If we win or draw how many will now support Rodgers

Attacking me because you can’t get what you want?

 

Cant you find another team to support, because you are very obviously not a fan of this one,
 

It was pretty low hanging fruit to be fair.

 

I admire the sentiment of backing the manager who is in post regardless of how they are doing, but at this point, the idea of suggesting you're not a true fan if you don't back Rodgers is beyond strange. I'm afraid it's gone way past that and the baseline is would actually be the other way around; if you support our club, you'd want him gone? 

 

I will always support Leicester with a passion. It's a massive part of who I am and always has been. I'm comfortable with us being shit again at some point and it wouldn't affect my love for the club. But this manager is killing the club right now. No matter his successes, what he's doing now far exceeds that at the other end of the scale and if he continues on this path, there's the potential that there will be no more Leicester City to be a 'fan' of.

 

At this point, if you would rather support the manager and hope he's stays in post ahead of supporting what is clearly right for the club, then that says it all.

How can a draw against the second bottom team be a good result. Anything other than a fairly convincing win Needed

They’re above us. So far they’ve had a better season than us. But yeah obviously we should be beating them unless were overachieving again

Clearly the best scenario for the club is that Rodgers turns it round and we all want the club to succeed, the issue is that we would be ignoring the decline under Rodgers and not accepting that Rodgers is to blame for the situation the club is in, if there is no acceptance that Rodgers is the problem and therefore no appetite to replace him then we'll continue to struggle under him regardless of whether or not we go on a decent run of form.

[whetstonefox]

Think the best we can hope for is he turns it around, we stay up and finish around 15th then both parties call it a day in the summer.

Interviews..in football doesn't prove or make the man..! They are turned, twisted ,taken out of context according to ones own perspective..And quite fickle reason to dislike anyone on football..

 

Actions,system, working on the team & getting the best out of both team & squad..If Rodgers turned it around,and had long runs of results,mixed with playing entertaining football,then he with squad will have turned it around.

No more shithousery, team get on top of individual & defensive mistakes...

Put us in a position to challenge for top 8...

Make us to want to start to believe,he's then done his job...

 

Belly-flop..club board comes also under the spotlight...!

 I want what's best for LCFC so I want Rodgers to turn it around and keep us in the Premier league. That being said I have very little respect for BR & think he is a cancer at our club & will always want  him gone.

A good result unlikely Cooper knows our weaknesses but even if we scraped a win it's down to the players not Rodgers so a no from me.

You can predict it’s down to the players almost 2 days before the game?

[Corky]

I won't. The squad is more than good enough to stay up so getting results is about managing them into a position more fitting of their level.

 

What happens next year, though? What if we're in this position again? He doesn't deal well with adversity. Just move him on whatever the results.

[Finn Claw II]

Depends how we win.  If we win by being solid defensively and look like a team together then perhaps.  
 

i suspect more of the same fragility even if we somehow scrape a win

Always easy to go after someone who doesnt fall in line with what you want - I get it

 

I'm sorry, but people on here who say "I dont care what happens, I ONLY WANT RODGERS GONE!." are not fans.

People who say "I dont/wont watch until I GET WHAT I WANT!" are not fans.

 

Those are called Fairweather or Bandwagon fans. 

They will come around when things are going good and go on and on about how they were here during the bad times.  Well, those bad times are here now - and where the hell are they?

Let me guess, they only support during certain types of bad times.  Like during our 3 losses during the 2015/2016 season.  Anything more than that is "Too much to bear"

Yeah. Not fans..

Do you not see the irony in what yours saying? You're attacking people who don't agree with you as well saying they're not fans...

 

Opinion was split on Rodgers during the back end of last season and start of this, but we've shifted way past that now. To genuinely have faith in how he is operating, what he's saying about the club/fans and being content with the performances is to ignore the facts (as factual as something can be in this case). You want to believe that he is doing well enough, then that's up to you, and an opinion you're more than entitled to have, but you need to accept that you are in a complete minority and denying the reality of the situation so you have to accept that you're going to get criticised.

 

I bawled my eyes out when we got relegated to League 1 and I celebrated madly when we won that League title. Of course we all want us to go on a huge winning run and get us up to that top 8 where this squad should be. But the problems are so deep rooted and not just limited to on the pitch when it comes to Rodgers than a change in manager is the only logical way forward.

