I have no idea what Dennis would actually say but a lot of evidence suggests that he doesn't buy Rodgers's overall football philosophy.. Speaking out is of course a breach of contract so he will not do that now. Praet came because of the excellent contract he was offered but it appears he and his agent did not do their homework properly on Rodgers's style of play. The way an experienced ,international player has been marginalised though can only be explained by Praet himself.

He moved back up north months ago.
Reg Vardy Posted 8 May 2022 Posted 8 May 2022 Mahrez had a house in London when he was here….anyone in Premier league football can pretty much buy any property anywhere…it’s called investing in their future…Robbie Fowler is a classic example….. 1

And the away form wasn't much better. Think they won something like 1 or 2 games across a period of 2 months? Totally agree but this was also at the time when Bissouma had off-field problems (allegedly) and wasn’t in the squad. Webster (arguably their most rounded CB got injured), Dunk got himself suspended etc etc. I’m not saying Potter is the best manager in the world but if look at the quality of squads (already mentioned the obvious gulf in strikers), their wage budget etc etc. Then I’d like to think in comparison they have out performed us in most metrics.

Rodgers talking about a rebuild, supporters saying we need quality in 5 or 6 positions. The quality we need is around the £30-£40 million mark. So £200 million then, minimum. We haven’t got that, we won’t have that unless we sell 3/4 of our best players. Then we might need 6-7 players. Brendan talking about a rebuild is just putting all the blame on the players yet again. 3 1 1

Gazza M Posted 8 May 2022 Posted 8 May 2022 If we slump to not even finishing as high as the great escape season and he can't muster some points from the next 3 games he can just walk.
An Sionnach Posted 8 May 2022 Posted 8 May 2022 I don't think the players disrespect Rodgers , that is not the problem its really that they don't think they can do what he wants them to do. He is a believer in possession football and they are not equipped to do the job properly. They try I'm sure but they do not have the control or intelligence to play it at the standard he wants. To create a team that can play that way , like peak Barcelona or Man.City is often a very expensive process and we do not gave the financial power to do that. He is a stubborn man , no doubt , Ulstermen usually are , but he will have to accept that he cannot continue trying to find something that isn't there. Roma , Real Madrid and yesterday Spurs played to their strengths and gained results proving that possession football like everything has a counter argument. 1

You: "I'm disappointed and frustrated so the detail of what I say must therefore be fact". Judge: "Case thrown out". But it's not a court is it. It's about awakening supporters. I dont like his posession obsession... and the things he says seem to just deflect from his obvious flaws. I find that convincing people requires a cumulative effect. 1

Vichai would have, he had a Ruthless streak where managers were concerned. Unfortunately we lack his guidance and leadership in many ways. 1

He is though one of a tiny few experienced internationals who has been loaned out in the PL. This appears to be a clash of minds to me.

With very few injury problems in this last 3rd of the season, to bomb from the top half and finish 13th/14th would be unacceptable IMO. I'd be fascinated what excuses he could use, he'll be frantically looking for a new angle. This is why he’s already started on the “need a rebuild” PR. He’s a limited football manager but has immense skill in feeding the media with their story … the story that always justifies BR 1

Even if your pure speculation turns out to be true, how do you know that Preat in the right and Rodgers is in the wrong? You've not only invented an argument, you've apportioned blame too. 1

There is no right or wrong in that. Only the match results tell the truth.

Popular Post Webbo Posted 8 May 2022 Popular Post Posted 8 May 2022 You see, this the problem I have with the Rodgers out types. So much of their criticism is based on unhinged fantasy. Instead of a player not being good enough, he's not being played because Brendan's got something against him. Or Brendan won't sign players taller than him, or he sacked the physio because he wouldn't let him play injured players or he refused to let the club employ a doctor. All theories based on the sum total of fck all. Now you can criticise the results or the playing style, fair enough. I think there are obvious reasons for why the seasons turned out like it has but others will disagree and they're entitled to their opinions. Please just stop with this tinfoil hat conspiracy bollox. 7

Brendan talking about a rebuild is just putting all the blame on the players yet again. If he is such a genius why didn‘t he do a rebuild last summer? Why did he sign the two Saints‘ rejects. He signed Daka and Soumare and they have spent most of their time on the bench, same as Praet. Wasted £30m on Perez. That’s almost £100m wasted.
