Rodgers In/Out

[The Year Of The Fox]

Now the dust has settled (a bit)

[Unabomber]

Out for the first time

I'm just incredibly tired of the lack of accountability on his part.

 

He's - with a straight face - sat in the newly built press briefing room of a £100m training facility and said that there's no investment at the club. He's done this after refusing to spend money under the auspices of liking a small squad and then capitulated owing to injury.

 

He just seems like a snake oil salesman to me. It's everyone else's problem.

[foxfanazer]

A few weeks ago I was out but happy for him to carry on until the end of the season but I think it's completely untenable now. The guy takes no responsibility so how can we expect the players to?

[Foxdiamond]

I am worried by our decline but for financial reasons plus not wanting to press panic button surely we should see this season out then review

This season is done.

 

I'd rather give a new manager time to assess the squad, and see who they do/don't like, and what needs to be improved.

 

The financial issue is a worry though.

I still think we should see the season out and hope someone miraculously wants to take him  

[teblin]

I’m still in, but close to changing my mind.

 

I hate the not playing for manager thing but it’s happens.

[RowlattsFox]

Only way we get rid now is if we know someone we want wants it. 

[Winsum]

Rumour is that it will take £20 million plus to pay him off. The season is over might as well pay him until

the end of the season and then review . As far as I am concerned he presided over one of the biggest

embarrassments I have seen at the club in a very long while.His position is now untenable

[Foxes96]

The problem is we need a rebuild in the summer whatever the case, but for the meantime Rodgers/ whoever are stuck with the likes of Youri and Söyüncü until we can sell them in the summer, even if they don’t want to be here.
 

Can see the season petering out now, so not sure whether it’s worth spending a chunk to get rid of Rodgers now? And not sure who we could get in to replace him at this point in the season? 

[foxes_rule1978]

 I think after what Rodgers has been saying of late I want to see if he can still get a response from the players. Maybe give him February and see how the players react. 

[goose2010]

can there not be an option with Meh not that bothered? Maybe it's just be falling out of love for the game and Leicester as a whole.

 

But say we get a new manager in.

 

They do really well and we put some results together.

Before we know it they are linked with a bigger club that us, we then start getting angry that they might leave as there is no loyalty, we lose a game and it will be "there head has been turned" 

 

We get a manger in and the bad form continues.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE! We should never have sacked Brendon! 

 

I dunno maybe as i said its just me. The players on and off the pitch are a bit embarrassing, the fans aren't exactly paint themselves in a good light at the minute. The club re tickets and just general BS they seem to be doing doesn't help either. 

 

We are sleepwalking into a decline as a club and fan base and i'm not sure what we need to do to be honest. 

 

 

 

[Saxondale]

I’m on the fence now for the first time.

 

I’m still don’t think it’s clear cut. Obviously we’ve all written this season off. The harsh reality of football is that come the new season, the previous season counts for almost nothing. 
 

The problem with demanding a fresh start with a new manager and heavily revamped squad is that you’re effectively starting from nothing. In other words, if you want to finish fourth, you’re betting that your new squad is better than 16 others - all of whom are also trying to improve. 
 

The current regime and playing squad has proven itself capable of strong results. Obviously they’re not performing at the same standard now but, rationally, backing the current core to reestablish itself is probably a safer bet than starting again.

[Switzfox]

Voted in, but only cos I'm not certain we could get Potter.  If we could then I'd probably vote out.

[Stadt]

I've wanted him out for a while. How does he improve us after continually taking us through capitulation after capitulation? If he all he ever does is attribute blame to anybody but himself, who'd want to player under somebody like that?

 

 

I thought he'd dialled down the Brent stuff, it's just more insidious than ever.

[RowlattsFox]

I posted similar yesterday but the next month will decide his future. Tough league games and European ties. 

[Happy Fox]

These players can do better our league position and cup exits we are performing collectively I would say at 60-70 percent.

 

Either Rodgers has been training them too hard or not enough. This result / results are on the manager. Yes the players do share the blame as well. But the manager leads the team and we are being led by someone not up to the job 

[eblair]

out pushed me over the edge yesterday, ive loved teams that have not been great (i.e. all of NP's team)

 

i've started hating the team and think that is Brendan's fault

the same bloke that has 18 winless matches in the last 27 games? our fans wouldn't cope with that the boo's would be out by Christmas. 

[StanSP]

It hurts to say as I've backed him to turn things round and get us out of this rut, but for the first time I vote him out. Maybe naive of me so far and a bit of blind faith and perhaps just late in seeing things how they are. 

 

But yesterday was the perfect opportunity to show some fight, determination, grit and hunger. Some basic traits, against a local rival no less, to show everyone you still have it within you and to pass on to the players that specific fire in your belly. 

 

With how the players played, there seemed to be a sheer lack of the above. A lack of desire. A lack of a want to win. Yes there were silly mistakes but there's always an opportunity to want to do well and win. Anyone can take losing (eventually) as long as fans can see everyone did their utmost to win. But to lose so embarrassingly and sloppily, lazily. It was shameful. Yesterday for me showed he's lost some of the dressing room, and for a manager of a football team it's incredibly difficult to come back from that. If he can get that message to fight til the end and not give up when we concede, or get the basics right as a professional footballer, then it's heading towards game over. 

 

I've lost some of the faith I had in him. With that said, if he ends up somehow turning it around in the league and we were to get far in Europe (or even win it of course), then he'll win that back. I don't see it happening now though. I am of course happy to be proved wrong... 

 

I'm fully aware there'll be plenty saying 'I told you so'. Good on you. 

[HybridFox]

Was firmly in and desperate for him to turn things around. But I really wouldn't feel anything if he was booted today. Lost it after yesterday.

[Torten]

I was out after the game. But it seems like, for better or worse, he has thrown the players under the bus. Now, I strongly doubt that will have any positive effect and I fully expect us to carry on playing shit. Last chance saloon for me, if we get dicked by Liverpool and don't show anything against WHU, just get rid. 

[Leicester_Loyal]

I’m amazed people still voted in tbh. 
 

He’ll be here until the end of the season then be let go in the summer, said it for ages. Only way this changes is if we go on a ridiculously poor form, failing to win like 5 or 6 in a row.
