Does anyone think there’s anything in the Brendan rumours?

[Qwerty]

Well they’re  not rumours exactly, but I heard he’s the bookies favourite to go to Chelsea if they sack Lampard, and there were mutterings about Arsenal too if Arteta is sacked.  I’d like to think he wouldn’t move on from Leicester at the moment though. 

[LestaAl]

Probably complete rubbish.....

[Guest Col city fan]

I genuinely think to lose Brendan would be a disaster for the club

We all know that certain players play for certain managers. He’s brought through Barnes, he’s signed gems like Fofana and Castagne. He’s got us playing some beautiful football (and admittedly some not so good stuff at times too)

But it’s clear our players respect him and are happy. There are no murmurings from anyone about wanting to leave

I so hope he doesn’t shoot off somewhere else at the moment 

[shailen]

He'll be linked of course but that doesn't mean they'll necessarily go for him or he'll leave us. There are other managers who may be of a higher calibre that either may look too should they sack their respective managers. 

[Finnegan]

No

 

One day, sure, but not now. 

[StanSP]

No. Close thread.

 

Don't listen to the bookies when it comes to transfers/managers moving etc. 

 

Ranieri was 66/1 to join us ffs.

[volpeazzurro]

No.

Comments made by Rodgers about Chelsea when he got the Liverpool job most likely closes that avenue. Again only according to rumours. 

[Dr The Singh]

Don't Care

Not sure if its public knowledge but I've seen the house Rodgers lives in and to me I like to think its not the kind of house you'd get if you weren't intending on staying a while

Well it is now 

[Pliskin]

I genuinely don’t think they would pay his compensation.... it must be colossal.... he won’t go anyway, Chelsea is a short term shit show and arsenal...... well, arsenal are shite.

I’ve seen it also. It’s the kind of house you get when you’re on £8m a year though....

 

 

rodgers to Chelsea is lazy journalism. Why would he want to go there anyway?

I hope we don't offer him a better deal. He's on a handsome wage as it is and we can't up it everytime he gets linked with a different job

[1972 Fox]

Let's hope that Lampard survives or Chelsea look elsewhere if not.

 

If Chelsea come in for Brendan, he's gone.

we can promise him significant investment, he can have a larger say in which players we target, but it’s possible we could increase his wage I suppose, or at least the length of his contract to give him the security that the project he’s bought into will be around for a while..

If its the one in Bradgate Park he isn't there anymore.

What do I know but IMO Rodgers is not that disloyal or stupid. I do not think it was at all unreasonable he left Celtic to join LCFC. He' d given Celtic good service. Surely Rodgers is a bigger man than this and it verges on a disrespectful thread to me. I'm almost certain that this rumour would never have come from anywhere near Rodgers in which case its scuttlebutt.

He hasn't brought through Barnes. Barnes has been steadily progressing on his own: neither West Brom, Puel nor Bren can take much credit.

 

I'd credit him for Cags amazing rise. And Wilf's incredible improvement. Maybe Castangne too. Fofana is a force of nature. Nothing's going to stop that lad.

He's got ideas above us. That's a fact. A chance comes along for one of the big boys he takes it 

[HybridFox]

No chance this season. Probably not the next either
