Wouldn't be the first time that's happened either.... Our our business has yet gone as planned, maybe we expected to have a few out early on?

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 9 July 2022 Share Posted 9 July 2022 Pretty sure he expected money to spend and the board said no..... they're waiting for him to do a Conte and f**k off. Don't think the board trust him after spending a s**t load of cash last year on flops 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is he supposed to say? Attack the board? He did so at Liverpool and Celtic regularly, I do wonder if we're in that territory here soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just they most definitely expected it. The truth is though we need to raise significant finances, I think we need to cash in on Ndidi, Fofana or Maddison I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I don't think it will be this summer but how on earth we fund next summers proper rebuild is going to be a challenge. Not cashing in on a player for best part of 3 years come next summer will have taken its toll, especially losing £90m+ worth if talent in Tielemans and Soyuncu on the cheap. We're on the slide if we aren't careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheppyFox Posted 9 July 2022 Share Posted 9 July 2022 Has Top said no to Brendan and his obsession with a “rebuild”? It’s a squad that’s been inside the top 4 longer than it’s been out of it over 3 seasons, not sure anything onfield needs rebuilding. Tweaking, maybe. Off of the pitch is our issue. FO Brendan and take to your Southampton defenders with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly as many at the club think soumare is decent. Saying we needed two midfielders was a rebellion with Youri, Hamza, and Mendy most likely out the door, before even considering Soumare? I very much doubt that "many" at the club clutched their pearls or stamped their feet when he said that. In any event, I was speaking specifically about his post-match interview today, which has caused a small furor for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l444ry Posted 9 July 2022 Share Posted 9 July 2022 Becoming glaringly obvious that we are suffering from bloating the squad for Europe. Unfortunately the recruits were pretty average and with no European football and the salaries involved we are up the creek without a paddle. Brendan should have kept his gob well and truly shut.

He’s done it to clearly save his ass. As soon as he feels the heat he goes on the self defence and picks holes in his clubs strategy. If he gets sacked and the media will turn on us again as per usual “what do they expect” and “Rodgers is the best they’ve ever had” and the usual shite. I think he’s just put the lifeboat on standby ready to jump into if things go arse over tit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 9 July 2022 Share Posted 9 July 2022 So it’s gone from rebuild to reconnect, what is there to reconnect, blaming Covid on a bang average 21/22 season is bizarre. The thing is though, a rebuild will be needed at some point, whether it does come this summer, next summer or a mixture of both. We have double figures worth of players in the last year of their contracts, of those ten players, you thoroughly expect only two of them will sign new deals in Evans & Vardy. This summer looks a case of needing to sell to buy, if we can’t shift a good majority of those in the last year of their contracts, what the hell are we going to do next summer, if a large chunk of those players end up leaving on a free instead 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because we had only just missed out on the top 4 on the last day, the aim was to keep everyone and improve whilst selling two of your best players would have given you less chance of repeating. In the end we didn’t get near it anyway so In hindsight yeah it would have been much better to have sold them then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
