Glad I didn’t bother going. Won’t be going another game until he’s gone, waste of time, effort and money. 

I'm only going next week to fly my "Rodgers Out" banner

 

Obviously only if he is still here!

Players are a disgrace as well. Don't look like they give a fvck, some more than others. Fed up of oppositions driving at us and nobody wanting to make a challenge.

Fly it high and fly it proud my man!

[WinslowFox]

Not surprised following his comments on Thursday and throwing all the players under the bus

No-one left to throw under the bus so now he's chucking the fans under the bus

Everyone elses fault but your own, eh Brent?

[DerbyshireFox]

Painful watch second half. Missed the first but from what I can see the only positive was Daka. Defensively a shambles. No guts, poor decision making, no confidence or belief - why would you when your manager publicly tells the world you aren’t good enough. Time is up. Thank you for the success you’ve brought us, but it’s time to step down or the board to pull the trigger. I’m all for sustainability, but relegation would be a massive threat to that

[SixtiesFox]

The man is poison. He is in full self-preservation mode. This is sabotage. He has to go! The club simply has no other choice, If the club can't afford to sack him maybe we fans can have a whip round.

Saying ??

He said they shouldn't only support them when they are winning, and they need to get behind the players as when we aren't they lose confidence or something along those lines anyway.

We still have a top half squad. We should not be this poor.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

We are where we are. 
Everyone is hoping that Rodgers gets sacked so that ‘our good squad’ bounces back.

I want Rodgers out. And I think we’d improve.

But I also think we have a very very average squad of players at this level.

Come back to me if/when the manager gets sacked and we aren’t rooted to the base of the division.

Call me Mr Thicky……. But if someone is doing a terrible job, objectively, how come they can’t be gotten rid of without a huge payout?

I was listening on 5Live, thought the Foxes fans quite vocal, at least until the 4th went in.

We have Susan Whelan, she will know the best way to handle this, she'll recognise Brendan for the weasel that he is, and is well respected by other chair people in the premiership. While BR thinks he's being clever acting like a Kamikaze pilot, he will be black listed by any future employers that have the sense to pick up the phone and speak to her.

 

Susan Whelan will recommend him to the skies to get all those millions in severance pay off her liabilities

[walkerleeds]

The players were walking around at 80 minutes letting Brighton have the ball with zero press, when we knew there would be significant injury time. 

 

It's completely inexcusable. Make individual mistakes all you want, but at least put in maximum effort until the final whistle.

It isn't a great squad, but good enough for mid table.

 

Not under Rodgers obviously.

[adam]

We're in a right fix. People still thinking we have a top half squad. Laughable. 

The squad is completely unbalanced. The defence is a mess and the goal keeper is not even championship standard. We don't have a right winger and the midfield cannot compete against any other midfield that can run a bit. We're ****ed

We were already confidence sapped before Ward had a shocker and surely drained all belief of those around him then we give away two sloppy goals first half. Players got to take some of that blame as well as Rodgers. Can we even afford to sack him? 

Can we afford not to?

As with all jobs performance is measured by objectives. Depending on what his objectives are for the season, despite our lowly present position he still has enough games and theoretical points to turn it around. If European football is an objective for instance he has two cups and enough league games remaining to achieve it. 
 

He probably hasn’t passeda threshold for gross misconduct

[jonny_wright]

Can’t wait for all the ex players in the media to say Rodgers deserves the chance to turn it around.

I’m surprised we’re only third favourites to go down. This squad is dog muck.

Who in their right fookin mind replaces Tielemans with Dan Amartey!

Utter garbage 

But isn't that the point? Rodgers is deliberately sabotaging the team. Selecting Amartey over Soyuncu, Thomas over Castagne, Ward over Iversen,  taking Barnes off at HT today for a defender,  playing people out of position when he has specialists available in those positions, etc. None of it makes sense. Whilst the players have to carry the can to some degree both today and previously, is it any wonder that they give up when they can see their manager routinely making decisions that undermine their chances?

The turn around needed to happen even before the forest game.

It's not an argument, you seem a little irate chap! Just a discussion that's all.

 

If you genuinely believe our squad is one of the 3 worst in the league then fair enough, I think you're wrong - but it's your opinion so no problem at all.

 

We will 100% go down if we keep Rodgers as manager, 100% - but this squad is so, so much better than how we're being managed.

 

 

I’m not irate. I just think you’re talking nonsense.

I hope you’re right btw. I hope we sack Rodgers and suddenly become the high performing squad you think we will be. But in the here and now, all you’re doing is surmising.

The reality is we have one point so far from 6 games. 1 point from a possible 18.

Thats the reality.

[AyewJoking]

I'm beyond despising Rodgers.

 

Player confidence is shot. We will go down with him at the club.

What's the plan Top, wait til we're officially relegated then sack him?

 

Give us a chance and remove him now.

Anyone have some idea of how much straight relegation would cost ?

Of course there will then be a rush to sell more players to "balance the books"

£25 million for madders, if we are lucky ?
