Brendan Rodgers

[hejammy]

All the facts point to a pre agreement at Manure. Players have got wind and are not happy. His family have already moved up there. Rangnick on a contract till end of season. He left Celtlc mid season yes but I believe he didn't want to do that and he got a lot of stick doing so. Maybe Manure agreed to end of season so he was happy with that. Although now it would be hilarious if they pulled that contract from him and he got sacked here. Honestly I don't think anyone here really knows what's happening. All hearsay.

Fair point, maybe a whistleblower, but these lads are probably NDA’ed up before settlements  are agreed. I can see that circumstantially he looks culpable, this scenario has followed him, it’s just not quite enough for me.

 

Did  Dave Rennie not reveal anything?

I don't even know myself what happened with Rennie, seems to be very conflicting rumours but Rodgers has been allowed to then bring in a club doctor and not go down the head physio route again and a few other changes to personnel. Tha kfully we are making further changes that may have been enforced by the club?

Do you not accept at all that Rodgers is at least partly responsible for the injury problems? Just saying that we'll be good when the players are fit - that isn't going to happen with his management. So he stays forever because of this shielding hypothetical you've given him?

He stays because our record since he’s been here has been good in terms of league finishes, winning a major honour and overall win percentage. there have been poor runs of form in that time, but stepping back and looking at his overall contribution it is very difficult to make a compelling case for him to be sacked. 
 

If injuries continue next season and we can’t move forward then we might have to look elsewhere. 

 

Im pretty sure our owners will see sense and make that call as well. In my opinion he has the backing of the board and the players and it is only the more unrealistic elements of our fan base that have turned on him.

The interview on The Athletic, so Rob, implied that Rodgers had learned from his transfer mistakes and further strictures might be on him in the market, specifically returning to the clubs model, and if this type of thing can be imposed by the club, along with medical changes, then I would certainly feel more confident.

Pochettino is almost certainly the main target for United. If Rodgers is perceived to be failing here, the Utd. fans would never accept him. He is also highly tainted by his Liverpool connection.. There are no managers and very few players who have been at both. Michael Owen is still considered a traitor.

I'd feel a bit more confident too but I can't for one minute think this ends well with Rodgers. Do we really think he'll not see that as a questioning of his capabilities by the club? This happened at Liverpool and rhe writing was on the wall. There's also rumours that's backed up by @Muzzy_Larsson that even at Celtic the transfers and other elements were taken off him and he reacted very badly, which you could understand.

 

Whether we want him away from certain aspects of the way the club is run or not, if he's been the one with a huge final say then to say to him that's now taken away from him is not the environment of a happy and prosperous relationship, certainly not with a character who is unflinching in his own belief and self worth.

He's not joining Man U and his family moving up there is nothing to do with that. That source is as good as the journalist everyone rates no 1 for LCFC news

Sigh, ok, one-way discussion are so insightful.

 

What kind of discussion is asking for a ridiculous burden of proof because you know nobody can provide it, and completely ignoring 10 plus years of real world evidence?

 

I only even went as far as saying that he is at least partly responsible. If you can't accept that well yeah I don't feel bad about saying we have nothing to discuss.

Fair enough, historical trends do agree with you and it cannot be ruled out obviously, and yes it is unrealistic of me to expect a whistleblower to out his managerial misdemeanours  (but it sure would be handy!)

Definitely not going there… and if he is, they’ll be asking for their money back

Back in October we had Evans, Soyuncu, Amartey, Castagne, Ricardo and Thomas all fit and the defending didn't improve. We still averaged around 2 goals conceded again, set pieces and absolute mess and general chaos. I'm wondering how much of it is purely a defensive issue from the defenders themselves or the way the team is out of sync with one another, someone more sophisticated than me can probably find some stats that back this up. Ndidi is having a poor season as a DCM as well won't have helped and our pressing from the front is way off previous years.

You're wrong there. Only because Rodgers is desperately trying to play him in a Kante type box to box role and not as a defensive midfielder 

 

In all seriousness Wilf has been poor anyway but the attempt to not only play him in a role he's not suited to, but to also take him away from one where he's as good as anyone in world football is crazy. Crazy, and sadly classic Brendan, wanting to create some kind of tactical genius for no reason than to stroke his own ego.

I wouldn't have no without believing them. They've given information to me which has turned out to be true before. 

 

At the end of the day I'm a fan of the club, said it before I'll say it again. Anything I get that I believe is more than credible I'll post. 

I’m still hoping it’ll be announced tomorrow 😅

Appreciate any updates that you do share with us Ashley, I would never criticise if that information doesn't happen.

 

I suspect though that something is going on, perhaps he's been given a set number of games to turn it around or lose his job.

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

@Ashley is normally spot on with his info. Pretty sure something went down this morning.

[whetstonefox]

I’m still conflicted, part of me wants to give him a chance to turn it around , part of me is annoyed by his arrogance, part of me recognises that we have seen some great football and won the FA Cup plus 2 5th places , part of me is annoyed those 5th places weren’t 4th placed finishes, part of me is worried that we change and get someone who well and truly takes us backwards, part of me thinks has he run out of ideas to move us forward again and signs more dross on the summer. I just don’t know.

Heard he's been sacked so let's see. 

 

Took his kid out the school they were at but believe that's more due to him getting a new house in Salford.

 

Second text came later saying he'd been sacked... 

New Manager at Salford City? 
 

Should make the next series of Class of 92 more interesting. 

[dannythefox]

I see he’s still here and people are talking rubbish. Can’t wait for him to sort the squad out and prove 60% of fans wrong next season.

He won’t be here next season after we get binned by Randers.

Any idea how you star these messages to bring up when he’s sacked in October after being in the bottom 3?

Give over with everyone back fit and fresh faces we’ll be fine, some really deluded fans on here who think it’s our right to finish in the top 6 every season if only it were that simple.

Won't be his fault, it'll be the constant injuries, with that one key player back we'd have been challenging for 4th.
