Rodgers In/Out

[North Leeds Fox]

Mostly been happy for him to see it through to the end of the season but the manner of the defeats have been the worry for me. Still hasn't sorted out our defending despite months of mediocrity and now chucking all the players under the bus.

 

Going to cost a hell of a lot, but going to cost us a lot more on players losing value if we have another 3 months like the rest of the season.

The KP is going to be properly toxic on Sunday after we've been hammered at Liverpool and are 2 down after 20 minutes against West Ham.

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. 

That is possible looking at the games this month 

[Scotch]

If we have a replacement in mind to carry the squad forward then now is the time to give him time to assess the squad and make arrangements for the summer, similar to what Rodgers got. Then I would do it. 

 

If the plan would be to get an interim manager and kick the problem down the road to the summer and make the decision then, then we would be as well to keep Rodgers. The season is gone anyway and no matter what we do at this point is going to relegate or get us into those European positions.

Antonio and Bowen will have a field day. Trust Mark Noble to come on stick the knife in

[Dahnsouff]

Too soon after a painful shaming by our rival to comment sensibily, but I have ZERO problem with people being thrown under the bus IF they deserve calling out.

It is getting closer and closer however, but trying to remain pragmatic before pushing the button (As my vote will clearly get him the sack instantly ).

[little Brian]

Clubman Martin O’Neil in till may , Rogers out ! 

[woznotwos]

It's looking like patience has worn beyond thin now. A lot of people who have stuck with him have now turned including myself.  

[Haywood_6]

It's an easy decision for me now. I've had enough.

 

The team is lacking unity, leadership, organisation, and the blame lies with Rodgers. We need a new approach.

 

Sack him

[NasPb]

Ideally do a nuno with him like wolves and agree to separate at the end of the year, but it could get to the point where we're in a relegation battle, and I'm not joking. Rodgers has brought this upon himself 

[Blanchflower78]

People saying "but who could do a better job"... sometimes a different approach, set up, voice, etc produces better. Managers have shelf lives at clubs and I would imagine BR comments about a summer refresh is his way of acknowledging his is close. A refresh allows him to install a new crop under his terms and a sense he's regaining control of a group hes clearly losing. So the wider question probably is will he survive until he gets the chance, or will Top see more merit in holding the group together largely but with another head coach in charge.

[MS0204]

For me it’s now finish wherever in the league and focus is all on the Europa, although there are some big boys in there also.. getting rid of BR now wouldn’t necessarily solve anything unless it’s proven he’s lost the team in the changing room. Unpopular opinion but see the season out and then look for new leadership then. But then again I wouldn’t be fussed if he did go today.. 

[turlo]

I'm now out but don't think it will happen until the end of the season. I don't think its all this fault but ultimately he's the man in charge and time for a change. 

The worrying thing is both Rodgers and Congerton could be planning the big summer rebuild over the next few months and then be off in the summer. 

[BenTheFox]

It reminds me a lot of Everton towards the end of Roberto Martinez.

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. 

 

 

 

This. As bad as it sounds I didn't go yesterday. I had a ticket but I passed it on to my mate who was desperate to go. I'm so done with football at all levels currently - the fans at aways are awful, drug taking is rife, the violence in the town centre, chants about ridiculous things, one of our fans actually punching a player. It was all so inevitable and I'm about done with it.

 

That's before I even get on to sky sports, talksport, the media hype and then the actual football.

[Guest Lako42]

Next home game against the team that he has completely failed to get to grips with since he arrived here. 

 

 

Moyes has consistently outthought him in every encounter. 

 

 

When the same happens on Sunday he'll know about it and so will his players.

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.

Exactly. 

[Dan]

Out. This is heading one way.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

If someone suitable can be brought in now, I don't see why keeping Rodgers on would be viable - give someone new some time to assess the squad, and sell/buy at the start of the summer window. Got a lot of respect for Rodgers up to this season, but I think it's evident a fair share of the squad don't see eye-to-eye with him and I can't see how he can turn this around. Yesterday was a total embarrassment

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I can see the logic for in and out. But it’s very hard to come back from this. It’s quickly spiralling out of control. He seemed to reverse the cycle reasonably well a few months ago, but here we are again. It doesn’t go away, and throwing the players under the bus - righty or wrongly - points to the need for change.

 

Three years in modern football is a common life cycle. We need new ideas - OUT.

[BenTheFox]

A lot of people tend to look at situations like this based on what has happened in the past rather than the trajectory. Make no bones about it, we are in decline.

Don't say that...we'll end up appointing him 

[l444ry]

Out. Sunday is the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

[Happy Fox]

A caretaker till the end of the season, honestly I think that would make sense then get our new man in the summer

[Voll Blau]

It's really fvcking awful that for the second time we're going to have to let go on bad terms a manger who returned us glory the previous season. What is it about us as a club/setup that makes us so bad at defending titles?

 

I'm not one to overreact but no Leicester manager should survive what happened yesterday.
