He did…
It started after the charity shield win. I remember watching Rodgers post match interview, and his body language was really odd…. When he gave the answers to his questions, he was aiming his answers at all of the other journalists and pundits stood nearby. He never once looked at (I think it was Stringer, in the eye) he constantly looks around almost like he was promoting himself, talking about his ambition, hunger and desire to win.
After that game he thought he would land the next “big job”, he thought he had done enough to prove himself again, but, it never came…. After the spurs job went to that bellend who’s at Forest, he lost all interest and then started gobbing off about the club being shit (which we know it is) and just gave up. He tossed the towel on after that and couldn’t be arsed anymore…. It just became a moan fest and gradually eroded into what was the end of his tenure. He did everything he could to get sacked, and if the rumours are true, he threw the towel in after the palace game and basically asked to be let go.
