I guess his was less disagreement more just complaining about but still signs of an unhappy camp

[dnewty]

Modern day journalism is so poor. 
They should have asked Rogers today about Vesterguards comments.

[winteriscoming]

The fact he’s spent the longest in his managerial career with us is too worrying to put in words. My hope is we stop up this season and we part ways with him. There are so many better options available now and more will be in the summer.

Complete over reaction to suggest he's lost the dressing room because of that quote - that's just a difference of opinion.

If there is so long still to go, taken at face value, that suggests that he will go conservative on Saturday and set us up with the aim of not losing the game.  Therefore, we will lose 1-0 to a Ward-Prowse free kick.

If I had a nickel for everytime someone told me he has lost the dressing room I'd be a Rich man.

You mean the guy the Mirror referred to as a "star"? What a joke.

If you mean Vestergaard (it's not clear who you're alluding to), despite his lacklustre arrival and 'career' at City, the bloke is still a professional footballer with years of experience at top-level football. He has all the qualifications and justification to allow him to make pertinent comments about how he sees the team is being run. Just because his transfer here was a cock-up doesn't mean he can't give an opinion.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Rodgers delivered some decent success in his first 2 1/2 seasons, however the last season and a half we are on a real downward spiral. His tactics are stale and rigid, we rarely see the exciting front foot, fast flowing football of his early tenure and now it’s a conservative, slow, turgid style of controlled possession based football that is stifling the talents of the majority of our squad.

 

His management of the fringe players is questionable to say the least and his continued freezing out of some players places additional pressure and work load burden on key players leading to burn out and/or drop off in form.  

 

He has been well backed during his time at the club but his comments and sound bites in the media over last 12-18 months have constantly undermined the squad at his disposal and the ambitions and achievements of the club. This has led to a real malaise at the club, gone is our fearless reputation and now we look powder puff and weak mentally.

 

We need a manager with fresh ideas and tactical flexibility, this is still a squad capable of challenging for top ten and making a good fist of the cup competitions but this year it is so flat and the performances are too often lacking intensity. This reminds me of the final knockings of the Puel reign.
 

He failed to inspire any type of performance against what was a decent championship side in Blackburn, who looked everything I want to see from us. He is supposedly an elite manager and yet we could and should have been smashed for 5 or 6 at home to lower league opposition. This isn’t a one off we have been well beaten and performed badly on so many occasions this season and actually we have had 2 half decent purple patches this season, outside of those we have been a shambolic disgrace.

 

Change is needed now whilst we still have a chance to rescue our league campaign and set ourselves up for a positive summer and a new era.

[wurmer]

We shouldn't kid ourselves - he will be here until the end of the season.

 

Whether we are still in the PL at that point looks decidedly uncertain.

I would love that to happen.

 

However if my math is correct, even if we lose and Everton (who have Forest) and Bournemouth (who have the Gunners) both win our goal difference keeps us out of the bottom 3.  If the past shows us anything, even sitting there wasn't enough for Top to pull the trigger.(all be it with still the remainder of the season to go, plus we still have 14 left at present) ..it's still a tough one to call, but I think.he's here until the end of the season regardless of results (unless we start getting battered 4 or 5  nil each game that may change stuff) and where we eventually finish come May.

Surely Top hears the fan’s frustration even when not at the KP I’m sure he’s still watching our performances on TV back in Thailand or wherever he’s doing business, Blackburn game was the catalyst the final straw so if the fans are so frustrated as most are we need to make our feelings known home and away, Top can’t surely ignore the fans input our team has lost leadership it’s as if we’re counting on Maddison to be fit to be the talisman that is the missing cog in the works, Brendan needs a plan B when Madders is injured but his Plan B is the same as plans A,B, & to Z we can’t always count on Madders to be fit or playing so he needs to change his formations our styles to play to the strengths of the players we have that are fit to give the team the confidence to push on & compete to win games ?

 

Brendan for me continues to blame everyone but himself for his failings his post match interviews are embarrassing at times & almost sounding like he’s given up it needs someone to slap him round the face and tell him to pull himself together he’s done it before to make us great he can do it again or is it just too late for that so Time to pull the Plug Top time to bring in someone who has enthusiasm a belief a fight ?

That’s him being an outcast destined to warm the Bench alongside Cags for speaking against Brendans ego !

[foxfanazer]

Well at least the players understand the severity of the situation 

[RonnieTodger]

The “who would we get” argument is absolute bollocks. Craig Shakespeare steered us to safety after it was painfully obvious that Ranieri needed to go. 
 

I just can’t see it happening now.

I'd also agrue everyone knows it a big game, I'd be worried if they need to manager to tell them.

 

Also what he's says is private to the squad and what he says to the media can be two different things.

[Les-TA-Jon]

Obviously we don't know what's going on inside the club, but might Brendan actually be closer to the sack than we realise? 

• Ranieri was sacked on 25 games played, 21 points, 1 point above the relegation zone and 5 wins. Leaving us with 13 games to play
• Tomorrow is the 25th game, and depending on results we could be in a very similar position by Sunday evening, albeit with 7 wins

We probably need 3-4 wins to stay up, leaving a change in management much later than this would be almost pointless, and after the Chelsea game we've got a run of fixtures we should be targeting, and there's the international break around then too.

If Potter gets sacked by Chelsea I think we then be in for him pretty soon.

We can start posting if the page number matches our year of birth!! Yay

everytime i hear or read the words 'a must win' i cant help but feel how stupid that quote is, EVERY GAME is a must win ffs.

[Corky]

Doesn't matter if it is must win or not, we need to get away from the bottom three as quickly as possible. So long to go doesn't matter, you get into a bad run again and there won't be a gap.