 

Yes, plenty on here have knee-jerk reactions to situations but we couldn't be in a worse situation. I don't get to lots of games but I go out of my to stream every single game and will keep watching even if we're being pumped 5-0. However, I've never felt such apathy towards a manager and complete disenchantment with what's happening at the club. First time I can ever remember being glad that we were not playing at the weekend and it's the first time I get why people would refuse to go or watch as it's that depressing and there's a feeling of inevitably about things. I will still watch every game but surely you understand why people are saying that? You don't have to like it or agree with that approach but again, if you can't accept that it's a valid opinion for supporters to have, you're just showing they anyone who doesn't have your opinion is not a fan in your eyes.

I dont see my response as attacking.  Simply stating an observation that certain posters on here are not fans.  That's different than questioning someone's intellect, or taking shots at the screen name.

What you and I are doing is having a disagreement, and a discussion.  IMO, that's what fans do.  We don't call each other names, and we don't resort to personal insults.

 

Look, I get the frustration.  I get wanting Rodgers replaced.  What I don't get is people inundating this forum with shots at Rodgers - and I'm not just talking about the Football threads.  Its everywhere, by the same people .  Its old.  Its tiring.  It honestly makes me wonder if this is where I should be.

I watch all the games.  I live in the US, so that means I get up at 4 or 5am a lot in order to watch them play.  I get frustrated when they play bad - which admittedly is a lot these days.  

Do you know what I don't do?  I don't come on here, beat my chest and proudly proclaim that I "no longer watch".  Repeatedly.  If you don't want to watch, don't.  But to be more proud about not watching, than watching just reeks of Fairweather to me.

I don't come on here and say that I will only watch again when certain criteria that I demand is met.  Really?  You're only a fan if A, B and C happen?  When it doesn't, you're a disruption?

That is just not a fan to me.  Sorry.

 

I'm curious.

What makes a fan to you?  More importantly, what makes someone a non-fan in your eyes?

What would someone have to say or do, for you to look at them and say "yeah, they are not a fan"?

One of the worst things about this scenario is the knowledge that even an absolute battering of Forest would be tainted for me.

 

We win 5-0 and the unbearable pr!ck will be lauded a genius for getting a tune out of a 'depleted' squad. 

 

Not that it'll happen anyway, but the prospect of not being able to fully enjoy a potential battering of our rivals to the full is pretty sad.

Leicester picked up 2 points of possible 18 in the 2019/20 season from the same games played against Southampton, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Brighton and Man Utd, so Brendan Rodgers should be safe and under no pressure at all. People who can count and understand that getting all these fixtures after each other could be difficult. Fans are mostly idiots without any clear vision, owners are desperate and do not understand football. Leicester is in a difficult situation and hopefully a win will happen on Monday, or else we would see Brendan Rodgers head on a platter. He is the best football coach in Britain and knows the game in and out. Roy Hodgson or Big Sam is not what we are wishing for, but that might be the solution because other men will demand more than they can get from the current owners at the club.

Lost to Southampton, drew at Arsenal and Chelsea, won at Brighton and lost vs Spurs and Man Utd. That was 5 points from 6 games, we've 1 from 7.

[Area88]

I am excited. Moyes and Lampard's teams won today. I back Rodgers to keep this trend going.

 

Rogers has my full and unconditional support. The international break brought much needed relief. Now I feel we can truly turn this around. Maybe become the new Invincibles.

Edited 1 October 2022 by Area88

[honeybradger]

Even if we win the next 5 games that's 16 points from 12 . Out of the relegation zone but still not good enough. 

 

When the best case scenario still looks bleak it's clear things have gone tits up, Rodgers has a very long way to go before he has redeemed himself.

[Pliskin]

Rodgers could win every game between now and then and I wouldn’t support him

[ALC Fox]

I think if we win on Monday, he saves hos job for now. Good results over the next 5 games definitely gives him the January transfer window. Then it would be how the season goes as a whole. March/April will be crucial. If he can come through all of that and we finish the season strongly with the players actually looking like a proper team, then I'll eat my words and he'll have won me round again.

 

In the meantime, I'll remain sceptical but always in support of the players who wear the shirt.

 

Rodgers has never been in charge of a team for as long as this. So, there's every chance he can turn this around. However, the last 12-15 months says it isn't particularly likely.

[AyewJoking]

This shouldn't even be a debate what a shambles.

Top or more likely whoever he is paying to do his job has left it too late.

 

Glad I'm working Monday night. Can't take anymore embarrassment.

[evostic]

Aye it’s a conundrum. Potential win against another potential doomed side that could buy the Manager the leeway of another three poor performances. Combined with fan views resetting over the past two weeks. The change in manager still needs to be made.

That’s on you, not the club or Brendan. If you can’t enjoy us winning 5-0 against a local rival in the Premier League then I genuinely feel sorry for you.

It's this above all I can't stand. The best case scenario has already gone for us.
