They were 18th place at the turn of the year. They fired their manager, got new owners and invested in the winter window. We might do one of those.

CrazyKopCorner Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Top is definitely culpable and been asleep at the wheel for a while now - get rid now with hopefully some bounce before the World Cup to at least give us a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 At what point can we demands answers from the board? Because I need to know how they can think anything other than sacking Rodgers is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is Tanner just rehashing the obvious pre-match stance that Top wants him to turn this round. Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, known as Khun Top, grimaced and shook his head as he looked down from the executive box. Beneath him, Brendan Rodgers’ players trudged off the pitch following a goalless Premier League draw with Crystal Palace. Was it a reaction to the result? Was it because of the chants from a number of fans who made it clear they wanted Rodgers out? Or maybe it was something to do with the banner held aloft in the Kop that called for action from the board. Khun Top doesn’t want to sack Rodgers, a man who has brought considerable success to his club over the past three seasons. He wants to give him time to turn his struggling side’s fortunes around. Some expected Rodgers’ time to be up at the start of the recent international break, when Leicester picked up just one point in their first seven games, but Khun Top kept faith with his manager, recognising he had been unable to give Rodgers the support he craved in the summer transfer window. There was also recognition that the opening fixtures, which included playing against four of the Big Six, was a tough start. Therefore, the plan was to give Rodgers more time — the next run of games up to the World Cup break — for his side to play themselves back into form.

hebangsthedrums Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Considerable success is debatable. You get no prizes for where you finish in the table if its not top, and we screwed up UCL from very good positions, twice. Yes we won the FA Cup and I will never forget that and Rodgers played a part, but with perhaps skewed hindsight I almost feel that was in spite of him rather than because of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Guest Posted 15 October 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 15 October 2022 Nah I can't believe it. I suspected Rodgers' media campaign about the summer window would probably work on pundits and neutrals who watch us about twice a year and think we're still a direct counter-attacking team who are great at set pieces. I didn't think it'd work on the ****ing chairman. He's been gaslit by his own employee. I understand he had credit in the bank and ideally Top rather not sack him, that's fine. What I don't understand is how you can look at the performances and results over the last however long, the position in the table, the continued inability to address long-standing issues with the team, the unwavering loyalty shown to some players while others are completely cast aside, the constant sniping and blame-shifting and the whining about the lack of signings while he fails to get anything out of the ones he has been given, and still think that keeping Rodgers is the right decision. I don't believe that we're financially unable to sack him, but I'd love it to be true because at least then there would be a more compelling reason for his continued presence here than nostalgia and blind faith. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee7 Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Time for Top to act now. The majority of the fans i speak to have had enough. Sack him before it's too late. Not only is Rodgers reputation in the bin but Top is seriously losing the faith and support of a fair chunk of the fanbase by not relieving him of his duties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
