I have a horrible Peter Taylor feeling about all this. Everyone's joy and enthusiasm seem OTT.

OMG not just me then . Also get the feeling that some believe the route to top 7 opens easily up once we sell 2 current England internationals and get all that lovely dosh

If Rodgers is successful no one will care one jot, if it goes bad it'll just add to the reasons to start an out thread.

It'll take a lot of moaning away from Rudkin.

Stay positive!!! We have an excellent coach and young players. 

 

What I think is needed is patience. I doubt Rodgers is magically going to wave a magic wand and fix things. In fact it probably will get worse before it gets better and the weekend game already gave us a preview of that. 

 

But just remember that through the good times and the bad, we always back the lads!

Worrying reading . They had a series of terrible managers though and it’s odd that such vitriol has landed on someone in recruitment 

[Crispin LA]

If there was any chance of Eduardo Macia staying after the summer, there's no chance of him extending his contract with Leicester city. 

How will he feel if reads the Telegraph and it says leicesters new manager wants to have you replaced. If I was Macia I wouldn't want to stay here if Brendon doesn't want to work with you! 

[Matt]

It just concerns me we’ll be signing a load of SPL players or players that are of SPL standard.

 

We’ve been there before and it didn’t work well, in the Championship.

Give him time man, come on We would be foolish to sack Brendan after one game ? trust him mate and Top, I am sure next season we will be in the Top 7.

I'm a big Rodgers advocate, I just have an unshakeable feeling this will he a disaster, it often is for our club when on paper something looks a huge coup.

I think the Peter Taylor feel good factor disappeared to the accompaniment of the twanging of Matt Jones’ knee ligaments in his second game 

[Ric Flair]

The happy medium to all of this is that Rodgers and Steve Walsh worked for Chelsea at the same time from 2004 - 06 and he comes back rather than this div.

[surrifox]

TBF this might be a FT first - the demonisation of some recruitment apparatchik we haven’t yet recruited - but I can’t shake the feeling that he’s not for us 

[Guest Manini]

We were warned about this to be fair. It’s meant to get worse before it gets better.....right? 

 

But, on the bright side, it might not happen!!

Bruccianis is closing 

 

Maybe he’s coming in to save them.

No......I used to be taken for an ice cream there in the 50s when Mum and Dad went to town....the whole city centre shops changed between then and now - except Bruccianis.

Me too. Still unsure on his appointment. Keeping my fingers crossed I am wrong

[Guest Cujek]

we are a successful business, turning a profit (a rare thing in football), i cant see one man being allowed to make poor decisions to change that.

 

we will pick up the odd turd, we will pick up the odd gem, its always the way of things.

Me neither. It is bound to happen.

 

This recruitment guy seems like a standard move to go back to our poor post-title recruitment ways.

But his track record seems horrendous, I hope the club do their due diligence on this rather than simply allow the manager free reign on it, Ranieri, Shakespeare and Puel certainly didnt have that fortune.

[ealingfox]

With any luck Rudkin will see an allied manager and head of recruitment as too big a threat to his power and block it.

I dont think Rogers will either to be honest, i dont think we are all of a sudden going to change the way we do business and sign players.

 

he has made some horrendous errors thats for sure (Rodwell for 10 million!), i hope we are a bit more savvy and pragmatic than the likes of Sunderland.

This Compper bloke they’re on about sounds like a sort of Tartan Jr Lewis 

[fleetofox]

Brendan knows him well. We will just have to wait and see

[Gerard]

Look at the state of those signings in his first full year at Sunderland. £60m FFS
