So why would you make him captain and select him over someone like KDH. If this is the case then the Manager is much of the problem as the so called players who want out and continue to be selected 

That’s the strange thing. He’s called out Tielemans after the spurs game, clearly not happy today yet he’s named captain for a game against our rivals. Bizarre

Does he need to tell the media? Only one reason you don't keep it in house and that's to preserve his own reputation. If he's that aware of players heads not being in it then don't pick them

Or he's so angry he lost his head

[Vestan Pance]

I'm of the opinion that he saw us as a stepping stone to a bigger job but his plan has so far failed, so we now have a manager that finds himself stuck at Leicester rather than wanting to be at Leicester. I'm not sure where we go from here.

[Free Falling Foxes]

Professionals. Well paid. 1st class facilities. Smashing owners. Recent successes.

......but lost their hunger.

 

[Tielemans63]

He's right but that's half the problem. His strange comments and even stranger tactics are the other half.

 

I can't see this having the effect he's hoping for. I think this will backfire. Ultimately the manager creates the mentality at the club so it's odd to then question the mentality of the players.

 

I'm a fan of Rodgers but this feels like a situation that he's not going to be able to fix.

The end of the chapter comment was very interesting, he did back track on it but I didn't think he meant him actually. I think he wants certain players gone.  He mentions fight and physicality but maybe it's influence on others etc as well.  Something has been off for a while and he is making a very big statement here.  If the "other players" he seemingly wants to keep don't back him then he has lost the dressing room.  Youri is part of the leadership group and he clearly feels let down by him.  I'm really torn. Do I want Brendan to go or is it some of the players causing disruptions? I guess we wanted honesty and passion from Brendan and he certainly is showing some anger and honesty.

This cûnt’s all talk.  Nothing more. It’s all about him and protecting his own ‘brand’. Him and Kolo can **** off.

I think this is likely very close to the truth. His demeanour has changed massively.

Maybe he made him captain as a last chance to prove himself. Youri failed to deliver. And then that was a parting comment?

He becomes the manager of watford

I hope he's not talking about Barnes because he was actually doing alright today? 

Hes dug him out before this season. Not sure they see eye to eye. He said something like he wasn't prepared to do the work in a pre match presser.

[Hammo]

Whoever he is chucking his daggers at, the two obvious conclusions to be drawn from this interview are that:

 

a) there is a rift between him and some (perhaps a lot) of the players

 

b) the arrogant so and so is never going to acknowledge his own failings

 

… and, as I have suggested on here before, maybe a) is a consequence of b).

It's all about what Top thinks, and he was at the game today so must have felt it like we all have

this season he has constantly talked down the club and the squad, how are the players going to be motivated with a manager doing that?

I feel he's coasting too though. He has to lead by example and set a standard.  Start demanding more from people and ruffle some feathers

Oh I completely agree with both of you. Not giving him a free pass. He’s gone. He should be gone in the morning. However, was just making the point that the players are as weak as the one they call gaffer. Genuinely have about 5 players who I’d be disappointed to see go. 

[Tielemans63]

These do seem like the actions of a desperate man

[martyn]

I'd be pretty sure Soyuncu, Tielemans and Barnes are at least 3 of the players he is referring to.

Probably won’t work south of Leicester now with him living in Cheshire.

It’s all guess work. Nobody knows who he’s talking about at this moment in time but I wouldn’t be surprised if Youri was one of them because of his performances this season plus his lack of committing to the club.

I said earlier that he's making me dislike players that I rated highly before. That's not completely fair though as they should have enough personal pride to perform better than they are no matter how incompetent the manager is

[dylanlegend]

His comments are possibly correct but this is not the thing you say in public as a manager.

It lets other clubs know our players are available ( for cut down prices)

Like pep does, feed the media bullshit. The only reasons Rodgers says things like this is to deflect his own shortcomings 

Having players that perform ‘consistently’ in the prem don’t come cheap. Even players like Ronaldo on 500k a week are inconsistent

These comments aren’t in the best interests of Leicester City. They are in the best interest of Brendan Rodgers.

He’s basically a Narcassist, he’s got a portrait of himself in his hallway ffs.

True. But if you find yourself stuck in a job, sometimes it's difficult, but you just have to quit.

We'll always be a seen as a stepping stone for the top players and managers unfortunately, because we don't pay the top wages, we don't have the most desirable city, and we don't have the historical reputation, this is why we are where we are 

[SemperEadem]

Lost a sizeable amount of support today from within the ranks of those that go away from home I think.
