Brendan Rodgers

[Koke]

Last season was disastrous for us and we finished above the mighty Brighton.  Anybody who says we don't have better players and aren't a bigger club isn't a serious person. We just have an incompetent manager.

Better players too.

None of which seemingly want to be here.

Potter won't care about recent history, football management isn't a long career and you're always much better off looking at the here and now. For all our recent success, would you say Brighton are in a weaker position than us now?  

Leicester is absolutely a step up and an opportunity for him to push to the elite level.

Cant imagine a man lining up with lallana and Welbeck looks at Leicester and thinks "cor thats a step down"

 

The opportunity is there for an ambitious manager next season. Plenty of deadwood moving on and there'll be an opportunity to build a new core of the squad.

 

Hes taken a poorer Brighton team and been statistically better than Leicester for 2 years. If he had a squad that could defy their xG and xPts like we can, he would be in dream land.

How about Marco Silva from Fulham? Seems to be dealing with arsenal better than we did.

Yes but the question was size of club.  We aren’t massive but we’re a bigger club than Brighton based on the criteria I just mentioned.

Barely, not enough to take a manager. 

[diggler]

Not sure if Potter would want to join us. But saying we’re not a bigger club is a joke. We’ve won more, and bigger fan base. (For reference, for the geeks, if you average out major trophies won and average attendance, we’re the 16th biggest club - Brighton have never won anything and average attendance is 12,191, the 39th best)

Has brendan the clown gone yet.

Please TOP  brighten up our weekend.

[Rusko187]

Didn’t play Ndidi because they wanted to progress through the pitch quicker, presumably to be more attack minded.

 

We are pushing for an equaliser and have Chelsea on the ropes.

In the 89th minute Rodgers brain tells him to sub a forward thinking player for a defensive player?!?!

When he leaves a club they are definitely in a better state.

We aren't going to be. Liverpool weren't either.

He won't want a relegation on his record,  he's going to be open to a mutual decision

I was alluding to the fact that Rodgers leaving improves a club

We have a stronger squad.

We have a shit manager.

We don’t have a stronger squad… it’s progressively got worse, and only getting worse with Fofana leaving and potentially Tielemans as well 

 

That back four & keeper looks like a championship team

Midfield is ok but not really performing

Vardy 36, misfiring and not getting any younger… 

Barnes is the one who’d get in most sides, other than, I don’t see anything special

Forest are a bigger club than us then.

Watched soccer Saturday and kris Boyd said he thought Rodgers hasn’t got long left with us. But never criticised him. Just felt sorry for him. 

This will be the media portrayal of the situation.  Boyd went so far as to say Rodgers had been treated badly by the club ffs! Yes, so badly that he's one of the best paid managers in the game despite putting out teams for double digit months now bereft of ideas, attacking intent and failing to fulfill the potential of the squad.

Agreed. The stats say just above us. 15th

[Corky]

Saying we lack aggression every week is the most irritating of many things about him. The local reporters should call him out on it.

Equally I can't imagine he would look at us lining up with Ward and Amartey, one winger, no signings, Fofana on the way and think "wow, what a step up". If we can go some way to turning our season around and Brighton drop off pretty significantly, neither of which are impossible, he might be tempted in the summer if we promised him some serious funds to get a rebuild going. He strikes me as a pretty intelligent man whereas I think he'd have to be pretty thick to come here now with the two teams where they are.

[Sankey93]

Got to sack tonight imo and get someone in asap. We need some fresh blood aswell but we have left it too late. I can’t even see ya signing anyone either! I’m worried.

You've framed this in such a skewered way to suit your point man. Do you think Potter, with a settled squad he's shaped and seemingly looks to be on an upward trajectory - looks at a club that it appears can't buy anyone, two of its best players want to bugger off, and is bloated with absolute shite - and is going "banging, no brainer." Brighton at the moment are a much surer thing to a big gig than we are because he'd have to spend the best part of two seasons cleaning up a mess.

 

I agree we have a good squad but as it stands we look as if we're losing two very very good footballers with a week left of the window open. He'd be mad to switch.

He bought Ndidi on for his height in the box for the last 5.

[Vlad the Fox]

Even if we did get potter we’d lose him next spring once the fa dump southgate.
