Nod.E Posted 28 February 2023 Share Posted 28 February 2023 If we don't go this season it'll be next. I simply cannot foresee a scenario of Rodgers being in post at Premier League Leicester City by the end of next season. And that's about as positive as you'll get from me for the foreseeable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that we're in massive trouble and in very real danger of going down, but some other sides have been woeful. Southampton losing a 1-0 lead at home to 10 man Wolves, just for starters. We're fvcking awful, but we are nowhere near the statement you've made. It doesn't get much worse to be fair, Arsenal and Blackburn both at home losing in the manner we have is an all time low, not to be understated.

Sly Posted 28 February 2023 Share Posted 28 February 2023 Bizarrely, we’ve every chance of doing what Blackburn did. We could languish in the Championship for years, having nothing seasons if we don’t sort ourselves out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, our squad has a habit of keeping it's head when it comes to the business end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surrifox Posted 28 February 2023 Share Posted 28 February 2023 We go behind and you know that we won’t be able to turn it round . When was the last time we succeeded in making a change in formation or personnel to win from a losing situation ? That is on the manager , only Potter at Chelsea looks as supine as BR when the team are playing poorly or when a change is required to counter an opposition player or match up to the oppo’s formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post martyn Posted 28 February 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 28 February 2023 Our era of success is over and the direction of travel seems set, but we absolutely don't need to be relegated. I can't subscribe to that. Relegation could easily be a disaster from which we don't recover for years. We need a couple of things, a good window like Crystal Palace had a year ago when it looked like their squad would get decimated, and to get lucky with the next managerial appointment. It will be incredibly difficult for us though given we will be losing genuine quality in Maddison and Tielemans, quality which is incredibly difficult to replace like for like. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Falling Foxes Posted 28 February 2023 Share Posted 28 February 2023 It should have had the opposite effect but I can't get out my head that Seagrave isn't helping. Irrational probably but the injuries, the lack of effort, players form dropping, too much of a coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixtiesFox Posted 28 February 2023 Share Posted 28 February 2023 Were the Villa and Spurs games another false dawn? Clearly Rodgers is going nowhere so Madders is our only hope for survival. If he gets injured this clown will take us down. He may not be the worst manager we've ever had, as we've certainly had a few duds since I first started supporting City in the early 60s, but I've never despised any of them as much as I do this charlatan! He is sucking the life out of our club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have already started the new era and there is nothing similar from the golden era and now apart from we share the same name in Leicester City. This will end badly and Its not the players fault now, it's not Rodgers fault, it's Tops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season we could be back in the Championship, with no hope of promotion, everyone involved in our title win having left the club, and the club for sale. Every penny and drop of success would have been burned through and washed away, our PL reputation dissolved, and we would be starting from scratch.
