Yes about as boring as his style of football.. He needs to be going before it gets worse.

 

Give the man a punchers chance. 

 

I'm a big critic but he's set the narrative of a rebuild so, as supporters, we allow that. 

 

Both O'Neill and Little needed a rebuild and they delivered exceptional football and success. So too did Pearson. 

 

We accept there needs to be systemic change so we allow for that. If it doesn't happen then he needs to get gone. But whilst he's saying what we're seeing then we support.

He’s not saying what I’m seeing. I’m seeing good players badly mismanaged 


 

I wonder in what other lines of work can you have a total shiteshow of a year, consistently underperform, blame everyone but yourself, and then choose a narrative that (bewilderingly) some fans choose to follow?

 

Anyway, whatever narrative he sets, he’s nowhere to hide now. Get us playing football like we did before the pandemic and then fair play- he’s turned us around and the doubters have been proven wrong.

Pearson did a rebuild yes. His rebuild involved getting rid of the deadwood another manager had signed

 

Rodgers’ rebuild involves getting rid of the deadwood he himself has signed 🤣🤣🤣. By himself making more signings 😅😩

You're so impatient Stuart. 

 

I'm very much a critic of Rodgers and have paid good money to see both the best and worst of him. 

 

I'm not placing a value judgement on his worth or ability. I'm saying that he's set the narrative and, as fans of the club, we allow for that and do what we can only do. 

 

For the record I think he'll get it wrong and we'll be rid. But with his successes and failures in mind we owe it to him to give him the rope with which he'll hang himself. 

 

The two managers I mentioned, MoN and BL, were intentional in that they both weathered poor performances before rebuilding. There is precedent. I don't think Rodgers will do it but as Leicester fans we should know better than to write off BEFORE a rebuild. 

 

Lord knows we've seen enough failures but we should know the value of patience.

Perhaps I am. Personally think we should’ve got rid in September. In that time I’ve seen nothing to convince me otherwise and so I don’t think 9 months is being impatient. 
 

Certainly from my point of view it’s just a matter of time.

That as it though may be. 

 

I'm not arguing either. I think he should have gone about six months ago. 

 

However, and this is a huge caveat, I implicitly trust the owners and they trust him. If he's talking rebuild and they're obviously backing him then I'm happy to give that. 

 

Between the success and the owners then he's got that good grace. Where he is in six more months is academic.

I bet they regret offering Rodgers that new contract, as he’d be down the road by now.

With the success he has brought to the club since he signed that new contract I highly doubt they regret it

FA Cup aside it’s debatable. Glass half full or half empty RE Top 5 twice. 
 

Absolutely nothing of last season was a success. Unless you want to include the Charity Shield which for me is clutching at straws. Though it’s still nice to have won it.

Pep Guardiola was brought into Man City to win the Champions League, back in 2016. 6 years later, he still hasn't won it, despite spending over 550 million net. 

 

Success or failure?

Missing out on top 4 is obviously a shame, but still getting top 5 is a success for a club like us?

 

The past 3 seasons or a new manager and what that could have brought?

 

Not a chance would I have wanted to change it.

 

Someone else being in charge doesn't mean we get to experience what we have so far at a minimum, yes it could've been better, but it could also have been a hell of a lot worse.

We have had four trophy winning managers.

 

Rodgers deserves respect.

 

He needs a good start to the season. 

 

 His performance makes him a legendary manager (show stats to prove otherwise).

 

He has some serious stuff to sort out but he has achieved.   Last season  was a disappointment.

 

I want him to turn it around.  I am hopeful,  not convinced.

 

Perhaps he should resign.  Perhaps we shall benefit from him next year.  Perhaps Brentord will.score from a corner after 31 seconds.

 

Personally, I would give him 13 games to get at least 20 points.

Tbf, his odds vary across bookies

One has him joint second favourite with three others, another joint fifth favourite. Some even have tuchel shorter than Brendan.  
 

there is no market at this time of year. 

Unless there's definite info coming out of clubs, the brains who're calling the odds are merely filling a notional odds sheet this early. If BR gets some decent deals done this summer then the odds are going to widen - until the bookies see how the actual games pan out. Bookmaking isn't magic - it's stats mixed with some insider info.

Well it looks like we don't have any choice in the matter. Lets hope he can walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

I have in this envelope the name of a manager who will sell his best players, buy replacements from Southampton and have the crowd on his back as we pass it around at the back at 0-1 down at home…

 

 

At least he's not bringing a defender at 3-0 down like Southgate! 🤣

A fit Fofana is literally the difference. We'll do well this season.

I do think he has to start fairly well and show demonstrable improvement on last season. Could quickly turn quite restless I think.

This is my take on it too

TBF we finished the season well and ended up 8th somehow!

But it was the sometimes chaotic performances and especially the goals that we conceded from corners that raised concern in the fan base.

I’ve given my take on it… our defense for much of the season wasn’t good enough. And the return of Little Wes rectified that to some extent, borne out by the goals conceded stats.

The fans are very split on Rodgers imo and I think you’re right, if we have a bad start to the season, I think the fans in the ground will turn pretty quickly. 
I also think this would be more so IF we don’t make any key, first team signings this summer.
