Brendan Rodgers

[Tanya]

The club hasnt tweeted anything in 15 hours, no aftermath of the game, no manager interviews, nothing. That seems highly unusual and hopefully indicates Rodgers being sacked will be announced today.

The sacking of Ranieri was a potentially a higher PR risk for the Board.  Has any manager in the history of the EPL ever survived this kind of season start?  Get this done and put him on gardening leave to minimize cash flow.  He will want to find another job soon enough.

Perhaps interesting to note there is no Rodgers post match interview over on the lcfc site.

Yep pretty much this is the biggest indicator.

I have a feeling that it’ll be today. Just a feeling in the back passage.

The best kind of feeling.

I'd be amazed if he's still here by Wednesday. The social media blackout is very telling imo.

I just hope they are as quick to appoint his successor as they were to appoint Rodgers. They were right on it within a few days after Puel went if I recall correctly.

He gone yet?

[Fosse93]

Would the media team be that much "in the know" to not post anything though?

[taupe]

I've just watched his interview after the Brighton game. Not what I wanted to hear. He talks in terms of mistakes made (which I don't like to begin with)  distances himself from them, then magnanimously says things like 'but listen, I understand'  His supposed taking of responsibility is quotes for the press and empty.

 

Some of the pundits don't buy it though. Listen to this analysis on NBC

 

 

Edit: personally, I think his constant viewing of a loss in terms of blame is ruining the confidence of his players, and to talk of them lacking a skillset is just outrageous. He's destroying them bit by bit.

They wouldn’t, but I imagine Susan or someone similar has given them some direction to not post anything.

Woke up feeling just as deflated as during the game 😫. Somethings gotta give before Saturday.

@themightyfin is usually spot on, and the media silence is deafening. By lunchtime today it will be announced that Brendan has been booted.

Email from the club....

That’s what I was wondering, I doubt it, and if they were told not to not put anything out on the website or social media then that would have got out and there would be rumours circulating all over the place. 
 

I can’t see how he stays and the club quite often keep things very quiet. If the decision has been made or a meeting is scheduled then I’d assume only a few at the very top would know. If I remember correctly all their previous sackings have come out the blue, as in no Twitter or social media reporting it beforehand. 
 

So the positive to take from the silence is that it could be happening, just that we won’t here anything until it does.

Rumour through the club is that board members are meeting at Seagrave this morning to discuss Rodgers departure from the club. Announcement expected by 5pm. Let’s see. #lcfc

i can’t be waiting till 5pm… gonna be a long day regardless 

[teblin]

The financials are the sticking point here I would guess. Might not be as simple as just sacking.

The owners rarely do a blame game, I am sure they will make aware to potential managers what Rodgers did and why he has been removed.

I agree they won’t stoop to those lows. From a PR standpoint it may not be ideal. I suspect Percy will offer a detailed insight once it happens, he usually does. But I just hope that clubs take note of his conduct.

He really isn't. Sure he means well, but he gets more wrong than he does right. @ramadaone and @Albert generally have a better track record and both have said that the end is coming.

[Fox92]

Has anybody posted "has he gone yet"?

Love all of your ability to find all of these tweets mate, but when I look at this twitter user, it states he’s a Digital Marketing Schoolboy.

Yeah they wouldnt know anything but this is very deliberate from the club. This is unusual behaviour.
