He is gone tomorrow 100%

I’ll believe it when I see the corner flag tweet

Why is it that these media chums can never see the reverse of a situation….. Rodgers is the manager, the team are going beyond badly, how is it anyone else’s fault?

 

Most of us say the warning sides as soon as he mentioned this ‘refresh’, he was getting his excuses in early as he knew full well this season was going to go tits up. And it has nothing to do with signings, it’s completely to do with his shoddy attitude. He has spat his dummy out, and has compromised the club to save his face. How anyone can’t see this is ridiculous. The man is a disgrace, forget his triumphs here, he has tarnished his reputation thanks to his attitude, he will leave the club disgraced, and I wish him good riddance, and hope his football career comes to an abrupt end, the arrogant, self absorbed little man.

who in the blue hell is this dominic guy?

[Tanya]

I just watched the match.

 

This team is at real risk of relegation.

 

Surely he is gone but I said that last match too.

That what the ITK predicted 2 weeks ago

Exactly. We were told he was going last time too.

 

If the club doesnt fire him, blame should move to the board, Top.

[Corky]

Why do these pundits think that if you want a manager to go it disregards and takes away what they've done before?

 

I'll always be grateful for the FA Cup but the world carries on.

[Koke]

He wants to be fired. I think he's tired of being here abd just wants his payout abd move on. The idiots in the media will continue to defend him saying be hasn't been backed, but will fail to mention he's spent over £200m in 3 seasons, and his main 11 are mostly the 11 Puel played.

I don't think it was anywhere near this bad under Puel. 

I think the Newport FA Cup R3 defeat for all the nation to see killed it for Puel and the team never really recovered from that until, ironically Rodgers came along! Also Puel's dropping Vardy a month or so later was the final nail in the coffin, as well as the five match losing streak in the Prem. of course : but as you say, he did bring stability after the Ranieri 'mark two' and the shaky Shakespeare period! - while his legacy (re his signings) stood us in good stead for the following two seasons. However this predicament we're now in (taking the lead, playing well for a time to match/better the opposition but then capitulating to lose heavily for two games on the bounce), really is worse though by far - and is only likely to end one way. This is the worst top flight start since we lost 7 in a row in 1983/84 under Gordon Milne but under him we then recovered to finish 15th and had players in their prime like Lineker, Alan Smith and Lynex of course as well as solid defenders like Bob Hazell - and mostly Wallington in goal. Can you see us finishing 15th as we did in 1984 in the top flight? At this point I can't! 

[Chrysalis]

We could replace our entire back line and nothing would change, the goals conceded is a coaching issue for me.

 

I think if Rodgers survives the season we on track to set a new goals conceded record.  Crazy how much we conceding.

[Koke]

Honestly,  Conte was playing pure anti football today. We'd beaten them if we had a competent coach who could organise a defence. 

[Rusko187]

Did anyone else feel abit for our set piece coach? Poor bugger got caught by Sky and we go on to concede our first 2 goals by set pieces!

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Right OK so the consensus is that he's actually gone? 

 

From the ITKs any idea on who is earmarked to replace him?

Would Amorim leave Sporting, in the CL, for us? 

More likely if we didnt wait this many games.

 

The longer we leave it, the less desirable the job.

This is exactly it, Rodgers has played his cards brilliantly, he’s got the club over a barrel to the extent that it’s a genuine financial wrench to sack him for gross underperformance. Top has to accept this, we’ve been played.

Top gave him the contract he has to pay the due fees to sack him, just stick him on gardening leave and its done.

[An Sionnach]

He will be out the door like a shot when Top pays up - in full.

So true

[ConnFoxUS]

It’s like Groundhog Day with this guy. Same result. Week after week. We all swear he’s surely gone now, only to see the club trot him back out, each week, and the process repeats. 
 

At this point, I’d accept Ted Lasso.  Not Jesse Marsch, but actual Ted Lasso. Jason Sudeikis playing his role of Ted Lasso, but actually coaching LCFC. It certainly wouldn’t be any worse than the comedy we’re all currently watching week after week.

We are now in the peak of the ‘he must be gone’ cycle, followed by tomorrow’s ‘it’s x o’clock and he’s not gone’ torture, with Monday hope slipping away and the day after becoming known as ‘**** me the **** is going to be in charge for Forest’ day

[coolhandfox]

A team that has conceded 14 goals in 6 games and his still got the CB up on the halfway line, isolated with fullbacks pushing on.

 

One pass and team are one and one with the last defender.

 

Suicidal football, the lack of structure and shape is amateur hour.

We don't have to pay him off. As the poster above says, just relieve him.of his duties on full pay.

 

Then when another job gets offered to him and he fancies it, surely inside 12 months, we release him (or even demand compensation!)

There's a danger here of Top being asleep at the wheel. He has to do the right thing, there are no excuses now and there's no time to waste. We are in a desperate position and I'm surprised the decision to fire Brendan has not been made already. 

Top and he shallow purse is also part of the problem. Doesn’t seem too keen to spend money when needed. Whether it’s money for players or payouts for Rogers, wake up Top.

First on MOTD, they know its coming.
