If he stays for the next two games and will fail to pick up 3pts, then we are as good as gone. We cannot fail against Villa.  The PC today will be very interesting.   Wait for the ‘I am here until I am told otherwise’ comment.  I reckon Ric Flair will get two barrels as will FT.

3 points is needed against Villa because we aren't getting anything from Spurs.

He will get this weekend + the Spurs game. Sacked after losing 5-1 to Spurs. Sacked before the international break. At least we hope....

5-1?..

So you're expecting us to improve quite a bit then?

Balls, I forgot Spurs was so close. Kane will probably score 9 goals himself. That could be a very dangerous game, he needs to be gone by spurs because that’s one team that absolutely loves to rip us apart. Could be a season defining defeat if we’re not careful, I’m talking beyond Southampton bad.

Brighton confirm Potter won’t be taking today press conference.

 

Hopefully we announce the same thing regarding Rodgers and ours.

 

If not the media have got to ask seriously hard questions on him and jump on any daft or stupid answer he gives.

Potter is off to Chelsea so has more pressing issues to sort.

Exactly.

Interesting that the normal radio Leicester bloke won’t be there after the programme they put out on Monday night 😂 

 

Something tells me they thought Rodgers was a goner!

I just want to go into the Forest game with A a chance to win and B a fired up positive crowd.

Hi folks, anybody know what time the Press Conference is?  Take it that it’s on SSN?

Unfortunately I still think he survives until they turn us over. 

 

Then the KP is gonna really turn nasty. Think a defeat to them under the lights on a Monday night and Top will be shocked at how vile the abuse levels aimed at the manager will be.

Liverpool at home was extremely positive in the first game after Claudio's sacking.

They aren't gonna announce he's gone on a Thursday, far to late in the week now.

If we still have him by then I will be gutted. 

A game I have waited years for will see a flat atmosphere because of him still being here.

Not just a flat atmosphere. We’ll lose because they will fight hard and we will roll over like docile puppies.

Yep, he's here until at least after the Villa game. 

 

I genuinely don't know what else he has to do in order to get the sack at this stage.

Punch Top or any other board member or something worse perhaps? Wishful thinking I know. 🤣

No dreams about BR last night..thank God 

[NasPb]

Just wish some bloody journalists would absolutely grill him like they tried to with nigel. Bloody soft skinned fools, they don't have cojones to do it

It's a more than interesting comparison that Chelsea can act swiftly to remove Tuchel when there's merely a hint that results and manager-player relations are going south.

We know that, had our executive acted as swiftly as Chelsea's, that the slow grind of watching Rodgers gradually alienate players and fans would have been over by now. The abysmal recruitment of summer '21-'22 should also have meant a quick culling of all those who had failed to act to reinforce the defence prior to Fofana's injury.

We all know that a figure such as Potter or Frank would have radically improved City's standing.

But no one acted.

We are where we are because Rodgers cannot accept his limitations; that the decision makers didn't make decisions when they were crying out to be made.

This is where ego leads. People set out to impress each other, rather than to expose any weaknesses. Rodgers gets himself a massive 'package' and the board congratulate each other that they've caught a 'name'....from a backwater league.

Instead of doing the businesslike thing of stating he prove himself before entering into a long-term, highly paid contract they splurge the largesse.

I believe in giving managers time to establish themselves. It used to be the norm. But the selection process has to be keen and patience only shown at the beginning. There's no room for patience now. City keep missing the boat. Before any other vanity project the team must be repaired. A 40k stadium needs motivated fans to fill it. A £100m training ground needs committed players.

The KP hasn't been nasty for a long time. I doubt it will be after this. The vast majority of match day fans have been happy to indulge in whatever has been served up for the past 10 years and will continue to do so.

Yeah I agree, the talk of it becoming totally toxic I think are far-fetched.

Imagine if he just went full narcissist and went off on a rant about the club, the fans, the players and then said “Big Brendy doesn’t deserve this, Big Brendy shouldn’t be questioned by mere mortals, **** this I’m off, screw you Midland bastards”.

 

Mic drop. Resignation in.
