I still don’t know why people make out Rodgers has 100% of the control over transfers as a way to criticise him, he doesn’t have anything close to it. We’ve not operated that way as a club since Sven. We’re not giving “Rodgers” the rebuild job and relying on his nous in the transfer market, we’re giving our recruitment team the rebuild job and relying on their nous in the transfer market.

 

Virtually no top flight job gives their manager that control to dictate all the signings anymore.

 

Bertrand is not a Club transfer....It's a typical Rodgers signing, bringing in an ex player he has worked with before.

 

See Scott Sinclair at Celtic and Joe Allen at Liverpool.

Wouldn't be surprise if Vestergaard was an attempt by him to get Kasper onside, who we all know is a huge voice in the dressing room.

 

There's a reason quite a few ex players of Rodgers think he's a joke, Carragher/Glen Johnson are just a couple who have been openly critical of him. I think this job it too big for him, and that the reality is we're actually a 'big club' these days, even though some of our fans are reluctant to accept that.

We need to back him or sack him now. Give him the money for the overhaul and get behind him. No point sacking him after 10 games when the window is closed and the new man can’t do anything to implement his ways.

Totally agree but what is most likely to happen is the last bit of your post and that seriously damages our club and prospects long term.

No chance. The owners aren't going to let him control pre season, and the 'overhaul' and then tell him he's got 2 or 3 games to prove himself..

 

They have shown their loyalty and trust so he's going to be here for the foreseeable. 

 

I wanted him gone for a good chunk of last season, but, it's going to be a fresh season so just got to get behind him and hope the owners have made the right decision.

 Bertrand on his own wasn’t a bad signing, we needed an experienced pro, who was happy not to be first choice when everyone was fit, who could replace the role Fuchs played. He was free and I would imagine on similar if not less wages than Fuchs. He started okay, after he had covid he struggled to get back fully fit and back to any sort of form.

 

As for the big club comment, we are a big club, but on a similar level to Everton, Villa, West Ham, we’re not when compared to the big six- like it or not, they are on  another level in almost every aspect to us. We are in a fight every season for the final European place with other big clubs, and with Newcastle’s money now, it’s a huge challenge for a club our size to play regular European football. There are 7 clubs now who dwarf us in terms of their financial pull.

Any sources to suggest they think/thought he was a joke? Looks like over embellishment.

Nightmare scenario! We are having a poor season going into the break for the World Cup.  England inevitably flop big style with Southgate.

The owners and hierarchy at the club decide to make a change, sack Rodgers at the resumption of the season, and think to themselves, oh that nice man, and now ex England manager Southgate is available, lets give him a 5 year contract!  :jawdrop:

 

and Maddison leaves as he doe’s trust him 😊

Brendan will stay even if we’re in the bottom six. Our chairman’s hands are pretty much tied with lack of funds, the major overhaul Brendan mentioned will not happen.

He’ll be stuck with an unhappy Youri and Soyuncu at the start of the season, few if any new signings.

We’ll be mid table and typically inconsistent and we can’t use the Europa League/too many games excuse this time.

Well, we’re not playing any games at the moment so at least this thread serves as an outlet for the depressing negativity that permeated every match thread last season. 
 

Maybe we should wait to see what signings we make and how we start next season before we write it off? I can’t see the atmosphere in the stadium improving as it looks like we’ve given up already

Something that came into my mind, Brendan has been very vocal in relation to this refresh/rebuild however i am far from convinced he will get that opportunity given how tight finances appear to be.

 

Brendan has previous for having disputes and strained relationships due to clashes over transfer strategy and I wonder if this could be the start of a similar situation here, if his wishes for a refresh don’t come to fruition.

It's still early days, so we'll have to wait and see. We need to sell players first before we bring any more in. The squad is already full in terms of PL registration, and we also have a high wage bill for a club with our turnover. 

No one is going to meet our expectations for soyuncu due to his post euros form.   As usual we hadnt lined up changes and so will get mo preseason.   I see anti Rodgers forces at work.

Looks like the board have failed to back his "big rebuild".

I think they are pushing him towards the door.

A rebuild isn’t needed that’s just a narrative he’s come up with to justify why we didn’t have a good season.

 

We only need 2 or 3 of players and try and move out some of the deadwood.

I've been saying that since we lost to Forest as it had become clear we were already writing the season off domestically. It was almost it's own tragi-comedy as we witnessed the same deja vu set piece goals and an injury every other game. People just accepted we were having one of those seasons. If the same shit starts again, especially the set pieces, he might not make it to the break. We could hire a manager on half the money to finish 12-15th every season. He's here on big money to actually compete for silverware or European qualification. He can spout out all the over-achieving nonsense he likes but he knows the club's aims and he knows he didn't leave Celtic to come here and compete with Brighton, Saints & Palace.

Yeah when you do think back to the amount of games where it was just the same goal over and over again, it hit a point for me where it was almost funny how bad it was. I won't believe we've managed to spin a relatively OK look from a season where we were so below our best.

 

A continuation of last season and he should go.

Apart from the failing to score bit?

Unfortunately I feel the latter part of you post is what is really going to happen.
