2 things 

1) brighton won’t pay brendan what he wants by a long way so he won’t resign to take that 

2) Brendan won’t leave us without his £10m 

 

if he gets his payoff and then takes the brighton job (that’s feasible because he will have his big wedge) , what have we gained?? 

If he stays with us and takes us down, it might finally, FINALLY have a negative impact on his public image.

 

People outside the club are already starting to change their tune on him, and the longer he stays here the louder that will be.

 

The quicker he buggers off and swiftly take a new job, the more self-image he saves. Is the money more important to him than other people's perception of him, only he will know.

That is history, the here and now is obvious to everybody. He is a failing manager. If you take away his debatable excuses , he is a failing manager. When they go into decline , managers rarely make it back to the top.

Most managerial jobs end in failure. Many still go onto other clubs and do well, at least for a short while. Mourinho has been sacked how many times and has still gone onto win trophies at other clubs.

Make it happen PLEASE

Yes please!!!

It’s well known that the Brighton chairman etc basically choose how they want the team to play, then pick a manager who has that particular style. Can’t see the poisonous little **** going for that!!

[Sunbury Fox]

I know we all want him gone but have we really fallen so low that we are losing our manager to Brighton?!

My point is he won’t leave us without his payoff to take a job at Brighton on a third of what he’s earning here

Hasn't Ben Jacobs been repeatedly outed as a shite source?

[RowlattsFox]

I don't think Brighton potentially looking at Rodgers completely out of the question. A lot of people fall for his bullshit. Not sure they'd offer the same money though.

It's too late for me, Clap. I'm in too deep now. Let that post be a warning to wiser Foxestalkers 🫡

To be fair, 18 months ago we'd just won the FA Cup and I think Brendan's status was in pretty high regard

Hmmm, it was, but there were murmers of discontent amongst some of us.

 

Listen we were all very grateful and excited of our FA Cup win but you strip it down, we were poor in the lead up (Since January iirc) to the final and we were poor since.

 

In isolation the FA Cup win was fantastic and we’re all grateful for it, take nothing away from it itself but it papered of a lot of cracks.

I think he’d still largely avoid the negative perception from others with the ‘I couldn’t strengthen the squad and we weren’t good enough’ excuse. Nothing to do with him. 

He's a master of covering his own deficiencies by blame shifting with convincing words. He fooled me for a long time.

We can't be too proud to turn it down.

I think a lot of his stuff is based on hunches or reading between the lines. We could do it if we had the time

Imagine being Rodgers, he thought he’d be off to somewhere like Arsenal or Manchester United.

I look at it more like you have on old settee in the garage. It was good in its day but is all worn and knackered now - with damp patches where the cat pissed on it. 

 

Your neighbours just asked if he can have it for nowt...

[STUHILL]

Ben Jacobs makes stuff up that has at least some likelihood of happening. If he gets one right, then he is ITK and then the countless times he guessed wrong, gets swept away. Sounds like someone mighty on here  

[Wymsey]

Doubt that Brighton will sustain their current position.

Rodgers, if he goes there, might make them into relegation candidates.

Brighton are more than a worthy club for Brendan. 

 

They've been a terrific club for a few years now and his BS will probably see them do well for another year or two until his poison starts to work its way through

I was just about to ask the same. Is he actually trustworthy enough?

His family moved back up to Manchester as they thought Leicester was too far. Can't see Brighton being an option for him? But let's hope I'm wrong! 

 
 

Money talks I suppose

[Guest ttfn]

Brighton wouldn’t be suckered in by the media noise around Rodgers.

 

They made a very media-unfriendly decision to fire Hughton and appoint Potter because they have a management team that look past the bluster and are focussed on statistics and what will yield the best results for the club in the long run.

 

They’d take one look at our underlying stats under Rodgers and close the file on him. Especially for the money Rodgers would want. 

Obviously hope it’s true but no chance it is.

[Matt]

Why wouldn't Brighton want Rodgers?!

 

I mean he's an 'elite manager', someone who we should consider 'lucky to have', they should be 'careful what the wish for' if the were to look elsewhere.
