Hopefully have enough quality to do the unthinkable and go down I think even if we go into the season as is minus Chilwell we could be comfortably mid table. It would be a shame not to kick on but something funny seems to be going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a few others have also heard similar but the fact its been very high hush is odd, hopefully its wide of the mark but the lack of media coverage of our pre-season last week might be no coincidence.

I think we will go down if we lose Chilwell and fail to adequately add to the squad we won’t be good enough to compete on all fronts. Europa league would have to be sacrificed and the league prioritised. Last seasons slump proves the side isn’t capable of competing for the duration, how we will cope with an extra cup competition is beyond me. We don’t sign at least three players before the season starts, we’re done in my opinion. Hope I’m wrong, but I can’t see it any other way.

kristianity77 Posted 25 August 2020 Share Posted 25 August 2020 I also think that we are in for a struggle this season. Can't see how we can all of a sudden come up with better form than we had for the last 20 games of last season which was bottom 6 was it not? And we've done nothing so far buying wise and let chilwell go. I have to admit, I'm worried by this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true then he's an arrogant tosser. We were ****ing awful for about 20 games, it's worrying that he doesn't see what we all see. This is of course assuming it is true.

They'll be a few teams worse off than us and our quality will shine through. We have decent players if not a big squad. If shit properly hits the fan we'll be out of Europe by January and can focus on the premier league for the second half of the season. No way the likes of Palace, Newcastle, west brom, Fulham, Leeds etc finish above us in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as much as it pains me to say it we might need to sack off the Europa this season. Last seasons collapse coupled with what's looking like a less than positive summer recruitment drive has me worried that the worst could happen. Don't like how things are being done at the club at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If discipline has now become an issue and that falls in the remit of the manager then the powers that be has a right to answers. Should it conclude that Rodgers' term as manager is to be terminated then it will be a fair wedge to be paid against the remainder of his contract, but should it be proven that he is not adhering to his contract then we might find a compromise position where we pay 50% of the balance of his contract. I back the owners should it come to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure... we got outplayed twice by Norwich last season, who limped back into the Championship. We’re easy picking at the moment, and something drastic needs to happen to turn the form around. I can just see it all going horribly wrong, Watford finished fairly high season before last season, and look at them.... I’m not happy with how things have gone since January, and there’s no sign of them improving anytime soon........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's only rumour, but I hope that Rodgers is not arrogant enough to believe that he is untouchable and beyond reproach after leading us over a cliff in 2020. The scales are beginning to fall from my eyes. Edited 25 August 2020 by murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is happy about how things have been or how the summer is going tbh. It's turning into a bit of a shit show. I feel our quality will shine through and we won't be in trouble, you don't, but hopefully the club will get their shit together and sign some quality players so we don't have to find out. I think we can both agree on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Rennie sacked, no fresh faces, paper thin squad at training, minimal social media content - all can’t be well behind the scenes. Taking our second half of the season form into account too, it stinks of Rodgers gone by Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
