ARM1968 Posted 16 February 2021 Posted 16 February 2021 Why not stay and build us into the big team we’re close to becoming? Spurs? Levy won’t sack Jose and pay him out - can’t see it. Squad is utter shite and needs a rebuild from ground up. Kane will probably leave. Just cannot see anything other than Man City or Utd.

Think I read it would cost Spurs £15m to sack Mourinho. It would take £20m for any club to take Rodgers from us (pretty sure that’s the clause in his new contract) so that’s £35m just on managers... can’t see it! 1

I think we're safe for a season or so before Brendan becomes a prize we can't keep Yes, Spurs have bigger issues these days. Levy has found himself in a bit of a hole with a new stadium & covid, not to mention Jose needs to go but they can't afford to pay him off. They can't afford the "cheese room" let alone Brendan. 2 1
Popular Post ozleicester Posted 17 February 2021 Popular Post Posted 17 February 2021 What makes people think that Rodgers wants to leave us. He has a fantastic YOUNG side that is growing into a fantastic young squad. In coming years we could be in the position of a regular, title, cup and champs league competitor. He has the option to help grow a team and club that may make history...all with somewhat less pressure than if he was to go to an internationally recognisable club. Leicester City could be on the cusp of greatness, the players manager and club can surely see this and would be crazy to walk away from it. 5

fox_up_north Posted 17 February 2021 Posted 17 February 2021 I wouldn't say it's out of the question. The thing is he's been around the block enough to know the grass isn't always greener. He would absolutely be tempted by a Chelsea or a Man United or even Man City. But... - Chelsea is a ridiculously poisoned chalice - Man City means following Pep and means the expectation of winning Champs League/ premier league Yes, he might get the money and the big budget but there's a lot that comes with that. Realistically - if he stays with us, he gets relative control, a supportive fanbase with (mostly) realistic expectations, less pressure and owners that can really buy in to what he wants. If he puts our name on a trophy here, he becomes on par with Ranieri and O'Neill. He also has a realistic chance of doing that. I can see him trying to get a cup or something, then going. He'll have proved he can win and that turns heads. I also wouldn't be surprised if he's tempted by Spain.
Happy Fox Posted 17 February 2021 Posted 17 February 2021 I look at Barcelona as the sort of club he will join next. All the players at the club have improved Barnes has the potential to be a world class actually we have a lot of players that could step up to that level which is very exciting.
majaco Posted 17 February 2021 Posted 17 February 2021 He must be Thu king of what could be achieved next season. Injuries have derailed us this year but we have done well. If the squad can be kept together and a couple of judicious signings made, we could be contenders for the league.
Rusko187 Posted 17 February 2021 Posted 17 February 2021 It strikes me as though he prefers to build up a team rather then buy a team. This philosophy won't fit all clubs (especially Chelsea), I'm not saying he will never leave us but we are a good match and it's clearly showing.. if he stays another year or 2, I honestly think we could be title contenders. If some fat lad from Sileby can see that, then I'm sure he can.
Webbo Posted 17 February 2021 Posted 17 February 2021 (edited) Ranieri did the impossible, won the league and was sacked the following season. All managers know they are just a run of bad results away from the sack. It doesn't make sense to be overly loyal, the club won't be loyal to you. If a better offer comes along he'd be stupid to ignore it. Edited 17 February 2021 by Webbo

fox_up_north Posted 17 February 2021 Posted 17 February 2021 Ranieri was unique in that we all expected a drop off but the drop was so big that...well...we all remember. Rodgers is building something and his signings reflect that. Fofana, Castagne, Praet and making Youri a permanent transfer. Only Perez stands out. Those are all good signings and Perez is far from our worst - it's just the fee that makes him look bad.

From all angles.
Le Renard Posted 17 February 2021 Posted 17 February 2021 I think he might stay until he feels he can take us as far as he can, and the only reason I see him leaving before that is if the relationship with the board becomes frayed. At the moment there is no evidence or rumours of that type floating about in the ether!
