The statement should have been out before the coach left Brighton, but I think Rodgers will get Villa although he absolutely shouldn't. We've always heard Percy "on the brink" and "set to be sacked" articles but there is none of this; I question our appetite for sacking Rodgers or our affordability to do so. Villa could be crucial, you'd think its important to get it done before villa

I’m sure there’s some wiggle room to get rid of Brendan, his staff and get a new manager in. We could put him on gardening leave for a start. 9 minutes ago, Shane said: If it was truly dire we wouldn’t have signed Wout Faes and gave him a 5 year contract, or tried to get Boga on loan who would have added to the wage bill?

They were not looking to sack Rodgers after 3-4 games whilst Fofana was on his way, or Faes being negotiated. They have saved on Kaspers and Fofanas wages. The clubs are pissed off that Vestegaard wouldnt move and it was down to his contract. Edited 5 September 2022 by Mok

Is there concrete evidence/a good source saying anything to the effect that we 'cannot afford to sack him'? At the moment purely conjecture. This needs to be flipped i.e. we CANNOT afford NOT to sack him. Edited 5 September 2022 by mozartfox 4

lcfc_forever Posted 5 September 2022 Posted 5 September 2022 Not buying FFP stops us firing BR. What's the worst punishment we get - a heavy fine which is not as bad the costs of going to Championship? That's what I read PSG got. 2

Sampson Posted 5 September 2022 Posted 5 September 2022 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Mok said: Its FFP thats holding us back, not the owners Top’s value has allegedly gone down from £5bn to £1.5bn 2 years and Thailand hasn’t opened up like Europe has for travellers. It’s going to be another couple of years realistically until KP start get back to pre-pandemic incomings, by which point Top’s income will be nowhere near enough to sustain a PL football club. The idea that “it’s FFP that’s holding us back” seems quite naive to me. Of course we’re not privy to all information, but it feels like there’s much more to it than just FFP.

BenTheFox Posted 5 September 2022 Posted 5 September 2022 We know that he won't walk, but at what point does staying here and making things worse become more damaging for him? If we get relegated without putting up any fight then surely potential future employers will see through the 'I wasn't backed' rhetoric. His reputation has taken quite the hit over the past year, despite people still standing up for him.
studentofthegame Posted 5 September 2022 Posted 5 September 2022 Woke up hoping for some good news, instead hit with the knowledge he is somehow still employed by the club, farcical at this point, Top needs to finally grow a pair and show him the door.
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 5 September 2022 Posted 5 September 2022 It’s not an easy decision for the board. As much as it is for us, based on how the KP group have ran us, they have invested in Rodgers for the long run. I honestly believe Top had ideas that Rodgers would be here for 10 years - unthinkable in football terms but you look at the approach. We backed him with the 4th highest salary in the league. The only way he leaves by choice is to one of the truly elite - no one else can afford him. We backed him on transfers. The training ground. The investment off the field. The recruitment team. We’ve done everything for a long term project and Brendan was/is very much a part of that from KPs perspective. Naive ? Absolutely but it does make the inevitable sacking, restructuring, change of direction even harder.
lcfc043 Posted 5 September 2022 Posted 5 September 2022 Top has some serious questions to answer if Rodge is still in charge for Villa game. Do you think he’s doing a good job? Or is the financial situation bad as rumoured?

Something like! But, yes, there will be a way. A loan manager from OHL? Where there's a will, there's a way. I don't fret about that one.

He's on roughly 80k? And we'd have had to subsidise his wages by 30k or so even if he did move, so 50k a week we'd have saved, 2.5m a year? Hardly anything.
BenTheFox Posted 5 September 2022 Posted 5 September 2022 We announced the sackings of Shakespeare, Ranieri and Pearson in the afternoon/evening. Here's hoping.

Yes, but massively naive of Top given Brendan's record, and certainly the situation we are in now has not come out of the blue. I'm sure when he was interviewed Brendan said previous failing were everyone elses fault, and now Top has learnt this the hard way. Got to move on. Cannot continue.
