SafewayFox Posted 20 May 2022 Posted 20 May 2022 It’s quite obvious to me, Rodgers rightly or wrongly seems to have divided fans. He isn’t going anywhere this summer, but we have to all hope that this transfer window works out better than the last one. Some starting 11 players like Youri, Cags are likely to leave - which will see a challenge but also a “refresh” as Rodgers has said. The big question for me, at what stage would his “credit” in the bank of his first two seasons run out?

We as a club are capable of finishing within the top 6, we don't expect it, we aspire to be there every year. Targets are put in place and we strive to attain them, once we attain what we set out to do, we set new targets which pushes us to achieve more. It is how professional sportsmen view the sport they seek to compete in.. I've seen numerous posts stating either directly, or by implication, that our inability to challenge for a top six position this season is a reason for branding the season a failure and/or getting rid of Rodgers. Having top six as an aspiration is fine, but if the other contenders (we know who they are) make best use of their obvious advantage we're unlikely to compete consistently. There are quite a few arguments that could be made for dispensing with the services of Rodgers in the best interests of the future direction of the club. But, in my view, finishing 9th instead of 5th/6th isn't one of them 1

You're can't be proven right in this case because it's about something in the past.

No one can deny it. At the same time we have won the FA Cup, broken records and likely to get eighth this season. Rodgers is learning still, and I’m willing to go with that while we continue to have our best years in history. I will give him that time. Just nice to have consistency rather than changing manager again, there is no need to change at the moment At an alleged 10 million a year wages he shouldn't " still be learning " he should bloody well know the game inside out for that. 1

Mate - you come across as pretty belligerent when it comes to Rodgers. I’m not sure if you are like this in real life, or if it’s just a keyboard thing, but the tunnelled vision, fan boy sycophantic nature of some of your replies is, well, a little odd. I assume most, if not all, on here are Leicester supporters - personally I support the club, players and managers come and go. I’m happy to praise and criticise where it’s due. To blindly and aggressively defend Rodgers at all costs is a fairly unusual stance to take. And of course it’s one that you are well within your rights to do. But you seem to take it very personally when someone has a differing opinion to the one you hold. Anyway, enjoy. Here’s to a the end of this phase and hope for a funner season next year 3

His poor decisions and short comings tactically and his inability to solve/perceive/ understand everyday defensive problems, is the reason to question his suitability. 2

Guest Col city fan Posted 20 May 2022 Posted 20 May 2022 This thread has become very long but I honestly think it’s all academic. I just don’t think the owners will be looking to part with Brendan anytime soon. I think the summer recruitment, this time in particular has got to be very astute. We‘ll likely lose Tielemans and we must replace him with a midfield playmaker. We still don’t have a right winger and we still need to tighten the defence. Rodgers has to get it right this time. No more signings like Vestergaard and Bertrand
LinekersLugs Posted 20 May 2022 Posted 20 May 2022 5th 5th 8th and an Fa cup … eat sleep and repeat take my money now ! Happy to run with this for a long time 1
sacreblueits442 Posted 21 May 2022 Posted 21 May 2022 ...with Marcos Rose now on the market, and him being originally one from the list (Foxestalk) of possible managers, the cost of replacing Rodgers has now pretty much halved!!! It sounds as if we panicked when agreeing to the £10m salary and I hope we stop being so naive in our future dealings. A £5m salary should suffice, and should we chose to offload him (Rodgers), you would think it would be after the game on Sunday or the next day. Failing that, we will have him here for next season. 2 1

Ridiculous comment, if you’re not still learning you quickly become out of touch and get left behind. Things change all the time, and every person in every job in the world regardless of pay should still be learning Pep, Klopp and an other top manager in the world is still learning and still watching others’ losing games and learning from mistakes. To say anyone shouldn’t still be learning is very narrow minded.

Webbo Posted 21 May 2022 Posted 21 May 2022 Apparently giving a manager a wage rise when we'd been in the top 4 all season and he was attracting attention from other clubs was naive? The club should have anticipated an injury crisis 2 years later and sacked him then. The amount of ridiculous bull sh1t in this thread is off the scale. 3
Lambert09 Posted 21 May 2022 Posted 21 May 2022 (edited) i still don’t think my mind has changed but i can also see why some people want to stick with him. He gives you glimpses of hope of what we could be but then it seems to fade away very quickly. The next manager has a higher chance of failure than success i admit that… but so does another season with rodgers Edited 21 May 2022 by Lambert09 2

There's a pay rise and then there's doubling your wages and increasing the contract from 2.5 years to 5.5 years. This pay rise occurred after we'd beaten Arsenal and they then sacked Emery and wanted Rodgers who publicly disclosed he had a release clause in his contract and the club panicked. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and we were the best thing since Tangy Tom's at the time but it was still only about a third of the way through the season, he played a blinder did Brendan. 7

If you’re calling out BS mate, at least give a factual narrative. As Ric said above it was a third into the season, I’ve gone and looked back it was December 6th 2019 so hardly top 4 all season. I’m not even loudly banging the Rodgers out drum anymore as it’s clearly not happening yet but if next season ends the same as this season with repeated mistakes - does Rodgers still have such loyal supporters on here?

I didn't know we'd set a record for turgid football. I think our football seems turgid when other teams are playing turgid fooball. We end up playing against turgidity by turdifying our football by passing side to side looking for gaps just outside the final turd. If records are set towards turgid football, surely Wolves or Newcastle would be setting the records. Both teams bored us into submission.. Granted our submission seemed turded.
