Brendan Rodgers

[Jakemoore]

As I’ve said and many have before me - this will be dragged out for as long as humanely possible because top cannot afford to pay the compensation package required to sack the joker. There will be a point when Top will finally see that we have no other option but to sack him even if that means spending money. I don’t think that point will have been reached yet in the minds of those who matter. Sadly.

**** him, it needs to be personal, he’s making it personal. He’s taking the club down whilst pocketing millions, blaming fans, blaming players, the lot. 
 

I hope someone chins him on the pitch if he leads us out for a game again. 

My perspective…

 

”top” managers don’t want relegation, the most goals conceded by x date etc On their CV. I highly doubt he is taking us down willingly, though of course we are shit right now.

 

pocketing millions? Blame the board for sanctioning huge wages and buy out clauses, Rodgers has absolutely every right whether we like it or not to stick around. So stop blaming him for pocketing millions.

 

yes the way he has come across in Interviews is galling, but in the heat of the moment when a microphone is thrust in front of us, we sOmetimes say the wrong or stupid things. This doesn’t merit support from us, but I don’t take it as overly offensive as many people n here.

 

The last sentence with all respects just makes you look a T***, violence should never be merited, particularly over a dislike for an individual.

I don’t blame him, but I’m saying that’s why it’s getting personal. 
 

Again, I hope someone Cameron Toners him, he’s a cretin and is taking this football club to the pits.

It isn’t unanimously against the manager. were you at the game yesterday by any chance?
 

I’d say about 10% were actively joining in with anti-Rodgers chanting. 
 

it’s astonishing. 

No I wasn't there, unfortunately I'm about 1 hour 45 mins away and my weekends are too mixed to commit to a season ticket. And honestly even if I could get a ticket frankly I refuse to at this point, the manager, most of the players etc don't deserve it. 
I am trying to enjoy my time so i'm keeping ontop of the club news from afar but avoiding watching us, Yesterday evening went out for a lovely meal and I just know I had a better time than LCFC fans 

That really does surprise me that so few were on his back, it feels really toxic at present amongst all my LCFC friends on socials and on here, latest poll was 95% sack, although like anything on social media when you're behind a keyboard it's much easier to be negative than when you're surrounded by others in public. I wonder whether the board/ownership take note of social media? is it possible they don't follow any of that or have people tracking it therefore only see a tiny minority of angry fans on match day?

Tuesday i reckon he's gone, the Thai owners are hugely respectful people who wouldn't want this to coincide with the Queen's funeral. 

He's probably already been told but it won't be announced untill Tuesday. I have no source for this ( apart from being mildly related to KDH ) tiz just my own musings ..

but how are we not already past that point? we’ve just been clobbered by 2 clubs in a row and taken 1 point from 7. as well as drawing with league 2 opposition. 

 

There’s nothing that can be seen that could make anyone think brendan could turn this around… absolutely nothing. So each and every game is just digging our grave a little bit deeper. Not to mention that there comes a point where we are too far gone for potential replacements to consider us. 

 

We have a 5 game run of winnable games, a new manager could pull us to safety in no time… brendan will be donating points and what’s worse is that it will be to the teams that we can potentially catch. 

 

for the first time in a long time, I feel completely hopeless. Watching our club make all the wrong decisions and there being nothing we can do about it, common sense simply not being followed.

 

I thought we were better than that, I always wanted to believe the club know best, that there’s other factors we don’t know about but if it’s genuinely anything to do with money… then we are screwed. we spent more than it would cost to sack him on players that don’t contribute anything to our points tally and are looking to pay for a new stadium… personally for me and most likely everyone… safety is far more important than a new stadium because we’re not closing the gap on anyone if we are sat in the championship having just lost all our players to the teams we wanted to close the gap on and some new ones

Very well said.

Get in the bin. Unless this is a joke

Whilst I agree, I heard on the commentary last night that Brendan’s only had a £3million net spend since he’s been here??

 

And Top says we have no money. I smell a rat.

[Claudio Fannieri]

There is no late afternoon/evening fixture tonight, I think the announcement will be made sometime after 4pm today

They’re not going to sack him. You just know it. 

[Nod.E]

People will cite times which, on paper, were of course much worse states of affairs we have been in as a football club.

 

However I'm struggling to remember a time that the reality has fallen quite this far short of expectation levels. 

 

Thoroughly depressing football club to follow at the moment.

It's not finances that are the cause of this. Top has always been a huge fan boy of Brendan's. He will get the Forest game and the atmosphere will be so vile that the inevitable embarrassing loss to a Jesse Lingard masterclass will finally mean he's relieved of his duties and yet it will have been a huge waste of precious time and games. His severance pay will be the same whether it was last season, this summer, several weeks ago, today or in 2 weeks but make no mistake he is going. Its infuriating.

 

Act now Top, we need points quickly.

This is it people say just sack him but it’s not then shelling out the cash, could be all sorts of clauses in it. Personally I trust the owners.

My patience is wearing thin with them. Rodgers needs to go before Forest or the trust is going to have to be built again. 

[ramaiya2]

Why wait till 4pm. They could have done this morning.I think we will be stuck with him, The board will give him a chance to beat Forest, Bournemouth, Palace, Leeds and Wolves.

 

If get 9 points from 15  think he will carry on

9 points ? We won't get another point as long as he stays.

[Pliskin]

Unfortunately the only way to force the owners to take action will be to demonstrate. We should not be accepting this. I would happily sing him out the door if it comes to it. 

[Nugent]

They’re not going to sack him are they! I’m in disbelief. I’d happily get pumped by Forest if it means Top finally pulls the trigger. Just get him gone ffs.

[Mje]

I am

in disbelief too, the only thing i can ‘get’ is if they are delaying until Tuesday. If he is still in charge end of play tuesday then trust in the whole regime will just feel completely lost. 

[Matt]

All this 'they're gonna give him one more game' bollocks, I don't want us to win another game under him because that inevitably buys him more time.

 

It's a horrible place to be but that's where I am.

 

Get him gone.

won't be winning another game under him so we're safe there 

[Silebyfox_89]

Come on Top sort it out!

 

Get the caretaker to put some Charlie in brendons bottom draw and sack him for gross misconduct.

 

Save yourself 30m 

[goody2028]

I’m convinced he’ll still be here for the Forest game
