If they aren't going to sack then, I really do worry what it'll take - tells me it'll be something that a new manager might have virtually no chance of recovering. If he's given that run and fails to pick up at the very least 9 points then we're in a position where people above Rodgers should be losing their jobs as well. 4

I have personally wanted Rodgers to not be our manager for about a year or so now. With the exception of Forest away, in that time I never genuinely thought we'd sack him. But then after the start of the season, his comments in the press, & the manner in which we lost at Brighton I felt there was no way he could see another day in the job. Him not getting the boot after Brighton has made me totally give up on the idea that the club will do the right thing before its too late & removed any enthusiasm I have about us at the moment I have, I’ve just lost lost interest at the moment. I’ve been screwed over by the club anyway with my season ticket, so I’m in the camp of not really giving a toss at the moment, and I don’t think I’ve ever been at this stage. For the first time supporting this club I’m genuinely completely disinterested, and it’s down to one chap. And until he has gone I probably won’t find any enthusiasm with the club again. It’s become beyond a slog to watch us this season. 6

I still think the fact he survived Brighton means we're probably down. 1

It's gone off a cliff quicker than I thought it would but I did eventually think we'd get to around here. If we don't do it soon we will be relegated. This isn't bad form. This has been coming a while. He's lost it. Yeah absolutely. Us finishing 8th last year was an absolute joke really wasn't it. If we'd have been in a relegation scrap in the last few games I don't think anyone could've complained. His luck's run out. There's not a lot more to it.

They will have definitely changed the direction of travel, from disruption of the top 6, to capitulation and basic survival, with our points tally it's looking like we eont meet the basic direction of travel survival. Totally depressing thought!

Us finishing 8th last year was remarkable it reflected an efficiency in performances against bottom half sides of course that’s ok if you can maintain it but so far this season, our failure to beat Brentford and soton doesn’t bode well but it’s more than that - last season we looked like we were trying and had a plan of sorts - this season has been laughable in that respect

If you keep playing as badly as we were consistently, it will eventually catch up with you. That has now happened. We haven't passed the eye test for a long time now.

gurru991 Posted 13 September 2022 Posted 13 September 2022 With the go ahead given for stadium development, the club absolutely can not afford to be relegated.. They need to pull the trigger very soon if the new manager is going to have a chance. 1

Well, yes, but sometimes you need to realise you’re in the presence of genius. Seriously. (that was also merely humour - just in case).
Foxxed Posted 13 September 2022 Posted 13 September 2022 On 06/09/2022 at 01:13, Burbagefox89 said: just to add my little bit to the Brendan hate 😂 I can tell you the vast majority of the youth players in and around the under 23’s cannot stand him and don’t have a good word to say about him. Yes he has invited a fair few of them to train with the first team over his time here but they have been treated like training cones when they have and nothing more. No opportunities, pathway or even advice on what certain players need to improve on to be able to stake a claim for an opportunity. The under 23’s are utterly demoralised with him. Yes he integrated Luke Thomas and KDH but both situations he didn’t really have a choice. For a manager who is apparently excellent at bringing through the youth look at the post match comments about Alves from the Watford cup game talk about motivational! And not to focus purely on one player but add to that leuven in the friendly Alves was taken and was the only player not to feature even for a couple of minutes as a moral boost. He was utterly dejected at the final whistle as he was running around the pitch with our fitness guy. Not only is this man killing our first team he is killing the youth teams too. No doubt about it he needs to leave for the good of the club Just saw this. I didn’t think I could dislike him more. But he is and has been strangling this club’s future. 2

It’s the ONLY explanation that makes sense, because the other ones just don’t FACKING add up. They don't now do they ?? We have all come up with what might be seen as reasons he is still here, but they don't really make much sense anymore. Maybe we are all missing something ?

Waiting to see if someone wants to poach him while we line up someone new at least makes financial sense. 1
