Even with half our squad out injured we're still better. They're at least three seasons of the best recruitment in footballing history behind us, no matter how much money they've got to spend. If Rodgers went there, he'd be sacked before they reach our level. And if he’s sacked he’d be a rich man for it. Within 3 years they’ll be competing at the top end of the League, just like Man City were after their take over. These middle eastern owners dont mess around, for them money is no object as they want to out compete one another. Even if Rodgers doesnt go to Newcastle they will be one of the best clubs in the country within 5 yesrs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can have Rodgers and coaches for £50m Fofana £120m Maddison £50m Tielemans £80m Ndidi £100m Ricardo £50m Soyuncu £50m What about Perez £1.50p. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tommy G Posted 13 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 13 October 2021 I think it’s quite easy to point fingers at Susan Whelan - she is the issue bla bla bla. Unless you have operated from a C suite position I think you can’t really comment - you are paid to make tough decisions and run the business with the rest of the board to appease shareholders. If she isn’t very “nice” then so what? Clearly successful with the on and off the field success we have all enjoyed for a while now. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather Rodgers is happy at the club, he likes it here, is on good money and gets on with Top, to chuck that I'm to go Newcastle could go tits up in so many ways, he could be in and them out of a job in a season of he goes. Rodgers is good at spotting a good position to walk into and the right time to do it. He was smart enough to see the ability in our squad, when he probably could have got a more glamorous post if he’d waited a tad longer. IF Newcastle have silly money to spend, then he’s be better on waiting for phase two of the project when their owners have proven they can run a club, or learnt the ropes. Have improved the team and are on their way past the mercenary stage of filing their squad with people whose careers are on the slide. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sharpe's Fox Posted 13 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 13 October 2021 Posters saying Rodgers is waiting for Phase 2 of the project are spot on. No one wants to be Mark Hughes, he wants to be Mancini. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were an established, top half Premier League club at the time, with a very decent squad. And it still took them a number of years before they could compete at the top of the table. Newcastle on the other hand, need to assemble a squad capable of establishing themselves in the mid table first, that will be the project for their next manager.

Jakemoore Posted 13 October 2021 Share Posted 13 October 2021 (edited) If they want to pay £16m in compensation then more fool them (that’s not to say I don’t rate BR but no manager is worth that) If they do then I fear he’ll walk. I really hope that he is truly happy at City. I think we all love him and appreciate what he’s done for us - despite his flaws. I think those of us with half a brain realise that we won’t do any better than BR and he can and already has brought us success. Sadly we do live in a world where a country can buy a failing football club and then poach a manager from one of the best run football clubs in the world. It is what it is. We can’t compete with a $300billion fund. If he leaves us for Newcastle and we end up getting someone in who won’t improve us (which is a given based on my earlier point) I’m not sure I’ll want to continue with following the foxes. I love my club and I’m proud to support them. But what’s the point if our success is cut short by the rich clubs. We’ve over performed in a world full of bigger fish for years but this may be one battle we can’t win. Edited 13 October 2021 by Jakemoore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_horns Posted 13 October 2021 Share Posted 13 October 2021 I wouldn’t rush to go there now but money talks eh ?

Yep, I can’t see any player be it a wonder kid or a name in his prime going just yet. What I can see is a Big Sam Bolton style collection of players that are names in their own right but at their twilight years looking for that final big payday whilst hiding under the guise of it’s a really interesting project etc etc and the owners would see it as a win by getting their names to then try and attract players in their prime but it’s going to take some time. Unfortunately for them there aren’t many players with Jay Jay’s, Djorkaeff, Hierro & Campo’s ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really true Man City filled themselves up with journeymen for the first couple of seasons. The likes of Roque Santa Cruz and many others. They took quite a long time to move through the phases of their development and were no bigger than Newcastle are now. In fact, they had a smaller ground and fanbase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
