Popular Post Koke Posted 22 April 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 22 April 2021 All this debate about Rodgers to Spurs. Rodgers is on a huge contract here, only Mourinho and Pep are on more than him. Also, Rodgers took over a decent young team here at Leicester who just needed a better coach to move them on a level. Spurs have a tired depleted squad and a defence that needs loads of money to fix. And lastly, I think Rodgers is looking for bigger things than Spurs. He knows if he continues this upward trajectory here the big dogs may come calling. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Their (pundits) argument basically is Spurs is bigger than Leicester and have almost twice the revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are overplaying the pull of Tottenham. I don't believe Rodgers is desperate to go there. Chelsea would seriously tempt him but I think the Tottenham thing is built up more by the media. If he does want to go, we'll be well compensated and still an attractive choice for a lot. Another good decision and we should be fine. I don't want him to go, just to be clear, and I don't think he will go but we aren't in a bad place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the option on Tuesday of making the statement that he wouldn’t be the next Spurs manager ..... it’s not like he’s waiting for a bigger deal here. He made the easy comments re how happy he is here etc etc and most notably, he said that as long as he continues to be backed by the board then he’s happy to be here ..... he could have closed the door but he didn’t .....

What if he says no and then Tottenham get permission to talk to him? Why is he being asked about other jobs when he's currently in one? Nobody has even made an approach for him. He's settled here but the media have a fascination about him leaving us. It's almost as if they are personally offended we managed to get him.

Before, the big-six was the very thing that the Premier League could pride themselves on: financially colossal clubs whose broadcasting returns powered the world’s most lucrative league. But that stance is now a thing of the past. With the loyalty of these clubs now questionable, the Premier League has found itself a new club to pride itself on – one whose history may have just saved them from disaster: Leicester City. One primary argument that was utilised against the Super League was the spirit of competitivity: the noble idea that any club should have the chance to win it all. The example that was used, again and again, was Leicester City’s fairy-tale win of the Premier League in 15/16. It was the kind of magical story that might never be repeated were the ESL to happen – but it was not the only reason Leicester found themselves brought up.The Super League was allegedly formed to bring together Europe’s best clubs, yet four of the English clubs involved could not even situate themselves above the ambitious Foxes in the league table or reach the FA Cup final as the East Midlands club had just done.Leicester were, at the same time, two reasons why the ESL should not go ahead: they were proof of the miracle of football competitiveness and disruption to the claim that the Super League would provide the highest quality of football. They immediately became a beacon, alongside the German clubs who rejected the Super League proposals, of what a true football club looked like. Although things have since changed, and the project has fallen apart in front of our eyes, opinions are not likely to change quickly. The distrust of the greedy owners and chairmen of the big six will remain, especially amongst the Premier League, and they will be reluctant to put their faith back into them too quickly. But they will still need successful clubs to promote – exciting clubs who proudly show off the values fans fought against. Leicester City are perfectly positioned to take up this mantle. The Foxes already have the big names, the league position, and the history, to be the kind of flagship club the Premier League loves to show off. Players such as Jamie Vardy, James Maddison and Youri Tielemans are quickly becoming household names – and, with the rate Leicester are producing and bringing in exciting youth talent, there are destined to be even more.Players, whose desire for competitivity helped bring down the ESL, will have their own reservations about joining exposed clubs such as Manchester United or Manchester City where their opinions about the state of football may be contradicted or ignored. The Foxes are the perfect alternative, and as a result, they now find themselves a much more attractive destination for young players. These are, undoubtedly, strange circumstances. But without even needing to do anything Leicester City seemed to have gained a new pedigree and authority to their place in the Premier League and the footballing world: they are exactly what everyone was fighting for. Incredible how in the space of a week our club can go from being dragged through the gutter due to multiple players including the club captain breaking the law - to the club that saved football! Typical roller-coaster ride of Leicester City FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
