourselves as a top 6 club but we’ve absolutely bottled any chance of that now. We’ll go back to being a midtable premier league club if we don’t get relegated this season. If we do get relegated this season, not sure where we’ll end up to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cyclical nature of football is a myth and the sort of stuff they come up with on talksport, when are Blackburn for instance due their next run at the title? Our problems run deep and are due to mismanagement (as much as the good times were down to good management) and in that I don't just mean Brendan Rodgers.
